I have a folder that has lot of JPG files. Now I want to convert all of them into PNG files. I searched on YouTube but didn't understand the methods. Further they weren't efficient as they had to do one by one by creating action first. Is there any other way in Photoshop? Like select the folder and select the output folder and desired file type?

For example, I have another software called PhotoScape. This software has this feature named as Batch processing. But I want to do it with Photoshop. Any idea?

Consider using ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick. A simple

mogrify -format png *.jpg

or, if you like uppercase extensions,

mogrify -format PNG *.JPG

will convert all of the JPG files in a directory (folder) to PNG at one fell swoop.

BTW, expect your PNG files to be 10 times the size of the JPGs if they are photos.

    \$\begingroup\$ Good answer. Even though OP seems to want to use Photoshop to make the conversion, this is an efficient, scriptable action, and will be a good answer for future searchers who don't have the strict "must use Photoshop" requirement. \$\endgroup\$

Look at the File->Automate and File->Scripts menu options. Perhaps you could create droplet or run image processor, although I don't know if these allow conversion to PNG in particular.

See what Adobe says about batch processing on Photoshop Help web site.

Perhaps I am missing anything, but by converting existing jpegs to png you will have the quality degradation of JPEG and worse compression (assuming we are talking about photographs) of png combined...
