PNG to JPG Converter

Compress a PNG screenshot or graphic into a much smaller JPG that loads faster on the web and fits more comfortably in emails and uploads. JPG has no transparency, so transparent areas take whatever colour the file stores under them, often black — use WEBP or PNG itself if you need to keep transparency.

Converting PNG to JPG in practice

PNG to JPG is almost always about size. A flat UI screenshot or exported graphic that weighs several megabytes as a 24-bit PNG often drops to a few hundred kilobytes as a JPG — the difference between a page that loads instantly and one that stalls on mobile. The trade-off is transparency: any see-through pixels are flattened onto a solid background, white by default.

Reach for this when the image is headed somewhere that rewards small files — an email attachment, a marketplace listing, a CMS with an upload cap, or a blog post you want to score well on Core Web Vitals. Keep the original PNG if the artwork has crisp edges or text you may need to re-export later.

When to convert PNG to JPG

  • Shrink screenshot PNGs before emailing or uploading
  • Convert design exports to a web-friendlier format
  • Reduce blog post image weight for faster page loads

About the PNG and JPG formats

PNG

PNG is a lossless image format with full alpha transparency. It is the default for screenshots, logos, UI mockups, and anything with sharp edges or text. PNG files are much larger than JPG for the same photo content — use PNG for graphics and transparent overlays, JPG for photographs.

JPG

JPG (or JPEG) is the universal photo format. It uses lossy compression tuned for natural images, giving you small files that look great on screens, social media, and prints. JPG has no transparency layer and progressively loses quality on each re-save, so keep an original archive if you plan to edit further.

How it works

How to convert PNG to JPG

  1. Upload or paste a PNG link

    Drop a PNG file from your device, or paste a public URL pointing to the PNG you want to convert.

  2. Confirm JPG as the output format

    The output is pre-set to JPG.

  3. Start the conversion

    Click Convert. Our cloud workers fetch the PNG, scan it for malware (video and audio over 1 GB are not scanned), and run the PNG → JPG pipeline.

  4. Download your JPG file

    A download link appears as soon as the JPG is ready; it works for anyone who has it until the file is deleted. The file is deleted from our storage two hours after it was made (longer for very large files or with a pass), normally within the next 15 minutes.

PNG to JPG — Frequently asked questions

A small amount of quality is sacrificed because JPG is lossy. For photographs the difference is invisible; for sharp text or pixel art you may notice slight haloing — stick with PNG or WEBP for those.
