Convert JFIF to PNG

Windows saved your download as .jfif and nothing will open it. Turn it into a PNG, free, without uploading anything.

Drop files here or click to browse. JFIF / JPG / JPEG accepted, batches welcome

Drop a JFIF above, get a PNG back. Every pixel is redrawn losslessly into the new format. What you see is what the JFIF held.

You may want JFIF to JPG instead. A JFIF already is a JPEG, and that tool renames the file while leaving the image untouched. If your only problem is that the file will not open, renaming is the cleaner fix and takes no quality with it.

Convert to PNG when something specifically asks for PNG. Some upload forms reject anything else, some design software refuses .jfif on sight, and PNG is the format that supports transparency if the image is going to be edited later.

What PNG cannot do is undo the JPEG compression. The original save threw some detail away permanently. PNG keeps every pixel it is given, perfectly, including the compression marks already baked in.

Size: PNG stores photographs without discarding anything, which for a detailed photo often means three to five times the size of the JPEG it came from. For screenshots, line art and flat colour, PNG is frequently smaller.

A whole folder can go in at once, and comes back as a ZIP.

Frequently asked questions

Will converting to PNG improve the quality?

No. PNG copies every pixel it is handed without losing any, but the pixels it is handed have already been through JPEG compression. Nothing can put back detail the first save discarded.

Why is my PNG bigger than the JFIF was?

Because it is keeping everything. JPEG reaches small sizes by discarding detail your eye is unlikely to miss; PNG discards nothing. A photograph often lands three to five times larger. Screenshots and flat graphics usually go the other way.

Should I use JPG or PNG?

If you only need the file to open, JFIF to JPG renames it without touching the image. Choose PNG when a form, an app or an editor insists on it, or when the image needs transparency later.

Does the PNG keep the original metadata?

No. The image is redrawn from its pixels. Camera details, dates and location are left behind. JFIF to JPG is the one that preserves them, because it changes only the name.
