How to use the PNG to JPG Converter
- Drop one or more PNG files on the box, or click it to choose them.
- Adjust the quality slider (85 % is a good default) and the background color for transparent areas.
- Optionally set a maximum width to resize while converting.
- Download each image, or all of them as a ZIP.
Why convert PNG to JPG?
PNG files are lossless, which is perfect for graphics but wasteful for photos: a photo saved as PNG is often several megabytes, while the same image as a JPG at quality 85 looks the same and is a fraction of the size. Converting PNG to JPG is the quickest way to make photos small enough for email, upload forms with size limits, or a faster website.
PNG vs JPG
| PNG | JPG | |
|---|---|---|
| Full name | Portable Network Graphics | JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) |
| Compression | lossless | lossy |
| Transparency | Yes | No |
| Animation | only as APNG | no |
| Typical size | large for photos (often 5–10× a JPG) | small for photos |
| Best for | screenshots, logos, icons, UI graphics and anything with text or sharp edges | photographs and images with smooth gradients |
| Weak at | photographs, where files become very large | text, line art and flat colors, which get blurry edges and artifacts; it also has no transparency |
| Support | every browser, OS and app | every browser, OS, camera and app |
What happens to transparency?
JPG has no alpha channel, so transparent areas have to become a solid color. By default they are filled with white; pick another background color to match where the image will be used.
Choosing the quality
JPG is lossy, and the quality slider controls the trade-off. 80–90 % is visually indistinguishable from the original for most photos; 60–75 % is fine for thumbnails and backgrounds; above 92 % file size grows quickly for little visible gain. The table shows the before and after size for every file, so you can adjust and compare instantly.
Private, batch conversion
Conversion uses your browser’s own image decoder and the HTML canvas, so files are never uploaded — useful for personal photos, client work and screenshots with sensitive data. Drop as many files as you like, then download them one by one or all together as a ZIP. You can also set a maximum width to resize large images while converting. Need smaller files without changing the format? Use the image compressor; to change dimensions only, use the image resizer.
