How to convert an image to PNG

1
Drop your pictures
JPG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, BMP or PNG, one or a batch, mixed as they come. Each gets a page of its own, at its own size.
2
Pick the format
The Download menu starts on PNG. To go the other way, click File type until it says JPG, WebP or PDF.
3
Download
One picture saves as one file, a batch as one zip, every file named after the picture it came from.

Convert to PNG, or from PNG

Five pictures in five formats, lemonade-stand.webp, vintage-bike.avif, cupcake.gif, paper-boat.jpg and garden-beds.bmp, beside lemonade-stand.zip holding the five PNGs with their sizes

Any picture in, PNG out

Drop a WebP, an AVIF, a GIF, a JPG or a BMP, or all of them together. Each becomes a PNG at its own width and height, named after its file, and a batch comes back as one zip.

Clear backgrounds stay clear

A sticker or a logo with a see-through background keeps it as a PNG. JPG and WebP from here come out on white, or on the background color you picked, so choose PNG for anything that has to sit on top of something else.

PNG to JPG, WebP or PDF

Drop your PNGs and click File type in the Download menu: JPG for a smaller photo, WebP for the web, or PDF for one document with a page for each picture.
A PNG stores every pixel as it is, so it is usually bigger than a JPG, WebP or AVIF of the same picture: our lemonade stand went from 66 KB as a WebP to 1.1 MB as a PNG. From a BMP it is usually much smaller: our garden chart went from 4.1 MB to 101 KB.
Converting does not cut anything out: a picture with a background keeps it. Only clear parts already in the file, as in a sticker saved as WebP, AVIF, GIF or PNG, stay clear.
An iPhone or iPad works with pictures of up to about 16 megapixels, so a bigger photo is brought down to that size first, through one more JPEG save for a JPG or HEIC photo. On a computer, pictures up to 64 megapixels are kept whole.

What people convert to PNG

PNG is the format for pictures with sharp edges, words or see-through parts, and many apps and print shops ask for it.

More than a converter

Every picture opens in the same editor as the photo editor, so you can mark it up, add words or give it a background color before you save it.

Questions

How do I convert an image to PNG?+
Drop it on this page, or several at once. They open in the Compix editor, a page each, with the Download menu already on PNG. Press Download: one picture saves as a PNG, a batch as one zip.
Is this PNG converter free?+
Yes. There is nothing to pay, no trial and no account, and no mark is added to your pictures.
Can I convert to PNG without signing up?+
Yes. Converting and downloading need no account, no email and no sign-up.
Which files can I convert to PNG?+
Any picture your browser opens: JPG, WebP, AVIF, GIF and BMP, mixed in one drop. A moving GIF gives one PNG of its first frame. HEIC photos from an iPhone do not open in most browsers on a computer, so save them as JPG first.
Can I convert many files to PNG at once?+
Yes. Select them all and drop them together, or pick them all when you browse. One Download gives one zip, every PNG named after its picture; a second file with the same name gets -2.
Will converting to PNG lose quality?+
On a computer, no: the PNG stores exactly the picture you see, at its own size, and saving it again takes nothing away. It cannot add back detail a JPG already smoothed away. On an iPhone or iPad, a picture bigger than about 16 megapixels is brought down to that size first, so it loses a little there.
Does a PNG keep a transparent background?+
Yes, when the picture has one: the clear parts of a WebP, AVIF, GIF or PNG stay clear in the PNG. A JPG has none to keep, and converting does not cut out a background.
What happens to clear parts if I save as JPG or WebP?+
They are filled in: white, or the background color you picked. A JPG cannot be see-through at all, and the WebP saved here is filled in too, so keep PNG for anything with a clear background.
Can I convert PNG to PDF?+
Yes. Drop the PNGs, click File type in the Download menu until it says PDF, and press Download: one PDF with a page for each picture.
Why is my PNG bigger than the picture I dropped?+
A PNG stores every pixel as it is, while JPG, WebP and AVIF pack a picture small. When we tried it, a 66 KB WebP of a lemonade stand made a 1.1 MB PNG. A BMP goes the other way: our 4.1 MB BMP chart made a 101 KB PNG.
Can I convert to PNG on my phone?+
Yes. Tap the drop box and choose pictures from your photo library or your files; each gets a page. Then tap Share and Download the work, and your phone saves the PNG, or a zip of them.
Is there a limit?+
No daily cap and no set number of pictures, because your own browser does the work; a big batch just takes longer. The limit is the size of each picture: about 16 megapixels on an iPhone or iPad, and on a computer 64 megapixels or 16,384 pixels on the long side. A bigger picture is brought down to fit.
Are my pictures uploaded?+
No. They open in this browser tab, on your own device, and the PNGs are made there. Nothing is sent to a server for that. If you sign in to save your work, it is saved online with its pictures, so it opens on any device.
