PNG to JPG Converter – Make Images Smaller and More Compatible

How to convert PNG to JPG

  1. Add your PNG files — up to 20 at a time.
  2. Set the quality (90% is a good default).
  3. Choose the background colour for any transparent areas.
  4. Download the JPGs individually or as a ZIP.

Why convert PNG to JPG

  • Smaller files for email attachments, websites and upload limits.
  • Compatibility — some job portals, government forms and older apps accept only JPG.
  • Faster web pages — photos saved as PNG can be several megabytes; as JPG, a few hundred kilobytes.
  • Printing services and photo labs commonly ask for JPG.

Choosing quality

Need an exact size, such as under 100 KB for a form? Use the image compressor, which can hit a target size in KB.

Logos and transparent graphics

Logos with transparent backgrounds lose their transparency as JPG. If you need to place a logo on different backgrounds, keep the PNG. If you need a JPG for one specific background, choose that colour as the fill so the edges blend cleanly.

Screenshots

Screenshots on phones and computers are usually saved as PNG, which can make them large. Converting to JPG at 85–90% keeps them readable and makes them far easier to share in email and chat apps.

Batch converting screenshots and exports

Select up to 20 PNG files at once — for example a folder of screenshots or a set of exported slides — and convert them in one go. File names are kept, with the .jpg extension, and the ZIP download keeps everything together. The pixel dimensions don’t change, so text and details stay where they were.

Colour and quality

JPG stores colour slightly differently from PNG, so solid areas of bright colour, such as a red logo on white, can show faint speckles around sharp edges at lower quality settings. Keep the quality at 90% or above for graphics with sharp edges, or keep them as PNG. Photos and photo-like screenshots look identical even at 80%.

Converting on a phone

On phones, tap the upload area to pick screenshots or images from your gallery, convert them and save the JPGs. On iPhone they go to the Files app; on Android, to Downloads. Screenshots converted at 85% are usually a fraction of their original size, which makes them much quicker to send over mobile data.

Privacy

Images are decoded and re-encoded inside your browser; nothing is uploaded. For the reverse conversion, use JPG to PNG, and for WEBP files from websites, WEBP to JPG. To place images in a PDF, try JPG to PDF.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert PNG to JPG?

Add your PNG files. JPG is already selected, so each image is converted straight away. Adjust the quality if you like and download the results.

What happens to transparent backgrounds?

JPG can’t store transparency, so transparent areas are filled with a colour — white by default. Choose another colour if your design needs it.

Which quality should I choose?

90% looks identical to the original for almost all images and is much smaller than PNG. 75–85% is fine for websites and email. Lower values make smaller files but can show blocky artefacts.

How much smaller will the file be?

For photos and screenshots with lots of colours, often 70–90% smaller. For simple graphics with flat colours, the difference is smaller.

Will text in screenshots stay sharp?

At 90% or higher, text stays clear. For screenshots with fine text, keep the quality high or keep PNG.

Are my images uploaded?

No. Everything happens in your browser.
