About PNG to JPG
Convert PNG to JPG
Convert PNG images to JPG to make them smaller and accepted by forms and apps that only take JPG. Small files are converted in your browser; larger ones on our servers. Transparent areas become white.
What to know about PNG to JPG
The formats involved, when to use this conversion, and where it runs.
About PNG
PNG is a lossless raster format that supports full transparency. It suits screenshots, logos and graphics with sharp edges, but photographs make large PNG files.
About JPG
JPG (JPEG) is a lossy photo format that discards fine detail to keep files small. It has no transparency and no animation.
Best for
Shrinking screenshots and photos saved as PNG before emailing or uploading them, or meeting a "JPG only" upload requirement.
Where it runs
Small files are converted in your browser and never uploaded. Larger files are converted on our servers and deleted afterwards.
Works everywhere
Desktop, tablet, or mobile—use the same workflow on any device.
Free to use
Start converting for free with no account. Paid plans raise limits; see the Pricing page.
How PNG to JPG works
What happens to your file from upload to download.
1
Upload your PNG file
The file type and size are checked before anything is processed, so unsupported files are rejected straight away.
2
Convert in your browser or on our servers
Small files are converted to JPG on your device. Larger files are uploaded over HTTPS and converted with our image processing service.
3
Download the JPG file
Save the result to your device. Copies on our servers are deleted automatically by a cleanup job.

Good to know: PNG to JPG
Differences between the two formats that affect the result.
01
Every JPG save is lossy, so choose a high quality setting for photos you plan to edit again. Transparent areas are filled with white.
02
JPG cannot store transparency, so transparent areas in the PNG are filled with a solid background. If you need to keep a see-through background, choose PNG or WebP instead.
03
JPG compression is lossy, so expect a smaller file and a small loss of fine detail. Avoid repeatedly re-saving the same image.
04
Conversions done in your browser drop embedded metadata such as camera details and GPS location. Files converted on our servers keep it, so remove location data first if that matters to you.
What changes when PNG becomes JPG
JPG trades a little detail for much smaller files.
01
Transparent and semi-transparent areas are filled with white, because JPG has no transparency.
02
Browser conversions use quality 92 out of 100; server conversions use quality 90. Photos usually shrink a lot, while screenshots with sharp text can show slight blurring around letters.
03
For logos and screenshots that must stay crisp, keep PNG or use WebP instead.

What to expect
You download a new JPG file; your PNG file is not changed. Small files never leave your device.
Private by design
Files up to about 50 MB on desktop (20 MB on mobile) are converted inside your browser, so the image is not uploaded. Larger files, low-powered devices, or a browser that cannot produce the format are handled on our servers instead: the file is uploaded over HTTPS and deleted afterwards by an automated cleanup job. See the Privacy Policy for details.

FAQs for PNG to JPG
Common answers so you can keep moving.
Why did my transparent PNG get a white background?
JPG cannot store transparency, so transparent pixels have to be filled with a colour; white is used. Convert to WebP if you need a smaller file that keeps transparency.
What is the difference between PNG and JPG?
PNG is a lossless raster format that supports full transparency. It suits screenshots, logos and graphics with sharp edges, but photographs make large PNG files. JPG (JPEG) is a lossy photo format that discards fine detail to keep files small. It has no transparency and no animation.
Will converting PNG to JPG change quality?
Every JPG save is lossy, so choose a high quality setting for photos you plan to edit again. Transparent areas are filled with white.
Is my PNG file uploaded to a server?
Files up to about 50 MB on desktop (20 MB on mobile) are converted inside your browser, so the image is not uploaded. Larger files, low-powered devices, or a browser that cannot produce the format are handled on our servers instead: the file is uploaded over HTTPS and deleted afterwards by an automated cleanup job. See the Privacy Policy for details.
What happens to transparent areas?
JPG has no transparency, so transparent pixels are filled with white. Use PNG or WebP to keep transparency.
Can I control the output quality?
Where a quality control is shown on the page you can lower it for smaller files or raise it for better detail. Browser conversions default to quality 92 out of 100; server conversions use 90 for JPG and 80 for WebP.
My PNG file will not convert
Make sure the file really is PNG (renaming an extension does not change the format) and that it opens correctly on your device. Password-protected, DRM-protected or corrupted files are rejected. If the file is very large, try again with a smaller one.
The output does not look right
Every JPG save is lossy, so choose a high quality setting for photos you plan to edit again. Transparent areas are filled with white.
The conversion switched to server processing
Files above the in-browser size limit, low-powered devices, and browsers that cannot decode or produce the format are handled on the server automatically. The result is the same format.
