PNG to JPG Converter

Convert PNG images to JPEG and reduce file size by 60–80%. Best for photos and images without transparency. Free, instant, and private — nothing leaves your browser.

Why convert PNG to JPG?

PNG is a lossless format that stores every pixel perfectly — which makes it ideal for logos, screenshots, and graphics with text. However, for photographs and complex images, PNG files can be 3–5 times larger than the equivalent JPEG. Converting PNG photos to JPG dramatically reduces file size with minimal visible quality loss.

Important: transparency becomes white

JPEG does not support transparency (alpha channel). If your PNG has a transparent background, it will be filled with a solid white background in the output JPG. If you need to preserve transparency, use PNG to WebP → instead, which supports alpha transparency.

When should I keep PNG instead of converting to JPG?

  • Your image has a transparent background that must be preserved
  • You're working with logos, icons, or text-heavy graphics (sharp lines compress better in PNG)
  • You need lossless quality for further editing
  • The image will be repeatedly saved/re-exported (JPEG quality degrades each time)

Frequently asked questions

For photographs and images with gradients and many colors, yes — JPEG is 60–80% smaller than PNG. However, for simple graphics, logos, and images with flat colors or sharp edges, PNG can sometimes be smaller than JPEG because JPEG struggles with high-contrast edges and produces visible artifacts.
JPEG does not support transparency. All transparent pixels in your PNG will be replaced with a white background in the output JPG. If you need to preserve transparency, convert to WebP or keep the PNG format.
For photographic PNGs, quality 85–90 produces excellent results indistinguishable from the original at normal screen sizes. For images with text or sharp geometric shapes, use quality 90–95 to minimize JPG compression artifacts around edges.
Yes, but with caveats. Screenshots of text and UI elements have sharp edges that JPEG compresses poorly — you may see blocky artifacts around text. For screenshots, PNG-to-WebP is a better choice as WebP handles sharp edges better than JPEG at the same file size.
