About PNG

PNG is a lossless raster format with full alpha transparency. It stores every pixel exactly, which is perfect for screenshots, UI mockups, and logos — and overkill for photos, which end up several times larger than they need to be.

About JPG

JPG (JPEG) is the workhorse photo format of the web. It uses lossy DCT compression tuned for natural images, which means big file-size savings with a quality tradeoff you can dial in. It has no transparency, so any transparent pixels have to be flattened to a background color first.

Why convert PNG to JPG?

Convert PNG → JPG when the file is a photo or photo-like screenshot and file size matters — email attachments, web pages, CMS uploads with strict limits, or bulk archives. Keep PNG when you need transparency or pixel-perfect edits.

What people use it for

  • Shrink a bloated PNG photo before emailing or uploading it
  • Meet a CMS or forum size limit that rejects the original PNG
  • Batch-compress a folder of PNG exports for the web (Pro)
  • Convert PNG screenshots to JPG for lighter documentation
  • Prepare product photos for a marketplace that prefers JPG

How it works

  1. 1

    Drop a .png file

    Click the drop zone or drag any PNG file in. Files stay on your device.

  2. 2

    Adjust quality (optional)

    Drag the quality slider. 90%+ is visually indistinguishable from the source; lower values shrink the file further.

  3. 3

    Click Convert to JPG

    The conversion runs in your browser. When it's done, click Download.

Frequently asked questions

JPG is lossy, so yes — but at 90%+ quality the difference is invisible to the eye on photographic content. Line art, text, and hard edges suffer more; keep those as PNG.
