Create, convert, and export PNG files for free

A versatile image format to customize and share

Unlike JPEG, PNG compression preserves image clarity and sharpness without introducing artifacts, making it the best format for creating logos, signatures, overlays, watermarks, and emotes for platforms like Twitch, Discord, and Slack. With transparency support and high color depth, you can customize designs using Kapwing's 1,000+ font styles, text animations, and special effects.


Whether you start with an image, video, or GIF, Kapwing simplifies the process from editing to exporting. When your project is finalized, export and download to your device or share directly to social media without losing quality.

From WebP to PNG in a single click

WebP is great for online use due to its smaller file size, but it’s not universally supported across devices, software, or platforms. Converting WebP to PNG ensures broader compatibility, making it easier to edit, share, and repurpose content. Kapwing’s quick and simple conversion process helps creators maintain quality while bypassing format limitations.

Most online images are rectangular and lack transparency. PNG files, however, support transparent areas, allowing for flexible shapes and designs. Content creators often convert JPG images to PNG to gain more control over editing and to allow greater customization options.

Enhance creativity with transparent images

The PNG file format’s key advantage is its ability to support transparent backgrounds, a feature not available with JPGs. Kapwing makes background removal effortless, requiring just two clicks and no prior editing experience. You can erase backgrounds from non-PNG file formats or edit and manipulate existing PNGs with ease.


Simply upload your image and select the "Erase" button on the right-hand panel under "Edit". You can manually erase sections with a brush tool, apply a Magic Wand, or turn the entire background completely transparent using our AI-powered Image Background Remover.

By the far the most user friendly software to use.
As a housewife at home looking to start a YouTube channel for fun with absolutely zero editing experience, it was so easy for me to teach myself via their YouTube channel. It takes the tediousness out of editing and encourages creativity. As long as Kapwing is around, I will be using their software.

Love this site.
As an English Foreign Language Teacher, this site helps me to quickly subtitle interesting videos that I can use in class. The students love the videos, and the subtitles really help them to learn new vocabulary as well as better understand and follow the video.

Excellent subtitling features
[It] works perfectly for me. Have been using Kapwing for a year or so, and their automatic subtitle tool gets better and better every week, it's rare that I have to correct a word. Keep up the good work!

Frequently Asked Questions

Bob, our kitten, thinking

Is Kapwing's PNG Maker free?

Yes, Kapwing’s PNG Maker is free to use. However, exports will include a watermark unless you upgrade to a Pro account.

Is there a watermark on exports?

If you are using Kapwing on a Free account then all exports — including the PNG Maker — will contain a watermark. Once you upgrade to a Pro account the watermark will be completely removed from your creations.

What are the main benefits of using a PNG format?

PNG files offer high-quality image resolution with lossless compression, which means no detail is lost when saving. They also support transparent backgrounds, making them ideal for web graphics, logos, and overlays.

What image and video formats does Kapwing support?

Kapwing's PNG Maker works with all popular file types for video (MP4, AVI, MOV, etc.) and image (JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF).

How to crop a PNG into a circle

Upload your PNG to Kapwing’s Studio. Select the image then scroll down until you see the section titled 'Borders'. Use the 'Corners' slider to turn your image into a circle.

JPEG vs PNG

JPEG is better for photographs and compressed images where file size matters more than detail. PNG is best for graphics, images with text, and when transparency or sharp lines are needed. PNG maintains image quality, while JPEG compresses it.

Do PNG files support transparent background?

Yes, PNG files fully support transparency. This allows you to remove or maintain a transparent background, making them perfect for design elements, logos, or layering images in projects.

How do I convert a JPG to a PNG?

Upload your JPG file to Kapwing. Remove the image background using the 'Eraser' tool in the right-hand menu. Finally, export as a PNG using the 'Export' button.

Can you print out .png files?

Yes, you can print PNG files. They retain high quality, which makes them suitable for physical materials like flyers, labels, and posters — especially if sharp edges or transparency are required.

Can you use the PNG Maker on an iPhone or Android?

Yes, Kapwing’s PNG Maker works on both iPhone and Android devices via a web browser. No app download is needed — just open Kapwing in your mobile browser.
