How to convert an image
- Add your image PNG, JPG, and WebP can all be converted in the browser.
- Choose the output format Pick JPG, PNG, or WebP and adjust quality if needed.
- Download the converted file Single files download directly; batches are available as a ZIP.
What happens to transparent areas?
JPG does not support transparency. When a PNG has a transparent background, the converter fills those pixels with white before encoding the JPG. That is the right result for most forms, documents, and white web pages, but it can look wrong on a dark background.
If you need to keep transparency, choose PNG or WebP output instead. If you need a JPG for a specific upload system, white is the safest background because it matches most document viewers.
Why the JPG is usually smaller
JPG uses lossy compression designed for photographs. PNG stores pixel data losslessly, which is why a detailed PNG can be several times larger. Converting to JPG at a sensible quality can bring a 4MB PNG down to a few hundred kilobytes.
The trade-off is detail: text, line art, and sharp logos may show slight artifacts. For a photo or a screenshot that will be viewed at normal size, the difference is often hard to see.
A good PNG-to-JPG workflow
- Start with the highest-quality PNG you have.
- Choose a quality around 85–92 for a balance of size and clarity.
- Check the result on the background where it will be used.
- Keep the original PNG if you may need transparency later.
Frequently asked questions
Will my transparent PNG get a black background?
No. Transparent pixels are flattened onto white. If you need a different background color, add it in an image editor before converting.
Does PNG to JPG reduce quality?
Yes, JPG is lossy. The tool lets you choose the quality level so you can decide how much detail to trade for a smaller file.
Can I convert multiple PNG files to JPG?
Yes. Add a batch of PNGs, keep JPG as the output format, and download the converted files as a ZIP.
Why is the JPG larger than expected?
The source dimensions may be very large, or the quality setting may be high. Reduce the dimensions first or lower the quality to get a smaller JPG.
