PNG to JPG Converter

When to use this

Use JPG when a photo or complex PNG needs a format accepted by an email service, CMS, or other destination that does not require transparency. Compare the exported size and appearance with the original: a JPG can be smaller, but the result depends on the source and the quality setting.

Common triggers include attachment limits, CMS upload caps, and preparing product photos for publication. Keep the PNG if it is already smaller or the JPG introduces unacceptable artifacts.

When it doesn't make sense: logos with sharp edges and flat colors, pixel art, screenshots of text, or anything where you need the transparent background. For those, keep the PNG or convert to WebP instead.

Good to know

Transparency becomes white. JPG has no alpha channel. Transparent pixels are filled with white. If you need transparency, keep the PNG or try WebP and check the actual output.

Size varies by image. Photos and detailed images often shrink, while flat graphics, text-heavy screenshots, or small optimized PNGs may not. The result panel shows the actual before-and-after sizes.

Inspect the output. JPG compression can soften text and edges or introduce artifacts. Increase the quality setting if that matters; there is no single percentage that is best for every image.

JPG degrades on re-save. Every time you open a JPG and save it again, it re-compresses and loses more data. If you plan to edit the output, do your editing first and export to JPG as the final step.

No server, no upload. Conversion happens in your browser via the Canvas API. Your files never leave your device.
