How to convert PNG to JPG

  1. 1

    Add your PNG files

    Drop in screenshots, illustrations, or exports — convert one image or a whole batch.

  2. 2

    Set quality and background

    JPG has no transparency, so pick white or black for empty areas. Lower quality means smaller files.

  3. 3

    Download your JPGs

    Grab the files individually or as a ZIP. They open in every app, browser, and printer.

Features

Massive size savings

Photos and screenshots routinely drop by 70–90%, which speeds up uploads, email, and page loads.

Transparent areas, your call

PNG has no fixed colour behind transparency. Choose white or black so the result looks intentional.

Fine-grained quality

Slide from smallest file to near-identical to the original and stop where the image still looks right.

Stays on your device

Files are read, re-encoded, and saved back to your machine. No upload, no queue.

Why convert PNG to JPG?

PNG stores every pixel losslessly, which is excellent for screenshots and graphics but heavy. JPG compresses far more aggressively, so a screenshot that weighs 2 MB as a PNG can land under 200 KB as a JPG.

  • Typically 70–90% smaller files
  • Ideal for screenshots and photo-like images
  • Universally supported everywhere

PNG or JPG for text and edges?

For screenshots full of small text, crisp edges, or flat UI colours, PNG usually looks better because it is lossless. Use JPG when the image is photographic or when file size matters more than the sharpest possible edges.

  • PNG — screenshots, UI, logos, line art
  • JPG — photos, scans, anything with gradients
  • WebP — the modern middle ground

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert a PNG to a JPG?

Add your PNG files, choose a background colour for transparent areas, adjust quality if you like, and click Convert to JPG. Everything runs inside your browser in seconds.

What happens to transparency when I convert PNG to JPG?

JPG cannot store transparency, so transparent pixels are filled with the background colour you select. White suits most screenshots; black is better for light artwork on dark slides.

How much smaller will the JPG be?

For screenshots and photo-like images, 70–90% is typical. Images that are mostly flat colour or already heavily optimized may shrink less — you can compare the before and after sizes in the results list.

Will converting to JPG reduce quality?

Slightly, because JPG is lossy. At the default 92% quality the difference is invisible; push toward 100% if the image will be printed or re-edited many times.

Can I batch convert many PNGs at once?

Yes. Drop in as many files as you like and download everything in a single ZIP archive. Every file keeps its own name with a .jpg extension.

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. Your browser decodes and re-encodes the images locally with the canvas API, so nothing is transmitted or stored.
