How to Convert PNG to JPG

Upload a PNG file and the tool instantly converts it to JPG format. Adjust the quality slider to balance file size and visual quality. If your PNG has transparent areas, choose a background colour (white by default) to fill them, since JPG does not support transparency.

PNG files are often 3 to 10 times larger than the equivalent JPG because PNG uses lossless compression while JPG uses lossy compression. Converting a 5 MB PNG to JPG at 90% quality typically produces a file under 500 KB with no visible quality difference.

When to Convert PNG to JPG

Convert to JPG when file size matters more than pixel-perfect quality. This includes uploading photos to websites, sending images by email, posting on social media, and storing large photo libraries. JPG is the standard format for photographs.

Keep your image as PNG when you need transparency (logos, icons, overlays), pixel-perfect sharpness (screenshots, diagrams, text-heavy images), or when the image will be edited further. PNG preserves every pixel exactly, while JPG introduces subtle compression artefacts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to transparent areas when converting PNG to JPG?

JPG does not support transparency. Any transparent pixels in your PNG are filled with a solid background colour. The default is white, but you can choose any colour using the colour picker. Black is a common choice for dark-themed graphics.

What quality setting should I use?

92% is a good default for most uses. It produces a file roughly 80% smaller than the PNG with imperceptible quality loss. For web use where size matters most, 80-85% is excellent. Below 70%, compression artefacts become visible on close inspection.
