Will the PNG look sharper?

No. Existing JPEG artifacts remain. PNG prevents additional loss on later saves of those pixels.

Will the file get larger?

Often yes for photographs, because PNG does not use JPEG-style lossy compression.

No. JPG to PNG runs in your browser.

Does the PNG have transparency?

No. JPEG sources are opaque, so the PNG output is opaque.

What files are accepted?

JPG and JPEG only, after signature and decode checks.

Steps

Open /tools/jpg-to-png.
Choose a .jpg or .jpeg file under 25 MB.
Select Convert & download.
Save the .png file.

What conversion does not do

It does not restore detail lost to JPEG compression, and it does not create transparency. The PNG stores the decoded opaque pixels losslessly going forward.

Privacy

Conversion runs locally in your browser without uploading the image to Looty Tools servers for this workflow.
