PNG to JPG Converter

Convert PNG to JPG

PNG files can be surprisingly large, particularly photographs and screenshots. Converting PNG to JPG typically reduces the size by a large factor, which makes the images easier to email, upload and store.

When JPG is the better choice

JPG is built for photographs and complex pictures with smooth colour changes. If your PNG is a photo, a scan or a rendered image, JPG will save a lot of space with little visible difference. Many upload forms also set a file size limit that a JPG meets easily and a PNG may not.

What happens to transparency

JPG has no transparency, so any transparent areas are filled with white during conversion. That is exactly what you want for a flat picture, but it is not suitable for logos that need to sit on a coloured background. Keep those as PNG or convert them to WebP.

Screenshots, photos and exports

PNG is the default for screenshots and many app exports, which is why files pile up in large sizes. Turning photo-like screenshots and rendered images into JPG can free a lot of storage. If a screenshot is mostly text or interface elements, keep it as PNG or convert it to WebP instead.

Good to know about PNG to JPG

• Do not convert text-heavy screenshots or pixel art to JPG if sharpness matters; JPG can blur hard edges.
• Keep your original PNG; converting back from JPG will not restore the lost detail.
• Select up to 20 files at once and download them together.

Drop your PNG files onto the converter above (or click to choose them), press Convert and download the JPG files. It works in your browser and needs no software.

How much smaller will the JPG be?

For photographs, often a fraction of the PNG. For flat graphics the savings can be smaller and the visual quality can drop more.

Why is the background white after converting?

JPG cannot be transparent, so transparent pixels are filled with white. Keep the PNG if you need transparency.
