JPG Converter: Convert JPG to PNG or WebP Online

Convert JPG photos to PNG or WebP entirely in your browser. Process up to 20 files at once without uploading them.

Good to know: Converting always drops EXIF and location data as a side effect of re-encoding. If you want to strip metadata without changing the file format, use Remove EXIF Data instead.

How it works

  1. 01

    Drop in up to 20 JPG files.

  2. 02

    Pick PNG or WebP as the target format.

  3. 03

    Each file decodes and re-encodes locally, then downloads one by one or as a zip.

Common uses

  • Preparing a JPG for a design tool or workflow that requires PNG
  • Converting photos to WebP for a lighter website image format
  • Turning a phone photo into a format your graphics editor accepts
  • Preparing a JPG for a tool that only accepts PNG uploads

Should you convert JPG to PNG or WebP?

Changing a JPG to another format cannot restore detail already lost to JPEG compression. The best output depends on whether you need broad editing support or a modern web format.

Choose PNG for workflows

PNG is lossless after conversion and works well in editors and upload systems that require it, but the result is often larger than the JPG.

Choose WebP for websites

WebP is designed for efficient web delivery and can be a practical replacement for JPG in modern browsers and content systems.

Metadata is removed

Re-encoding drops EXIF, GPS, camera, and editing metadata. The stored orientation is applied first so portrait photos remain upright.

Frequently asked questions

Does converting strip EXIF and location data?

Yes. Decoding and re-encoding drops EXIF, GPS, and other metadata as a side effect. If you want to strip metadata without changing the file format, use Remove EXIF Data instead.

What happens to photo orientation?

The correct orientation is baked into the pixels before re-encoding, so portrait photos come out upright rather than sideways.

Is there a size or batch limit?

25 MB and 40 megapixels per photo, up to 20 files per batch.

Does converting to PNG recompress my photo?

PNG re-encodes the decoded pixels losslessly, so no further compression artifacts are added. However, any quality already lost to the original JPG's compression cannot be restored.

Can I convert to more than one format at once?

No. Choose one target format per run. Process the same batch again with a different target if you need both.

Why did WebP conversion fail?

Some Safari versions can't encode WebP from a canvas. When that happens the tool reports it directly instead of silently saving the wrong format.
