What is a PNG to JPG?

PNG and JPG solve different problems. PNG is lossless and supports transparency, which makes it the right choice for screenshots, logos, and graphics with sharp edges or text. JPG uses lossy compression tuned for photographs, producing much smaller files for photo-like images at the cost of some quality and no transparency support.

Converting PNG to JPG is usually about file size — a photo saved as PNG is often several times larger than the same photo saved as JPG at a reasonable quality, with no visible difference for most purposes. It matters for JPG's missing transparency: any transparent area in the source PNG is filled with white before conversion, since JPG has no alpha channel to preserve it in.

How to use it

  1. Drop a PNG file onto the panel, or click to browse.
  2. Adjust the quality slider if you want a different size/quality trade-off — 85% is a reasonable default.
  3. The converted JPG preview appears automatically.
  4. Click Download JPG to save the result.

Frequently asked questions

What happens to transparent areas?
They are filled with white before the JPG is encoded, since JPG has no transparency channel. If you need to keep transparency, convert to WebP instead, which supports it.
Will I lose quality?
JPG uses lossy compression, so yes, technically — but at a reasonably high quality setting (80-90%) the loss is invisible to the eye for photographic images. Sharp-edged graphics like screenshots with text can show visible artefacts around the edges at lower quality settings; PNG or WebP handle that content better.
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion happens entirely in your browser using the HTML Canvas API. The file never leaves your device.
