Convert PNG images to smaller JPG files.

Your files never leave your device.

90%

90% keeps photos looking identical. Lower it for smaller files. Changes apply instantly.

When to use it

PNG to JPG converts PNG images into smaller JPG files. Use it when phone screenshots or exported photos are too large to email or upload, when a form or website only accepts JPG, when you’re filling a slideshow or document with images and want to keep its size down, or when a camera app or editor saved photos as PNG by default.

How to convert PNG to JPG

  1. Tap Choose images, or drag one or more PNG files onto the box.
  2. The images are converted straight away. Each shows its new size and how much smaller it is.
  3. Adjust Image quality if you want. 90% keeps photos looking identical; lower it for smaller files. Changes apply instantly.
  4. Press Download. Several images come together in one ZIP file.
  5. Press Start over to convert another set.

A worked example

You exported 12 product photos from a design app as PNG, about 6 MB each, and your online shop limits uploads to 2 MB. Drop all 12 onto the box. At 90% quality each becomes roughly 900 KB to 1.2 MB, about 80% smaller, with no visible difference. Download the ZIP and upload the JPGs. If you also needed exact dimensions, you could run them through Resize Image afterwards.

When to keep PNG instead

  • Logos and icons with transparent backgrounds.
  • Screenshots of text or user interfaces, where sharp edges matter.
  • Diagrams and charts with flat colours.
  • Images you’ll keep editing, where JPG would add a little loss each time you save.

Tips

  • Convert photos, not graphics. JPG is designed for photographs.
  • Use 80% quality for the web; most people can’t tell it from 90%.
  • Check transparent images after converting; transparent areas become white.
  • Keep the PNG originals if you might need them for editing later.

Common mistakes

  • Converting a logo with a transparent background and getting an unexpected white box around it.
  • Repeatedly opening and re-saving the JPG, which slowly lowers quality.
  • Choosing very low quality to save space; resize the image instead.
  • Renaming .png to .jpg rather than converting.

Private by design

Images are converted in your browser and never uploaded.

Go the other way with JPG to PNG, reach an exact size with Compress Image to KB, or convert iPhone photos with HEIC to JPG.

Frequently asked questions

What happens to transparent parts of a PNG?

JPG can't store transparency, so transparent areas become white. If you need another background colour, add it first with the Background Remover's colour option, or keep the PNG.

How much smaller will the JPG be?

For photos saved as PNG, often 70 to 90% smaller. For screenshots and simple graphics, the saving is smaller, and text may look slightly soft.

Which quality should I choose?

90% (the default) looks identical to the original for photos. 75 to 80% is plenty for email and websites. Go lower only for thumbnails.

Should I convert screenshots to JPG?

Only if file size matters more than crispness. JPG can add faint blotches around text and sharp lines. PNG or WebP are usually better for screenshots.

Are my images uploaded?

No. The conversion happens in your browser.
