PNG to JPG
Turn PNG images into smaller JPG files, choosing what color fills any transparent area.
Quick answer: Add your PNG files, leave the output format on JPG, pick a background color if the image has transparency, then convert and download.

How to use PNG to JPG
- Add the PNG filesChoose one image or a whole batch. The files are read in this browser tab and are not uploaded.
- Confirm JPG and pick a backgroundThe output format is already set to JPG. If your PNG has transparent areas, choose the color that should replace them; white suits most documents.
- Set quality and sizeThe default quality of 90 percent is a good balance. Use the maximum width or height box to shrink large images at the same time.
- Check and downloadOpen one converted file at full size before converting the rest, then download the files separately or all together as a ZIP.
About this tool
PNG is excellent for screenshots and graphics, but it is a heavy format for photographs. A photo saved as PNG can be several times larger than the same photo as JPG, which is why uploads fail, emails bounce and pages load slowly. This page converts PNG to JPG in your browser, so you can fix the size problem without sending the images anywhere.
Practical example: Add a 4 MB PNG photo, set the maximum width to 2000 pixels, keep quality at 90 percent and convert; the JPG is typically well under 1 MB.
Important limitation: Transparency is lost and fine text can soften. Metadata such as camera details is not copied to the new file.
Conversion happens on a canvas in your browser tab. The images are never uploaded. Read the privacy information.
How it works
Each PNG is decoded by your browser, drawn onto a canvas with your chosen background behind it, and encoded as a JPG at the quality you set.
Real-world uses
- Shrinking photos saved as PNG so they fit an upload limit
- Preparing images for email or a form that only accepts JPG
- Flattening a transparent image onto a solid background
When converting PNG to JPG helps, and when it does not
Convert photographs, scans and any image with smooth tones and many colors. JPG was designed for exactly that content, and the size saving is usually large. A typical phone photo exported as PNG can drop to a fraction of its size with no difference you can see at normal viewing size.
Think twice for screenshots, diagrams, logos and anything with sharp text. JPG is lossy, so it adds faint blurring and noise around edges, and small text can look smudged. For those images, keep the PNG, or reduce its pixel dimensions instead. If a file must be smaller, try WebP, which handles flat graphics better than JPG.
Transparency is the main thing that changes. JPG has no transparent areas, so every transparent pixel must become a color. The tool lets you choose it. Match the color to where the image will be used: white for a document, the page color for a website, black for a dark presentation. If you need the transparency preserved, convert to WebP instead of JPG, or keep the PNG.
Convert from the original PNG, not a copy that has already been through another lossy step, and keep the PNG afterwards. A JPG cannot be turned back into the original, and each additional JPG save loses a little more detail.
Tips for better results
- Choose the background color before converting, not afterwards.
- Resize at the same time with the maximum size box instead of running a second tool.
- Keep the original PNG if you may edit the image again.
Frequently asked questions
Will I lose quality converting PNG to JPG?
A little, because JPG is lossy. At 90 percent quality the difference is normally invisible for photographs, but fine text and sharp edges can soften. Try one file first and compare at full size.
What happens to the transparent parts of my PNG?
They are filled with the background color you choose, white by default. JPG cannot store transparency.
Can I convert many PNG files at once?
Yes. Add them all, convert, and download the results one by one or as a single ZIP.
Will the JPG be smaller than the PNG?
For photographs, almost always, often by a large factor. For flat graphics the saving is smaller, and sometimes the JPG is no smaller at all. The result list shows the size change for every file.
