PNG to JPG Converter

Flatten heavy PNG files into compact JPG photos — typically a fraction of the size, and accepted by every device, printer and upload form in existence.

Why convert PNG to JPG?

PNG stores every pixel losslessly, which makes it wonderful for graphics and painful for photographs. A photo saved as PNG can easily be five times larger than the same image as a JPG with no visible benefit.

JPG is also the format that upload forms, print services, email clients and older software expect. If something is rejecting your PNG or a page is loading slowly because of it, converting to JPG is the fix.

Transparency: Important: JPG cannot store transparency. Any transparent areas in your PNG are flattened onto a white background during conversion. If you need to keep transparency, convert to WebP or AVIF instead.

What you get converting PNG to JPG

Dramatically smaller files

Photographs commonly drop to a fifth of their PNG size or less.

Accepted everywhere

Job portals, print shops, forums and legacy software all reliably take JPG.

Faster uploads and pages

Less data to send means quicker uploads on mobile and faster page rendering.

Balanced conversion

The converter uses a fixed, balanced JPG quality setting.

What to expect: For a photograph, expect a large reduction — often to a fifth of the PNG size or less. For flat graphics, logos and text-heavy screenshots the saving is smaller and edges may soften slightly.

PNG to JPG — frequently asked questions

They are filled with white, because JPG has no alpha channel. If transparency matters, convert to WebP or AVIF instead — both keep it and are still far smaller than PNG.

For photographs, often a fifth of the PNG size or less. For logos, charts and screenshots the saving is smaller and PNG may genuinely be the better choice.

JPG is lossy, so some data is discarded. Review fine text and sharp edges after conversion.

Usually not. JPG tends to produce halo artefacts around text and UI edges. PNG or WebP will look cleaner and often be smaller for that kind of content.

You can convert back, but the discarded detail does not return. Keep the original PNG if you may need it.

No, width and height are unchanged. Use the resizer if you also need different dimensions.
