How to convert PNG to JPG
Add one or more PNG files, pick a quality level if the option is shown, and press Convert. Each image is decoded, redrawn on a canvas and saved again in the JPG format. Converting several files at once is supported, and the results can be downloaded together as a ZIP archive.
PNG and JPG compared
PNG stores images without losing a single pixel and supports a full alpha channel, so transparent areas stay transparent. It works best for logos, icons, screenshots, line art and images that need transparency, and is a weaker choice for large photographs, where the file size grows quickly.
JPG (also written JPEG) is the oldest widely supported photo format. It uses lossy compression, which keeps photographs small but discards some detail every time the file is saved. It is the better fit for photographs, scanned pictures and any image with soft gradients, while it is less suitable for flat graphics, screenshots with text and anything that needs a transparent background.
Transparency becomes white
PNG can store transparent pixels and JPG cannot. Transparent areas are therefore filled with white during conversion. If you need to keep transparency, convert to PNG or WebP instead.
Choosing a quality level
JPG is a lossy format, so the quality slider decides the trade-off between file size and detail. Around 80–90 is a sensible range for photographs: the difference is hard to see, while the file is far smaller than at 100. Flat graphics with sharp edges usually need a higher setting, because lossy compression tends to blur hard edges.
What to check after converting
- Open the result at full size and look at edges, text and flat colour areas first — that is where compression artefacts appear.
- Compare the file size against the original. If a JPG file is larger than the PNG source, lower the quality slider or reconsider the format.
- Check that the image dimensions are unchanged. Conversion never resizes an image; use the resizer tools for that.
Format support in browsers
Saving files relies on the image encoders built into your browser. PNG, JPG and WebP are available almost everywhere. AVIF encoding is only present in some recent browsers, and the tool will tell you clearly when the format you picked cannot be written on the device you are using, rather than producing a broken file.
