Convert PNG to JPG online, free
PNG screenshots and exports are pixel-perfect — and enormous. A fullscreen screenshot can weigh 3–5 MB, which chokes email attachments, slows uploads, and eats phone storage. JPG compresses the same photo content to a fraction of the size: expect 60–80% smaller files at 92% quality with no visible difference. The converter below opens pre-set to JPG at 92% — drop your PNG, pick a background color for any transparent areas (JPG can't store transparency), and download. Everything runs locally; nothing is uploaded.
How to convert PNG to JPG
- 1Drop your PNG anywhere on the converter above — or click to browse, or paste a screenshot straight from clipboard.
- 2Set the background. JPG has no transparency, so see-through pixels are filled with your chosen color. White suits documents; match your site background for graphics.
- 3Hit Convert and download your .jpg — compare the before/after sizes to see what you saved.
Best results from PNG originals
Screenshots love 85–92%
Text stays crisp while files collapse. Below ~80%, fine text starts to smudge — stay above it for anything readable.
Photos go smaller
Camera photos exported as PNG are absurdly large. Converting to JPG at 90% routinely turns 8 MB into under 1.5 MB.
Keep logos as PNG
Flat-color logos with sharp edges and transparency compress badly as JPG and lose their alpha. Only convert photos, screenshots, and gradients.
Frequently asked questions
Will converting PNG to JPG lose quality?
At 90–92% quality, no visible difference for photos and screenshots — while files shrink 60–80%. JPG is lossy, so avoid re-saving the same file many times.
What happens to transparency?
JPG cannot store transparency. Transparent pixels are filled with the background color you pick in the converter (white by default), so check the preview before downloading.
Why is my JPG still large?
Huge dimensions are usually the cause — a 4K screenshot carries 4× the pixels of a 1080p one. Shrink it first with our 50% resizer, then convert.
PNG or JPG for email attachments?
JPG, always — unless you need transparency. A PNG screenshot that bounces off a 25MB attachment limit almost always fits after converting to JPG.
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser, so private screenshots and documents never leave your device.
