Convert image to PNG

Convert JPG, GIF, TIF, SVG, PSD, WEBP, and HEIC files to PNG in a browser workflow. PNG can carry transparency when the decoded source includes it.

What is Convert Image to PNG?

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) uses lossless encoding and can store transparency. This converter rasterizes supported source formats into PNG in the browser. It can preserve an alpha channel supplied by the decoder, but it does not restore detail already lost in a JPG or retain layers, animation, and every source-format feature.

Why Choose PNG Format?

Choose PNG when transparency, sharp UI edges, or flat-color graphics matter. The PNG encoder does not add a lossy compression step to the converted raster, but decoding and flattening another format can still change unsupported features. Detailed photos can become much larger than JPG or WebP, so compare the output with the destination limit.

How to Convert Images to PNG

1

Upload your images - Click 'Upload Image' to convert image to PNG, or drag and drop multiple files in JPG, GIF, TIF, SVG, PSD, WEBP, HEIC formats

2

Preview and rotate - View thumbnails of your images and rotate them if needed before conversion

3

Download results - Click 'Download' to convert and save individual files or get a ZIP archive for multiple images

Convert Image to PNG Features

Batch Conversion

Convert image to PNG in batches with our efficient converter. Upload up to 50 files at once and convert them all to PNG with a single click, saving time and effort.

Transparency Preservation

Preserves an alpha channel when the supported source decoder supplies it. Check the downloaded PNG on light and dark backgrounds before use.

Lossless PNG Encoding

PNG encoding avoids a new lossy compression step, which is useful for screenshots and flat graphics. It cannot reconstruct detail missing from the source.

Browser-Based Processing

Conversion runs in your browser, and PhoEdit does not intentionally upload the selected files during the normal workflow. The page may still request site, analytics, advertising, font, or helper-library resources described in the Privacy Policy.

PNG conversion workflow

Choose PNG for transparency and crisp graphics, not as a repair step

PNG is useful for transparent cutouts, interface screenshots, diagrams, logos, and flat-color graphics. Its lossless encoding preserves the pixels supplied to it, but converting an already compressed JPG to PNG cannot restore detail that JPG discarded. Expect some photo files to become larger.

Common tasks and a safer order of work

A cutout needs a transparent background

  1. Confirm the source actually contains transparency before conversion.
  2. Download the PNG and place it over both a light and a dark background.
  3. Inspect edge halos and small openings in the subject before publishing.

A screenshot must keep small text crisp

  1. Keep the original pixel dimensions unless the destination requires another size.
  2. Convert once, then inspect labels and one-pixel lines at 100%.
  3. Compress or resize only after the PNG output is visually correct.

Several assets need one editable format

  1. Test layered, animated, or vector-origin files individually.
  2. Assume the conversion produces a flattened still image unless the output explicitly proves otherwise.
  3. Keep source files for future editing.

What the settings change

Transparency

PNG can preserve an existing alpha channel, but it does not automatically remove a background from an opaque JPG.

Lossless output

Lossless means the PNG encoder does not add new lossy damage. It does not reverse compression or recreate missing source detail.

File weight

Detailed photographs can be substantially heavier as PNG than as JPG or WebP. Use PNG when its transparency or crisp-edge strengths are relevant.

Result checklist

  • View transparent results on contrasting backgrounds.
  • Inspect text, icons, and flat-color edges at 100%.
  • Compare the PNG file weight with the destination limit.
  • Confirm the output is a still, flattened image when the source had layers or animation.
  • Keep the editable or original source separately.

Limits and recovery steps

The converted PNG has no transparency.
Conversion cannot infer a background to remove. Use Background Remover or an editor first when the source is opaque.
The PNG is much larger than the source.
That can be normal for photographs. Use JPG or WebP if transparency and lossless graphics are not required.
A blurry JPG stays blurry.
PNG preserves the converted pixels but does not restore detail lost before conversion.
