The size difference between a PNG and a JPG of the same photograph is not marginal — it is routinely several times over. PNG stores every pixel exactly, which is the right approach for a logo with hard edges and the wrong one for a photograph full of subtle gradient. When a phone screenshot of a photo, or a picture exported as PNG by habit, turns out to weigh many megabytes, converting to JPG is usually the entire fix.
The cost is transparency, and this is the one thing to check before converting. JPEG has no alpha channel, so anything transparent in your PNG has to become something. Here it becomes white, which is the sensible default for documents and print — but it means a logo intended to sit on a coloured background arrives on a white rectangle. If transparency matters, Convert PNG to WebP keeps it and still shrinks the file substantially.
The other consideration is what your PNG actually contains. Photographic content converts beautifully to JPEG at 80 to 90 percent quality with no visible difference. Screenshots, diagrams, line art and anything with crisp text are the content JPEG handles worst — you get faint halos around lettering that no quality setting fully removes. For those, staying lossless or moving to WebP produces a better result than JPEG at any setting.
How to convert PNG to JPG
- 1
Add your PNG files
Drop one or a whole folder. Everything is decoded and re-encoded in your browser, so nothing is uploaded no matter how large the batch.
- 2
Choose JPEG as the output
Select it from the format options. If the PNG has a transparent background, be aware those areas will be filled with white — there is no way for JPEG to carry them.
- 3
Tune the quality against the preview
Start around 85 percent and watch the size readout. Photographs hold up well; if the image contains text, check the lettering closely before settling on a setting.

Download the smaller file
The saving over the original PNG is usually dramatic for photographic content, and modest for flat graphics — which is itself a useful signal about whether JPEG was the right choice.
Pro tip: Let the size difference tell you whether you picked the right format. Convert one representative file and compare: if the JPG is a small fraction of the PNG, your content is photographic and JPEG is the right destination. If it is only slightly smaller — or occasionally larger — your image is flat graphics or text, which PNG was already handling efficiently. In that case converting gains you almost nothing and costs you sharp edges, and staying with PNG or moving to WebP is the better call.
Troubleshooting: If your transparent background turned white, that is JPEG working as designed — it has no alpha channel. Convert to WebP or stay with PNG if the transparency is needed. If text looks haloed, JPEG compression is meeting hard edges; raise the quality or pick a different format, because this is a format mismatch rather than a settings problem. If the JPG is barely smaller than the PNG, the source was flat graphics and there was little for JPEG to gain.
For the reverse conversion into a PNG-only workflow, Convert JPG to PNG. To shrink a PNG while keeping transparency, Convert PNG to WebP or Compress PNG to 50KB if you would rather stay lossless. Working with web-format files instead, Convert WebP to JPG. Once you have a JPG, Compress JPG to 100KB meets upload limits, and the full Convert Image tool covers any other pair.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert PNG to JPG?
Add your PNG files above, choose JPEG as the output format, set a quality level, and download. The conversion runs in your browser, so a whole folder can be processed without anything being uploaded.
What happens to transparency when converting PNG to JPG?
It is filled with white, because JPEG has no alpha channel. That is the right result for documents and print, and the wrong one for a logo meant to sit on a coloured background. Convert to WebP instead if the transparency has to survive.
Why is my PNG so much bigger than the JPG?
Because PNG is lossless and stores every pixel exactly, while JPEG discards information the eye is unlikely to miss. For photographs, which have no large flat regions for PNG to compress, that difference is routinely several times over — which is exactly why this conversion is worth doing.
Should I convert screenshots from PNG to JPG?
Usually not. Screenshots are flat colour and small text, which is the content JPEG handles worst — you get visible artefacts around lettering. PNG is already efficient for that kind of image, so the size saving is small and the quality cost is visible. Keep screenshots as PNG.
Are my images uploaded when I convert them?
No. Everything happens inside your browser on your own device — nothing is uploaded, stored, or logged, and it works with your connection switched off.
