Convert PNG to JPG
PNG is the wrong container for a photograph, and a lot of photographs end up in one anyway — screenshots of images, exports from design tools, saved web graphics.
How to convert PNG to JPG
Drop your PNG files onto the panel above and press Convert. A whole folder at once is fine, and the JPG files download individually or as a single ZIP.
Quality is the one setting worth a glance, and 85 or above is visually indistinguishable from the original for photographs. Conversion here runs at maximum quality by default, so you only need to touch it if a smaller file matters more than fidelity — and if it does, compressing afterwards gives you finer control.
Nothing is uploaded. The decoders and encoders run as WebAssembly inside this page, which is why there is no file-size limit, no queue, and no copy of your image on anyone's server.
Why convert PNG to JPG?
PNG is the wrong container for a photograph, and a lot of photographs end up in one anyway — screenshots of images, exports from design tools, saved web graphics.
Converting to JPG typically removes 80% or more of the file size with no visible change.
| PNG | JPG | |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Lossless | Lossy |
| Transparency | Yes, full alpha channel | No |
| Animation | No (APNG exists but is rarely used) | No |
| Support | Universal | Universal — every browser, OS, app, and print service |
| Best for | Logos, icons, screenshots, diagrams, anything needing transparency | Photographs, and anything that has to open everywhere |
What JPG does to file size
This is usually the biggest single saving available: a 6 MB photographic PNG commonly lands between 300 and 800 KB as a quality-85 JPG.
Transparency is flattened, because JPG has no alpha channel. Text, screenshots, and flat graphics can also show ringing artefacts around hard edges — keep those as PNG.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert PNG to JPG?
Drop your PNG files above, choose JPG as the output, and press Convert. The files are decoded and re-encoded at maximum quality inside your browser, then download individually or as a ZIP — no upload, no account, no watermark.
Does converting PNG to JPG lose quality?
JPG is a lossy format, so the image is re-encoded — at maximum quality, where the difference is imperceptible for photographs. Transparency is flattened, because JPG has no alpha channel. Text, screenshots, and flat graphics can also show ringing artefacts around hard edges — keep those as PNG.
Can I just rename the file to .jpg?
No. The extension only labels the file, while the bytes inside follow the structure of a specific format. Renaming produces a file most software refuses to open. A real conversion decodes the image and re-encodes it in the new format, which is what happens here.
