How to convert PNG to JPEG
- Optional: sign in with Google to convert up to 10 PNG images per day and get them as a single ZIP of JPGs.
- Drop your PNG file into the upload box or click to browse. Maximum size is 50 MB.
- Click Convert. We re-encode the PNG as JPG at quality 90 — visually indistinguishable for most images.
- Download the JPG. It typically weighs 50-80% less than the PNG, while looking the same to the eye.
Why convert PNG to JPEG
PNG and JPG are both image formats, but they are built for opposite jobs. PNG is lossless and supports transparency — perfect for logos, icons, and screenshots. JPG uses lossy compression and is much smaller — perfect for photographs, scanned documents, and anything you want to email or upload at speed.
Most people convert PNG to JPG to reduce file size. A 5 MB PNG of a photograph often becomes a 400 KB JPG with no visible quality loss. That makes a real difference for email attachments, image-heavy websites, and storage.
Heads up: JPG does not support transparency. If your PNG has a transparent background, the JPG output will have a white (or chosen) background instead. For logos, icons, and graphics with transparency, stay with PNG.
Convert PNG to JPG for photographs and detailed images. Keep PNG for logos, icons, screenshots, charts, and anything with sharp edges or transparency.
Common use cases
- Shrink a photograph stored as PNG into a much smaller JPG for email or upload.
- Optimize a heavy PNG image on a website by switching to a JPG for faster page loads.
- Prepare a profile picture or banner image for a platform that prefers JPG.
- Convert a phone screenshot of a photo into a JPG for sharing on social media.
- Send a high-res photograph to a printer that handles JPG more reliably than PNG.
Tips for best results
- If the PNG has transparency, the output JPG will get a white background — the transparency is lost. Keep PNG for transparent assets.
- We export at JPG quality 90, which is visually indistinguishable from the PNG original for photos.
- PNG-to-JPG conversion makes sense for photographs. For logos, screenshots, and charts, keep PNG — JPG compression introduces visible artifacts around sharp edges.
- File-size savings vary. A photo can shrink 50-80%; a logo or screenshot may not shrink at all and may even get worse-looking.
- Conversion is one-way. We never modify the original PNG — download the JPG separately if you want both.
About PNG
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) was created in 1996 as a free, patent-unencumbered alternative to GIF. It uses lossless compression — meaning every pixel is preserved exactly — and supports transparency, including smooth alpha blending. PNG is the default choice for logos, icons, screenshots, charts, and any graphic where sharp edges or transparency matter. The trade-off is file size: PNGs of photographs can be 5-10x larger than JPGs.
About JPG
JPG (JPEG) is the most widely used image format on the planet. It was created in 1992 by the Joint Photographic Experts Group and uses lossy compression that discards small visual details the eye does not notice. The result is dramatically smaller files for photographs, making JPG ideal for email, web, social media, and cameras. JPG does not support transparency, and re-saving repeatedly causes quality to degrade — but for a single conversion of a finished image, those caveats rarely matter.

Privacy and safety
Your PNG is uploaded over HTTPS, processed in an isolated job, and deleted from our servers within one hour — along with the JPG. We never train models on your images, never share them, and never require an account. Sign in with Google only if you want higher limits.
Frequently asked questions
Will I lose quality?+
JPG is lossy compression, but at quality 90 (our default) the difference is invisible for photographs. For logos, icons, and screenshots with sharp edges, you may see compression artifacts — keep those as PNG.
Will transparency be preserved?+
No. JPG does not support transparency. Any transparent areas in your PNG will become white in the JPG output. If you need transparency, keep PNG.
How much smaller will the JPG be?+
For a photograph, typically 50-80% smaller. For a logo or screenshot, file size may not change much (or may even grow if the PNG was small).
Is the PNG to JPG converter free?+
Yes. 5 conversions per day as a guest, 10 per day signed in with Google. No credit card.
Is it safe to upload my PNG?+
Yes. Files are uploaded over HTTPS and deleted from our servers within one hour. We never train models on your images.
Does it work on Mac, Windows, iPhone, and Android?+
Yes. The converter runs in any modern browser, and the JPG output is universally supported.
Can I convert several PNGs at once?+
Yes. Sign in with Google to convert up to 10 PNG files per day and get a single ZIP of JPGs.
Should I convert all my PNG screenshots to JPG?+
No — for screenshots with text and sharp edges, JPG compression causes visible artifacts and the file-size win is small. Keep screenshots as PNG. Convert PNG to JPG mainly for photographs.
