What converting JPG to PNG does
The pixels are copied exactly as the JPG decodes them and stored without further loss. This does not restore detail that JPG compression already removed, but it stops further quality loss every time you edit and save the file.
Why the PNG is larger
PNG stores each pixel without loss, so a photo saved as PNG is typically several times bigger than the JPG. That is normal; use PNG when you need a lossless working copy or an upload form asks for it.
Transparent background?
A JPG has no transparency, so the PNG will be opaque. Removing a background needs an editor; this tool only changes the format.

FAQ
Does JPG to PNG improve quality?
No. It prevents new loss but cannot bring back detail lost when the JPG was created.
Why did my file get bigger?
PNG is lossless, so photographic images take more space than JPG.
Is my image uploaded?
No. Your browser converts it locally.
