PNG files can be large, and some upload forms only accept JPG. Convert your image here to get a smaller file that works everywhere.
How to use the PNG to JPG Converter
- Upload your PNG.
- Press JPG to convert it.
- Save the JPG to your device.
What to expect
Smaller files
JPG usually shrinks photos a lot, which helps with email and upload limits.
Transparency
JPG has no transparency, so see-through areas become white.
Accepted everywhere
Almost every website, form and device can open a JPG.
Why change a PNG to a JPG
PNG keeps every pixel exactly, which is great for graphics but makes photos and screenshots heavy. A JPG of the same picture is usually far smaller, so it uploads faster and fits within size limits on forms and email.
- A website or job portal only accepts JPG files.
- A photo saved as PNG is too large to attach to an email.
- You are sending a lot of screenshots and want to save space.
- An app or older device doesn't handle your PNG properly.
PNG and JPG compared
For a deeper comparison that also covers web formats, see JPG vs PNG vs WEBP.
| PNG | JPG | |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Lossless | Lossy |
| Transparency | Yes | No |
| Best for | Logos, icons and screenshots | Photos and busy images |
| File size for photos | Large | Small |
What happens to transparent backgrounds
JPG can't store transparency, so any see-through part of your PNG is filled with white. On a white page, that looks natural. If you need the transparency, keep the PNG, or use PNG to WEBP for a smaller file for the web.
How we convert your image
Images are saved at quality 95 with full color detail, which keeps them looking very close to the original. That is a higher setting than many tools use, so your file may be bigger than one made at a lower quality, but it avoids the blockiness that low-quality JPGs are known for. The image keeps its original width and height.

- Logos and icons with sharp edges and flat colors.
- Images with a transparent background.
- Screenshots with small text that needs to stay crisp.
- Files you are still editing, as JPG loses a little quality each time it is re-saved.
If your JPG doesn't look right
| What you see | Likely cause | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| A white background | JPG can't store transparency | Keep the PNG, or use WEBP on a website |
| Haze around text or logos | JPG compression affects sharp edges | Keep the PNG for that image |
| The file didn't get smaller | Simple graphics already compress well as PNG | Keep the PNG |
| An error when converting | A damaged or unusual file | Open and re-save the image, then try again |
When a form rejects your image
Application and government websites are often strict about image uploads. If your picture is rejected, read the requirements carefully. Usually, they mention a file type, a maximum file size and sometimes exact dimensions. Converting from PNG to JPG takes care of the file type, and usually brings the size down as well. Dimensions don't change here, so a required size such as 600 by 600 pixels needs to be set in a photo editor first.
Why photos are so large as PNGs
PNG compression works by finding repeated patterns, so it is great for flat areas of color. Photos have fine variations in almost every pixel, which leaves very little to compress. JPG was designed for that kind of image. That is why a screenshot of a document can be small as a PNG, while a phone photo in the same format can be many megabytes.
Frequently asked questions
How do I change a PNG to JPG?
Upload the PNG and press JPG. The new file downloads automatically.
Will I lose quality?
JPG is a lossy format, so there is a small loss, though it is rarely visible in photos.
What happens to a transparent background?
It is filled with white, as JPG can't store transparency.
Are my images kept?
Your files are only used for the conversion and are deleted from the server afterwards.
Does converting change the image size?
No. The width and height stay the same. Only the file size and format change.
Can I convert several PNGs at once?
Yes. Select several files and you get a ZIP containing the JPGs.
