| Description | MPO is a format containing multiple JPEG images in one file, typically used for 3D images and panoramas taken with digital cameras. |

| File extension | .PNG |
| Category | Image File |
| Description | PNG images provide lossless compression, that is why the quality of the picture is nice, but the size of the file is huge. Because of it this file format is used by photographers. PNG may have several layers of transparency and even include short text descriptions which help search engines to examine the file. Although PNG was developed to replace GIF and partly other formats, it doesn’t support animation since it can’t contain several images like GIF. |

You open an .mpo file and your image viewer either rejects it or shows just one of the two pictures hidden inside. That is because an MPO is a 3D photo built from two stacked JPEG frames, and most software has no idea what to do with the second one. Converting MPO to PNG pulls out a single, ordinary image that every program — browsers, editors, phones, document apps — can display without any 3D support.
A .mpo file uses the Multi-Picture Object format, a container that packs two or more JPEG images into one file. In a stereoscopic photo, those two frames are the left-eye and right-eye views that together create a 3D effect. The format was used by 3D cameras and devices such as the Nintendo 3DS and the Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D series. Because the file holds multiple images at once, standard viewers usually fail to open it or show only the first frame.
| Property | MPO (.mpo) | PNG (.png) |
|---|---|---|
| Full name | Multi-Picture Object | Portable Network Graphics |
| Images per file | Two or more (3D left and right views) | One single image |
| Compression | JPEG (lossy) | Lossless |
| Purpose | Stereoscopic 3D photography | Standard 2D images and graphics |
| Viewer support | Rare; many apps show only one frame | Universal — every browser and editor |
| Transparency | Not supported | Supported (alpha channel) |
The converter opens the .mpo container and reads the JPEG frames stored inside it. It takes the first image — normally the left-eye view — and decodes it into raw pixels. Those pixels are then written as a standard PNG using lossless compression, so the extracted image keeps its full quality. The result is a single, flat .png file with no 3D data attached, ready to open in any image viewer, editor, or browser. The second frame is set aside, leaving you one ordinary picture.
