Convert PNG to JPG
Turn a PNG image into a JPG right in your browser. JPG usually produces much lighter files, ideal for emailing, attaching to forms or uploading to sites with a size limit. The conversion happens on your device — the file is never sent to a server.

How to convert PNG to JPG in 3 steps
Add the PNG
Drag the image onto the upload area or click to pick it. The file is read only in your device's memory.
Convert
Click process. The image is redrawn as a JPG, with a white background in place of transparent areas.
Download the JPG
Download the converted image. No copy is kept anywhere.
The PNG that got too heavy
PNG is great for graphics, screenshots and images with transparency, but it tends to produce large files — especially for photos. JPG uses compression designed for photographic images, so the same content usually takes up far less space.
That matters in practice: email attachments that fit the limit, faster uploads and forms that accept the file without complaining about size. On top of that, JPG is universal — any device, site or program opens it without trouble.
What happens to transparency
JPG doesn't support transparency. When your PNG has transparent areas, they need to become a solid color during conversion. Here, those areas are filled with white, which is the safest, most neutral choice for most cases.
If you need to keep transparency, JPG isn't the right format — in that case, stick with PNG or convert to WEBP. But for photos and images without a transparent background, JPG offers the best balance between quality and weight.
It depends what is in the image
PNG and JPG were built for opposite kinds of content, and the result changes accordingly. JPG compresses by discarding detail where the human eye notices least — which works beautifully on photographs, full of smooth variation.
On images with hard edges — screenshots, logos, charts, text — that discarding shows up exactly at the colour transition, creating a grey speckle around letters. For that kind of content PNG exists for a reason, and converting makes it worse.
The real saving in space
When the image is a photograph saved as PNG, this is one of the most rewarding conversions there is: an 8 MB file commonly becomes 800 KB with no perceptible difference. Photos should rarely be in PNG.
Remember transparency does not survive — JPG has no alpha channel, so transparent areas turn white. Everything happens inside the browser, with no upload.
Use cases
- Reduce an image's weight to send it by email
- Fit a photo within a form's size limit
- Speed up image loading on a website
- Ensure compatibility with any program or device
- Turn a heavy screenshot into a light file
Frequently asked questions
What happens to transparent areas?
Since JPG has no transparency, the transparent areas of the PNG are filled with white.
Does the image lose quality?
JPG uses lossy compression, but the conversion is done at high quality (92%), imperceptible for most uses. In exchange, the file gets much lighter.
Is the JPG smaller than the PNG?
In most cases, yes — especially for photos. That's exactly why people convert PNG to JPG.
General questions about the site
- Is it free?
