PNG to JPG

Why people convert PNG to JPG

PNG stores every pixel perfectly, which is wonderful for quality and terrible for file size. A screenshot saved as PNG can easily be five or ten times larger than the same image as a JPG. That matters when you are attaching it to an email, uploading it to a form with a size limit, or adding it to a website where every kilobyte slows the page down. Converting to JPG usually cuts the size dramatically with no difference the eye can spot.

What happens to transparency

This is the one thing to know before converting. PNG supports transparent backgrounds; JPG does not. When a transparent PNG becomes a JPG, those see-through areas have to become something, and the standard choice is white. If your image is a logo or cut-out that needs to sit on a coloured background, keep it as PNG or convert to WebP instead, which supports both transparency and small file sizes.

Choosing the right quality

• 90 to 100 percent: near-perfect quality, best for photos you may print.
• 75 to 90 percent: the sweet spot for web use and email attachments.
• Below 70 percent: much smaller files, but soft edges start to show.
• Converting the same image repeatedly loses a little quality each time, so always convert from the original PNG.

Free, online, and nothing uploaded

There is no signup, no watermark and no daily limit here. The conversion happens on a canvas inside your own browser, which means your PNG files never travel to a server. That makes it both faster than upload-based converters and genuinely private, whether you are converting a personal photo or a confidential screenshot.
