PNG to JPG Converter
Convert PNG images to JPEG to make them dramatically smaller. Drop files above, set the quality, and download. The conversion uses your browser's built-in JPEG encoder through the canvas API, so it is fast and nothing leaves your computer.
Why convert PNG to JPG?
PNG is lossless, which is perfect for logos and screenshots but wasteful for photos. A photo saved as PNG can be five to ten times larger than a good-quality JPG that looks the same. Converting helps when:
- A website loads slowly because hero images or product photos were exported as PNG.
- An upload form limits file size, e.g. job portals, government forms, or marketplaces.
- You email or message many photos and want them under an attachment limit.
- A system only accepts JPG, which is still common for ID photos and print shops.
Quality and file size
The quality slider controls how aggressively the encoder discards detail the eye is less sensitive to. The relationship is not linear: going from 100% to 90% often halves the file, while 90% to 80% saves less. Watch the size chips next to each preview — they show the original PNG and the new JPG side by side, so you can find the sweet spot for your image.
Transparency becomes a background
PNG supports an alpha channel; JPEG does not. Before encoding, the converter composites every pixel over the background color you choose. Semi-transparent edges such as anti-aliased logo borders are blended correctly, so there are no dark fringes. Choose the color of the page or slide where the image will be used.
If you need to keep transparency, convert to PNG to GIF or keep PNG. For the reverse direction, see JPG to PNG.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to transparent areas?
JPEG cannot store transparency, so transparent and semi-transparent pixels are blended onto a background color. White is the default; pick any other color with the color picker to match the page where the image will appear.
Which quality setting should I use?
80–92% is a good range for photos: files shrink a lot and the difference is hard to see. Use 95–100% for print or further editing, and 60–75% for thumbnails. Screenshots with text look best at 90% or higher.
Why did my screenshot get blurry?
JPEG is designed for photographs. Sharp text and thin lines produce ringing artifacts at lower quality. For screenshots and diagrams, PNG is usually the better format; raise the quality or keep the PNG.
Does the converter keep image metadata?
No. The JPG is created from the decoded pixels, so text chunks and color-profile metadata in the PNG are not copied.
