What is a PNG to JPG converter?

A PNG to JPG converter transforms PNG images into JPEG format. PNG files are lossless and often large, while JPG uses compression to create smaller files better suited for photos and web sharing. This conversion significantly reduces file size—often by 70–90%—making images easier to upload, email, and store. The tool processes images entirely in your browser.

How to use the PNG to JPG converter

  1. Upload your PNG file: Drag and drop or click to select a PNG image from your device. Files up to 10MB are supported.
  2. Adjust quality settings: Use the quality slider to control the compression level. Higher values preserve more detail but result in larger files.
  3. Download your JPG: Click the download button to save the converted image instantly to your device.

Why use this PNG to JPG tool?

  • Dramatically smaller files: JPG compression can reduce file sizes by 70–90% compared to PNG.
  • Universal compatibility: JPG is supported everywhere—every device, browser, app, and platform accepts it.
  • Better for photos: JPG's compression algorithm is optimized for photographs and complex images.

Common errors

Transparency became white

JPG doesn't support transparency. Transparent areas in your PNG will become white (or another solid color) in the JPG output. Use PNG to WebP if you need to keep transparency.

Image looks blocky

This happens with very low quality settings. Increase the quality slider to 75–85 for a better balance of size and quality.

Text looks fuzzy

JPG compression can blur sharp text and edges. For images with text, use a higher quality setting (85–95) or keep the PNG format.

Tips and proven approaches

  • Quality 80–85 works well for most images; photos can often go lower without visible loss.
  • Keep original PNG files if you might need to edit them again later.
  • For images with lots of text or sharp graphics, stay at 90+ quality or keep PNG.
  • If you need both small files and transparency, use PNG to WebP instead.
