You want a smaller file, are publishing to the web (use WebP/AVIF), or sending via email with a size cap. You need maximum compatibility, small file size, and don't mind minor quality loss.

What is PNG?

A lossless-compressed image format created in 1996 as a free alternative to GIF. Supports per-pixel transparency through an alpha channel, keeps exact quality, and is the standard for graphics, icons, screenshots, and any image with text or flat color areas.

  • Images with transparency (logos, icons)
  • Screenshots and screen captures
  • Graphics, diagrams, infographics with text
  • Material that will be edited multiple times (quality preserved)

Why convert to JPG

A lossy-compressed image format created by the Joint Photographic Experts Group in 1992. It's the most universal photo format — every browser, app, and OS opens JPG without anything extra.

  • Photos with lots of detail and color variation
  • Images sent over email or social media
  • Cases where file size matters more than absolute quality
  • Mid-quality print material

Step-by-step: convert your image

1. Upload the file

Drag your PNG file into the upload area, or click to select it from your computer. You can upload several files at once — they'll be converted in batch.

2. Check the quality setting

JPG has adjustable quality in most cases. Leave it at 85-90% for the best size/quality balance. For professional material, bump it to 95-100%.

3. Click convert and download

Processing is near-instant (seconds per image) because it happens right in your browser. When it's done, download each file individually or all together as a ZIP.

PNG vs JPG: technical comparison

Before converting, it's worth understanding what each format brings to the table:

PNG — best for:

  • Images with transparency (logos, icons)
  • Screenshots and screen captures
  • Graphics, diagrams, infographics with text
  • Material that will be edited multiple times (quality preserved)

PNG — limitations:

  • Files significantly larger than JPG or WebP
  • Not ideal for photos (less efficient compression)
  • No animation support (use APNG or GIF)

JPG — best for:

  • Photos with lots of detail and color variation
  • Images sent over email or social media
  • Cases where file size matters more than absolute quality
  • Mid-quality print material

JPG — limitations:

  • No transparency (background is always opaque)
  • Repeated compression degrades quality (visible artifacts)
  • Not ideal for graphics with text, fine lines, or flat color areas

When converting from PNG to JPG makes sense

Typical scenarios where this conversion solves a real problem:

  • Images with transparency (logos, icons)
  • Screenshots and screen captures
  • Photos with lots of detail and color variation
  • Images sent over email or social media

Frequently asked questions

Quality depends on both formats. For conversions between modern formats with similar quality (PNG → WebP, for example), the visual loss is imperceptible. For conversions to lossy formats (anything → JPG), quality depends on the level you pick — 85-90% is practically indistinguishable from the original.
