PNG to JPG Converter
Convert PNG images to JPG format to reduce file size
What is PNG to JPG Converter?
Converting PNG to JPG dramatically reduces file size — often by 70-90% — making images easier to share via email, upload to websites, or store on devices with limited space. PNG files are large because they use lossless compression and can contain transparency data, neither of which is needed for most photographs. JPG uses efficient lossy compression that achieves near-identical visual quality for photos at a fraction of the file size. This converter lets you control the compression quality to balance file size against visual fidelity.
How to Use
- 1Upload a PNG file by dragging it onto the drop zone or clicking to browse.
- 2Adjust the quality slider — higher means better quality but larger file size.
- 3Click "Convert to JPG" and download the result.
Why Use This Tool

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to transparency when I convert PNG to JPG?⌄
JPG does not support transparency. Any transparent or semi-transparent pixels in your PNG will be filled with a white background in the resulting JPG. If you need to preserve transparency, keep the image as PNG or convert to WebP instead, which supports both compression and transparency.
What quality percentage should I choose?⌄
For photographs displayed on websites, 80-85% quality produces excellent results with significant size reduction. For images with text or sharp edges, 90% or higher is recommended to avoid visible artifacts. Below 70%, JPEG compression artifacts become noticeable, especially around text and high-contrast edges.
How much smaller will the JPG file be compared to the PNG?⌄
For photographs, the JPG will typically be 70-90% smaller than the PNG at 80% quality. For images with large flat color areas or simple graphics, the reduction may be less dramatic. The exact ratio depends on the image content and quality setting you choose.
Is the quality loss from PNG to JPG conversion noticeable?⌄
For most photographs at 80% quality or higher, the quality loss is not perceptible to the human eye. However, for images with sharp edges, text, or few colors (like logos or screenshots), JPEG artifacts may be visible. These image types are better kept as PNG.
