Convert PNG to JPG
Reduce file size by converting PNG images to JPG. Fast, private, and free.
Why Convert PNG to JPG
PNG files can be very large because they use lossless compression. When you do not need transparency and want to reduce the file size significantly, converting to JPG is the fastest solution.
JPG files are typically 5 to 10 times smaller than their PNG equivalents for photographic content. This makes them ideal for sharing via email, uploading to social media, or embedding in websites where loading speed matters.
The conversion runs entirely in your browser with an adjustable quality slider. You can preview the file size reduction before downloading, making it easy to find the perfect balance between quality and file weight.
When JPG is the Better Choice
Photographs and images with many colors compress extremely well as JPG. The lossy compression is nearly invisible in photos at quality levels above 80%, while the file size savings are dramatic.
Social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter re-compress uploads regardless of the original format. Uploading a smaller JPG instead of a large PNG means faster uploads with no visible difference in the final post.
Email attachments have size limits. Converting PNG screenshots or photos to JPG before attaching them ensures your emails go through without bouncing back or being delayed by large attachment sizes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to the transparent areas when converting PNG to JPG?
JPG does not support transparency. Transparent areas in your PNG will be filled with a solid white background in the resulting JPG file.
How much smaller will the JPG file be?
For photographic content, JPG files are typically 5 to 10 times smaller than PNG at quality 85%. For screenshots and graphics, the savings are usually 3 to 5 times. Use the quality slider to find your preferred trade-off.
Will I lose quality converting PNG to JPG?
JPG uses lossy compression, so some detail is discarded. At quality levels above 85%, the loss is virtually invisible to the human eye for photographs. For text and sharp graphics, some softening may be visible.
Is my image uploaded to any server?
No. The conversion happens entirely in your browser. Your PNG file stays on your device throughout the process. Nothing is sent over the internet.
What quality setting should I use?
For photographs, 85% gives an excellent balance of quality and file size. For images with text, try 90% or higher. The preview lets you compare before committing.
Can I convert the JPG back to PNG later?
You can convert it back, but the quality lost during JPG compression cannot be recovered. Always keep your original PNG if you may need the full quality later.
