How to use the PNG to JPG Converter
Choose a PNG up to 25 MB, pick a quality level and download the JPG. A quality of around 80 to 90 keeps photos looking sharp while cutting the file size a lot.
Why convert PNG to JPG
PNG is great for logos, screenshots and graphics, but photos saved as PNG can be very large. JPG compresses photos far more, which makes pages load faster, emails send quicker and uploads fit under size limits. For most photographs the difference is hard to see at a sensible quality setting.
What changes in the conversion
JPG does not support transparency, so transparent areas become white. JPG is also lossy, which means each save throws away a little detail. Keep your original PNG if you will edit the image again, and use the JPG copy for sharing. Text and sharp lines can show slight blur, so screenshots often look better as PNG.
PNG and JPG in short
PNG stands for Portable Network Graphic and uses lossless compression, so every pixel is kept exactly. JPG, named after the Joint Photographic Experts Group, uses lossy compression that throws away detail the eye barely notices. Both are raster images made of pixels. For photos and image files you share on social media or by email, JPG is usually several times smaller.
Examples
- Worked example
Choose a PNG and download a JPG at the same pixel size.
Limitations and assumptions
Transparent areas become white because JPG has no transparency. JPG compression is lossy.
