Some metadata may not survive
Your PNG file may contain tEXt, iTXt metadata. JXL has limited or no support for these metadata types. Location data (GPS), camera settings, and color profiles may be stripped during conversion.
Color depth reduction: 48-bit → 32-bit
PNG stores up to 48 bits per channel, but JXL supports only 32 bits. You may notice banding in smooth gradients (like sky or skin tones) where subtle color transitions are lost.

About PNG to JPEG XL Conversion
PNG (introduced 1996) and JXL (introduced 2022) are both image formats, but they differ in important ways. PNG uses lossless compression and supports transparency, making it perfect for graphics, logos, and screenshots. JPEG XL is a next-generation format with both lossless and lossy modes, aiming to replace JPEG and PNG.
Full Name: PNG uses Portable Network Graphics, while JXL uses JPEG XL. Compression: PNG uses Lossless, while JXL uses Lossy & Lossless. Transparency: PNG uses Yes, while JXL uses Yes.
When you convert PNG to JXL, the goal is to upgrade to a modern format. Converting PNG to JXL maintains high quality with CocoConvert's optimised encoder settings. Understanding these technical differences helps you choose the right format for your workflow.
Your PNG file is decoded and re-encoded as JXL. The conversion involves 4 steps: (1) your png file is uploaded and the format is validated, (2) the file content is decoded into its raw representation, (3) the data is re-encoded in jxl format with optimal settings, (4) the converted file is ready for download.
CocoConvert's converter handles the entire pipeline server-side using FFmpeg, Sharp, and qpdf — battle-tested libraries used by streaming platforms and enterprise tools. Files are encrypted in transit and deleted within 24 hours.
This conversion is ideal when you When you specifically need a JXL file for your workflow. For the opposite direction, CocoConvert also supports JXL to PNG conversion.

Select your PNG file by dragging it to the upload zone or using the file picker. Batch upload is available for multiple files.
- 2
Choose .jxl
Set JXL as the output format. The converter uses optimal settings based on the PNG→JXL conversion profile.
- 3
Convert
The server-side engine decodes your PNG file and re-encodes it as JXL. Processing time depends on file size and complexity.
- 4
Download result
Grab your converted .jxl file. Multiple output files can be downloaded together.
What Happens When You Convert PNG to JPEG XL
Your PNG image is decoded into raw pixel data, then re-encoded as JXL.
Your PNG file is decoded — the compressed/stored pixel data is expanded into raw RGBA (with alpha channel) pixels
Pixels are re-encoded using JPEG XL's lossless compression
Metadata (EXIF, ICC profiles) is transferred where JXL supports it
The JXL file is saved and ready for download
