JPEG's lossy DCT compression is everywhere — cameras, phones, the entire web — but some workflows demand PNG: certain upload forms, print pipelines, and editing tools that reject lossy formats. Converting here re-wraps the decoded pixels in PNG's lossless DEFLATE packaging. Be aware this can't add detail back — JPEG artifacts that exist stay frozen in place — but it does stop further loss and satisfies tools that only accept .png, all without the file leaving your browser.

.jpg, .jpeg — up to 200 MB. Processed locally; never uploaded.
No — the JPEG's existing compression artifacts are baked into the pixels and PNG faithfully preserves them. What you gain is format compatibility and immunity to further loss: re-saving a JPEG repeatedly degrades it, while the PNG stays fixed.
JPEG achieves its small size by discarding information; PNG keeps every pixel and compresses losslessly, which is far less efficient on photographic content. Expect the PNG to be several times larger.
No. JPEG never had transparency information, so there's nothing to recover — the PNG is fully opaque. Making a cutout requires an editing tool, not a format conversion.
Completely. Decoding and encoding happen inside your browser tab with no network activity — verifiable in your browser's developer tools.
