PNG to JPG Converter
Convert PNG images to smaller, web-ready JPG files directly in your browser. Adjust quality to balance file size against visual fidelity, and choose a background colour to replace any transparent areas. No file is ever uploaded to a server — your images stay private throughout.
How to Convert PNG to JPG
Drop your PNG file into the upload area or click to browse. Adjust the quality slider — 90% is a great default that keeps photos looking sharp while cutting file size significantly. If your PNG has a transparent background, pick a fill colour using the colour picker (white is the default). Click Convert to JPG, compare the side-by-side preview, then click Download JPG.
When Should You Convert PNG to JPG?
PNG files from screenshots or design exports are often several megabytes. Converting to JPG at 85–90% quality reduces the file size by 60–80% with no visible loss for photographs. This is ideal for speeding up websites, sending images by email, or reducing storage use. If you need to keep transparency, use our PNG to WebP Converter instead — WebP supports both small file sizes and transparency.
Choosing the Right Quality Setting
| Quality | File size | Visual quality | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 95–100% | Large | Near-lossless | Professional printing |
| 85–94% | Medium | Excellent | Web photos, social media |
| 70–84% | Small | Good | Thumbnails, previews |
| Below 70% | Very small | Noticeable artefacts | Low-bandwidth situations |

Frequently Asked Questions
Will converting PNG to JPG reduce quality?
JPG uses lossy compression so some fine detail is discarded. At 85–95% quality the difference is barely visible for photographs. For images with text, sharp edges or flat colours, quality loss is more noticeable — keep quality above 90% for those.
What happens to transparent areas when converting to JPG?
JPG cannot store transparency. Transparent pixels are filled with the background colour you select before converting. White is the default — change it with the colour picker if your image needs a different fill.
How much smaller will the JPG be?
For photographs, JPG files are typically 60–80% smaller than the equivalent PNG. The saving depends on image content and the quality setting. Click Convert and check the file-size readout in the preview panel.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. All processing happens in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your PNG never leaves your device and no account is needed.
