PNG to JPG Converter

Convert PNG images to JPG format instantly in your browser. Control the output quality to balance file size against visual fidelity — JPG files are typically 60–80% smaller than equivalent PNG files, making them ideal for web use, email attachments, and social sharing. Note that JPG does not support transparency; any transparent areas in your PNG will be filled with white.

How to Use PNG to JPG Converter

  1. 1

    Upload your PNG

    Click the upload area or drag and drop your PNG file. You can also upload WebP or other formats if you want to convert them to JPG.

  2. 2

    Set the quality level

    Use the quality slider to control the JPG compression. 85% is recommended for most uses — it produces files 50–70% smaller than PNG with barely visible quality difference.

  3. 3

    Choose background colour

    If your PNG has a transparent background, select the fill colour for transparent areas (white is the default, as JPG does not support transparency).

  4. 4

    Convert

    Click the Convert button. The browser re-encodes the image as a JPG file instantly — no server required.

  5. 5

    Download

    Download the JPG file. The original PNG remains unchanged on your device.

When to Use This Tool

Reducing file size for web upload
PNG files are large. Converting to JPG at 80% quality typically reduces file size by 60–80%, making images load faster on websites and pass CMS upload size limits.
Email attachments
Email providers cap attachment sizes. Convert large PNG screenshots or graphics to JPG to send them without hitting file size limits.
Social media posting
Most social platforms handle JPG better than PNG for photographs. Converting ensures your image is processed correctly and does not get re-compressed unexpectedly.
Removing transparency for print
PNG transparency does not print correctly in some software. Convert to JPG with a white background to get a print-ready file that works in all applications.
Storage space saving
Large collections of PNG screenshots or exports take up significant disk space. Convert to JPG to reclaim storage while keeping the images visually indistinguishable.

About PNG to JPG Converter

The PNG to JPG Converter converts PNG images to JPG format, significantly reducing file size for photos and images that don't require transparency. PNG's lossless compression is excellent for graphics, logos, and screenshots, but produces unnecessarily large files for photographs — converting to JPG at high quality settings can reduce file size by 60–80% with no visible quality difference in photographic content.

PNG to JPG conversion is needed for:

  • Reducing the file size of PNG photographs for email, web upload, or social media sharing
  • Converting PNG exports from design software to web-ready JPG format
  • Meeting platform file size limits that reject large PNG files
  • Optimizing website images when PNG has been used unnecessarily for photographic content
  • Converting screenshots saved as PNG to smaller JPG for attachment to emails

The conversion renders the PNG image (decoding the DEFLATE-compressed pixel data) onto an HTML5 Canvas and re-encodes it as JPEG using the browser's native JPEG encoder with your chosen quality factor. Transparent areas in the PNG (if any) are composited over a configurable background color (white by default) since JPEG does not support an alpha channel. The resulting file size depends on the image content and quality setting — photographic images with gradual tonal transitions compress much better than PNG graphics with flat color regions and sharp edges.

Input: PNG (including PNG with transparency). Output: JPG at adjustable quality (1–100). Transparency handling: transparent areas filled with configurable background color (default white). Background color: white, black, or custom hex. Batch support: convert multiple PNG files at once. Max file size: 20 MB per image. All processing is browser-based.

No files are uploaded to any server — conversion runs entirely in your browser. For images requiring transparency, always keep the original PNG. To also optimize the resulting JPG further, use the Image Compressor after converting. For converting back to PNG, use the JPG to PNG Converter.

Pro Tips for PNG to JPG Converter

1

Never convert PNG logos or graphics with text to JPG — JPEG compression creates visible artifacts around sharp edges and text that PNG avoids. Only convert photographic PNG content.

2

For web images, save at 85% JPG quality — it's the Google PageSpeed recommended quality that achieves the best size/quality balance for photographic content.

3

After converting to JPG, check the file size — if it's still over 500KB, apply additional compression using the Image Compressor for web-ready files.

4

When converting screenshots to JPG, be aware that UI text (menus, buttons) will show JPEG artifacts at quality below 90 — keep screenshots as PNG if text clarity matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does converting PNG to JPG reduce quality?+
JPG uses lossy compression, so some image data is discarded. At 80–90% quality, the difference is virtually invisible in photographs. For images with sharp text, flat graphics, or fine lines, the quality reduction may be more noticeable — in those cases, keep PNG or use 90%+ quality.
What happens to PNG transparency when converting to JPG?+
JPG does not support transparency. Transparent areas in your PNG will be filled with a solid colour — white by default, but you can choose any colour using the background colour picker. If transparency is important for your use case, keep the PNG format or convert to WebP which supports alpha transparency.
How much smaller will the JPG file be compared to the PNG?+
For photographs, JPG at 80% quality is typically 60–80% smaller than the equivalent PNG. For flat graphics with large areas of solid colour, the difference is smaller — often 20–40%. PNG uses lossless compression that is especially efficient for simple graphics, so the relative saving from JPG is less pronounced for those types of images.
Can I convert multiple PNG files at once?+
Yes — drop multiple PNG files into the upload area and each will be converted individually. Download them one by one or use the Download All button to get every JPG in one go.
Will the image dimensions change after conversion?+
No. The width and height of the image remain exactly the same after conversion. Only the format and file size change.
Is PNG to JPG conversion reversible?+
Not losslessly. Once you convert to JPG and discard the original PNG, you cannot recover the exact original pixels. The quality loss from a single conversion at 80%+ is generally negligible, but repeated JPG-to-JPG conversion accumulates quality degradation. Always keep your original PNG files as master copies.
