In this article, you can read how to save an image in JPG format as a PNG file. The quality of an image in JPG format deteriorates a bit each time you save it, while a PNG file has a so-called "lossless" format, which means that the quality does not change over time. To convert your JPG files into PNG files, you can use a converter on the Internet, or you can do it with the options built into your Windows PC or Mac.

2. click on UPLOAD FILES. This option is in the middle of the page. This will open the File Explorer window (on Windows) or the Finder window (on a Mac).
