How does the PNG to JPG Converter work?
The PNG to JPG Converter turns lossless PNG images into compact JPEG files directly in your browser. The image is drawn onto a white background and saved as a JPG at 92% quality, a setting that keeps photos visually sharp while cutting file size considerably.
How to convert PNG to JPG
- Drop a .png file into the upload area, or click to choose one.
- Click Convert.
- Check the preview and click Download to save the JPG.
When JPG is the better format
- Photos and screenshots of photos: JPEG compression is designed for continuous-tone images and produces much smaller files than PNG for them.
- Email and upload limits: Smaller JPGs are easier to attach and fit size limits on forms and portals.
- Maximum compatibility: JPG opens in virtually every app, device, and print service.
When to keep the PNG
Keep PNG for logos, icons, line art, and images with text. JPEG compression can add soft halos around sharp edges and flat colors, and it cannot store transparency. How much smaller the JPG gets depends on the image: large photos shrink a lot, while simple graphics may barely change.
Frequently Asked Questions
JPG does not support transparency, so transparent areas are filled with solid white during conversion.
The JPG is saved at 92% quality, which is visually close to the original for most photos while producing a much smaller file.
You can convert it back, but the detail removed by JPEG compression is gone. Keep your original PNG if you may need it later.
