How to convert PNG to JPG
- Drop your PNG files on the box, choose them with Choose images, or paste an image with Ctrl+V.
- Pick a quality. 90 is a good default, 80 to 85 gives a smaller file.
- If the PNG has transparent areas, choose the background color that fills them. White is the default.
- Each image is converted as soon as it is added. The list shows the size before and after.
- Click Download next to a file, or Download all as ZIP.
What changes when you convert PNG to JPG
- The file gets smaller. A photo saved as PNG is often 5 to 10 times larger than the same photo as a JPG at quality 90. This is the main reason to convert.
- Transparency is replaced by a color. JPG cannot be transparent, so see-through areas are filled with the background you choose. Without a fill they would turn black, which is why this tool defaults to white.
- A little detail is lost. JPG is lossy. At quality 90 or more a photo looks the same, but sharp text and thin lines can show faint blocks around the edges.
- Metadata is not copied. The PNG text chunks and any embedded color profile are not carried over, and the result is a standard JPG.
- Animated PNG becomes one still. Only the first frame is saved.
When JPG is the right choice
- The image is a photo, which JPG compresses very well.
- A form, portal or email limits the file size, or only accepts JPG.
- You are putting the image on a web page and want it to load fast.
- You are sending it to a print shop or a photo kiosk.
When to keep the PNG
Keep the PNG for logos, icons, screenshots with text and anything that needs a transparent background. A screenshot converted to JPG can come out blurry around the letters, and sometimes it is not even smaller. The PNG vs JPG guide helps you decide.
Privacy
The images are converted in your browser. They are never uploaded, so the converter also works offline once the page has loaded.
