Convert PNG to JPG

Convert PNG screenshots and graphics to much smaller JPG files.

How it works

PNG is lossless, which is ideal for logos and interface screenshots but expensive for photos: a 4000 px photo saved as PNG can be 20 MB where a JPG would be 2 MB. Many forms also only accept JPG. Converting is a one-step fix when you do not need transparency.

The conversion flattens any transparent pixels onto white and encodes at the quality you choose. Text in screenshots stays sharp at 90% or higher; for photos, 80-85% is usually enough. If you need to hit a specific KB limit instead, use the image compressor, which accepts PNG directly.

Convert it, or keep the PNG?

The PNG isDo thisJPG quality to use
A photo saved as PNG (phone edit, AI image, export)Convert: often 5 to 10 times smaller80 to 85
A screenshot of a web page, chat or spreadsheetConvert if a form needs JPG or a size limit90 or higher, so text stays crisp
A logo, icon or diagram with flat coloursKeep the PNG: JPG adds haze around edges and may be bigger
An image with a transparent backgroundKeep the PNG, or use WebP; JPG turns transparency white
A scan of a documentConvert, or put it into a PDF with PNG to PDF85 to 90

If the target is a size in KB rather than the JPG format itself, skip this step: the image compressor accepts PNG and produces a JPG that fits the limit in one go.

How to use it

  1. Drop the PNG file or click to browse.
  2. Adjust quality: 90-95% for screenshots with small text, 80-85% for photos.
  3. Click Convert.
  4. Download the JPG and check the size shown in the result card.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the JPG background white where it used to be transparent?

JPG does not support transparency. If you need it, keep the PNG or use WebP.

Should I convert a logo to JPG?

Usually not. Flat graphics with sharp edges show JPG artefacts and often end up larger than the PNG. JPG is for photos and screenshots with gradients.

How much smaller will the file be?

Photos stored as PNG typically shrink 5-10x. Screenshots shrink 2-4x depending on how much flat colour they contain.
