PNG to JPG

PNG to JPG converter

This tool converts a PNG image into a JPEG. PNG is lossless and supports transparency, which makes it perfect for logos and screenshots — but it also makes files large. JPEG is much smaller for photographic content and is accepted almost everywhere.

Why convert PNG to JPG?

• Much smaller files. For photos, JPG is often several times smaller than PNG.
• Universal support. JPEG opens in every browser, app, printer and upload form.
• Right tool for photos. Use JPG for photos and PNG for graphics with sharp edges or transparency.

Transparency: what happens

JPEG has no alpha channel, so any transparent area is flattened onto white. If you need to keep transparency, do not convert — keep the PNG, or convert to [WebP](/tool/png-to-webp), which supports both.

How to use

• Drop one or more `.png` files.
• Choose the quality (0.85–0.92 keeps photos looking clean).
• Download the JPGs; each row shows the size saved.

Good to know

• Text and sharp line art can show slight ringing in JPEG — keep quality high, or stay with PNG for screenshots of UI.
• Everything runs locally in your browser: no upload, no account, no watermark, up to 30 MB per file.

Frequently asked questions

• Will I lose transparency? Yes — transparent pixels become white.
• How much smaller will the file get? Often several times smaller for photos.
• Can I batch-convert? Yes.
• Is it free? Yes, no sign-up.

FAQ

What happens to transparency?

It is flattened onto white, because the JPEG format cannot store an alpha channel.

Can I keep the transparent background?

Then stay with PNG, or use WebP which supports transparency and is smaller than PNG.

Which quality value should I use?

0.90 for everyday use, 0.75–0.85 when file size matters, 1.0 only if you will re-edit the image later.
