PNG to JPG Converter

About PNG to JPG

Turns a PNG into a JPG that is much lighter to store and send. PNG keeps every pixel exactly and supports transparency, while JPG discards fine detail to shrink photos and gradients, so this is the tool for cutting file size when you no longer need a pixel-perfect original or an alpha channel.

How to use it

1. Drop a PNG file onto the box or use it to browse; a preview of the source appears below.
2. Move the Quality slider, which runs from 10 to 100 and starts at 85. Left is Smaller file, right is Better quality.
3. Press Convert to JPG and wait a moment while the image is redrawn and re-encoded.
4. Check the Output preview, then use Download JPG to save it or the copy button to grab the data URL.

Logo with a transparent background

A PNG logo whose background is fully transparent, quality left at 85.

A JPG of the same pixel dimensions where every transparent pixel has become solid white (#FFFFFF), because JPG has no alpha channel.

When to use it

• Shrinking a PNG screenshot of a photo before attaching it to an email with a size limit.
• Meeting an upload form that accepts only JPG or JPEG files.
• Flattening a transparent product cutout onto white for a marketplace listing.
• Making a lighter hero image when page weight matters more than exact edges.

Questions about PNG to JPG

What happens to transparent areas?

The canvas is filled with white before your PNG is drawn on top, so transparent and semi-transparent pixels blend into white. If you need another background color, place the PNG on that color in an editor first.

Which quality setting should I pick?

The default of 85 is a sensible balance for photographs. Drop toward 60 for thumbnails, or go above 92 only when you plan to edit the result again, since file size climbs quickly at the top of the scale.

Why did my file get bigger instead of smaller?

Flat graphics, screenshots of text, and tiny icons compress very well as PNG, and JPG can be larger for them while also showing ringing around sharp edges. JPG only wins on photographic content.

Is metadata carried over?

No. The image is decoded and redrawn on a fresh canvas, so text chunks, color profiles and any embedded metadata in the PNG are not written to the new JPG.
