To convert an image to PNG, drop your files above in any supported format (JPG, WebP, HEIC/HEIF, AVIF, GIF, BMP or SVG) and click Convert to PNG. There is no quality slider because PNG output is lossless, and transparent areas stay transparent. Up to 50 files are converted in your browser and can be downloaded individually or as one ZIP.
How to use the Image to PNG tool
- 1
Add images in any format
Drag up to 50 files onto the drop area, each up to 50 MB. JPG, WebP, HEIC/HEIF, AVIF, GIF, BMP and SVG can be mixed in the same run.
- 2
Check the file list
Each file is listed with its name. There are no quality settings to adjust, because PNG stores every pixel without loss.
- 3
Click Convert to PNG
Your browser decodes each image and writes it out as a PNG locally, keeping any transparency the source contains.
- 4
Download
Save each PNG on its own or the whole batch as a ZIP. File names stay the same, only the extension becomes .png.
When PNG is the right destination
PNG is the format to reach for when an image needs to be edited further, layered or kept pixel-perfect. Because it is lossless, saving it again in an editor does not degrade it, and because it supports an alpha channel it can carry cut-out logos, icons and overlays with transparent backgrounds.
Converting to PNG is also a practical way to normalise a messy collection. Design tools, slide software, documentation systems and older image editors do not all open HEIC, AVIF or WebP, but they reliably open PNG. Turning a mix of files into PNG gives you one dependable format to work with before you start editing.
What PNG cannot do is restore detail that was already lost. A JPG converted to PNG looks exactly like the JPG, including any compression artefacts, only in a bigger file. Convert to PNG for editing headroom, compatibility or transparency, not to improve a photo's quality.
Keep transparency from WebP, AVIF, GIF and SVG sources
Plenty of images on the web are WebP or AVIF files with transparent backgrounds, and many logos exist only as SVG. Converting them to JPG would flatten the transparency onto a solid colour. If you need to keep transparency, PNG is the safe choice: transparent and semi-transparent pixels are written to the PNG as they are, so soft shadows and anti-aliased edges survive.
SVG files are rasterised at twice their intrinsic size, which gives crisp results on high-density screens. If an SVG has no width or height set, a 1024 px default width is used. Remote fonts or images referenced from inside an SVG may not load for security reasons, so inline them in the SVG first for the most faithful result.
Animated GIFs contribute only their first frame, since PNG here is a still image. GIF transparency is kept on that frame.
Photo to PNG from an iPhone, and what happens to metadata
A photo to PNG conversion is common when an iPhone HEIC needs to go into an editor or a document that does not understand HEIC. The HEIC is decoded with libheif compiled to WebAssembly, loaded only when you add such a file; for bursts, the primary image is used. Expect the PNG to be much larger than the HEIC, because lossless storage of a detailed photo takes space.
Re-encoding removes EXIF metadata such as camera model, date taken and GPS location. The EXIF orientation is applied to the pixels first, so the image keeps the orientation you saw on your phone.
Everything runs locally in your browser tab. Files are not uploaded to Krawly's servers, nothing is stored, and there is no signup or watermark.
Tips for the best results
- Use PNG when you plan to edit the image again; save a compressed JPG or WebP copy only at the very end.
- Large photos become large PNGs. If you only need a smaller file, compress the image or convert to JPG instead.
- Inline fonts and linked images inside an SVG before converting so nothing goes missing in the PNG.
- Mixed folders are fine: there is no need to sort JPG, HEIC and WebP files before adding them.
- Converting removes GPS location and camera details, which is useful before sharing images publicly.
Frequently asked questions
Which formats can I use to convert image to PNG?
JPG, WebP, HEIC/HEIF, AVIF, GIF, BMP and SVG, in any combination, up to 50 files per batch and 50 MB per image. AVIF decoding uses your browser's built-in support, available in current Chrome, Firefox and Safari.
Does converting an image to PNG keep transparency?
Yes. PNG supports full transparency, so transparent and semi-transparent areas from WebP, AVIF, GIF and SVG sources are kept as they are. JPG and BMP sources have no transparency to begin with, so they come out fully opaque.
Will converting JPG to PNG improve quality?
No. PNG stores the image without further loss, but it cannot restore detail that JPG compression already discarded. The PNG will look the same as the JPG and usually be larger. It is useful for editing without additional loss, not for repairing an image.
Why is my PNG so much bigger than the original?
PNG is lossless, while JPG, WebP, HEIC and AVIF are usually lossy and far more compact for photos. Storing every pixel of a detailed photograph exactly takes more space. That is expected, and it is why PNG suits graphics and editing better than final photo delivery.
Is there a quality setting for PNG output?
No, and none is needed. PNG output is lossless, so every pixel of the decoded image is saved exactly. The only choices that affect the result are which files you add; the converter handles decoding of each format automatically.
Is this PNG converter private?
Yes. It runs entirely in your browser with JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your images are never uploaded to Krawly's servers and nothing is stored. When you close the tab, the files and converted PNGs are cleared from memory.
Private by design. Every Krawly converter runs inside your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your files are not uploaded, stored or seen by anyone — when you close the tab, they are gone.
