Is .jpeg the same as .jpg?

Yes, JPEG and JPG are the exact same format — just different file extensions. This converter handles both identically, so a file named photo.jpeg converts exactly the same way as one named photo.jpg.

Will converting JPEG to PNG add transparency?

No. PNG supports transparency, but it can't add it where none existed — the JPEG's content is copied as-is, just in a lossless container, so any background stays exactly as opaque as it was in the source photo.

Why is the PNG file larger than the .jpeg?

PNG stores images without lossy compression, so photos typically become 3–10× larger — the trade-off for lossless quality, and that gap grows even wider for detailed, high-resolution photographs.

Can I convert several .jpeg files to PNG at once?

Yes. Add all your .jpeg files together and click Convert — they are processed as a batch with no limit on file count.

Why convert a .jpeg to PNG at all?

Mainly to edit it repeatedly without extra generation loss, or to hand it to a tool that expects a lossless format. Every time a JPEG is re-saved it loses a little more detail, so converting once to PNG and editing that copy avoids compounding the damage.

Does converting to PNG remove the JPEG's compression artefacts?

No. Whatever blockiness or blurring the JPEG already has is baked into the pixels and carries over exactly into the PNG. PNG only prevents further loss going forward — it cannot undo compression that already happened.

When should I pick PNG instead of just keeping the .jpeg?

Choose PNG when you plan to edit the image multiple times, need it to sit on a transparent background, or are feeding it into software that specifically expects a lossless file. For a photo you are only viewing or sharing once, the original .jpeg is usually the more practical, smaller choice.

About JPEG and PNG

Key things to know before you convert JPEG to PNG:

JPEG

JPEG (also called JPG) is the universal photo format: every device and app opens it, and lossy compression keeps file sizes small. The .jpeg and .jpg extensions are identical — only the name differs.

PNG

PNG is the lossless standard for web graphics: screenshots, logos, UI elements and anything with transparency. Pixel-perfect every time, but photos in PNG are 3-10x larger than JPG.
