Converting JPG to PNG re-encodes your photo into a lossless format: every pixel in the PNG is exactly the pixel your JPG contained. That makes PNG the right container when an image will be edited further — cropping, annotating, compositing — because editing and re-saving a JPG repeatedly compounds quality loss, while PNG survives unlimited edit cycles.
One honest note: conversion cannot add quality. Any compression artefacts already baked into the JPG are preserved faithfully. What you gain is a stable, lossless format for everything that happens next, plus compatibility with tools and workflows that require PNG input.
Conversion runs entirely in your browser, so even a full batch finishes quickly with nothing uploaded.
