Known limitations
Before converting, note these constraints:

- Final file size depends on source image content and selected quality settings.
- If compatibility is critical, choose broadly supported targets first (typically JPG).
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert JPG to PNG online?
Drop your JPG files in, keep PNG as the output format, then download. PicShift runs entirely in your browser with batch support (up to 200 files per run) and no upload.
Does converting JPG to PNG improve quality?
No. PNG cannot restore detail lost during JPG compression. At PicShift quality 95-100, the PNG preserves the pixels decoded from the JPG and applies lossless OxiPNG optimization; below 95, palette quantization may reduce colors.
When is PNG better than staying on JPG?
Choose PNG for transparency or an editing-oriented workflow, keeping quality at 95-100 when decoded-pixel fidelity matters. Stay on JPG when a smaller sharing file is the priority.
Will the PNG file be larger than the JPG?
Usually yes. PNG stores more image information and is less aggressive about discarding detail, so file size often increases — that is normal when you prioritize edit stability over size.
Why is the output file sometimes larger than the original?
Output can grow when a lossy source is written to lossless PNG, when codec or container overhead dominates a small image, or when the source is already efficiently compressed. Results depend on the image, format, and settings; no fixed saving is guaranteed. PicShift uses MozJPEG, OxiPNG, and libwebp-based workflows, but those implementation choices do not guarantee the smallest possible file. In compress mode, PicShift keeps the original when the generated result is larger. Learn more: https://picshift.app/docs/size-increase-explainer
