PNG to JPG Converter

Compress bulky PNGs into upload-friendly JPGs.

    What this does

    Converts PNG images to JPG in the browser, with a quality slider, so a bulky screenshot or exported photo fits under an upload limit. Drop up to 20 files, convert, and download each one — nothing is sent to a server. This is the general image converter locked to JPG output and PNG input.

    How much smaller will the JPG be?

    For photographs and full-screen captures, usually 80 to 95 percent smaller. PNG stores every pixel losslessly, which is right for logos and diagrams but wasteful for anything with gradients, noise or photographic detail: a 4 MB PNG screenshot of a desktop commonly lands around 300 to 500 KB as JPG at the default quality, with no difference you can see at normal size. The Download button on each row shows the exact result so you can check it against a form's limit before saving. Where the PNG is a flat-colour graphic, the saving is smaller and JPG may actually look worse — see the section on text below.

    How do I convert PNG to JPG?

    1. Drop .png files on the box above or click to choose them (20 per batch, 50 MB each).
    2. Adjust the quality slider if needed. It runs from 10 to 100 and starts at 92.
    3. Press Convert to JPG, then Download on each row. Files are named after the original, so screenshot.png becomes screenshot.jpg.

    What quality should I use for screenshots?

    • 92 (default) — indistinguishable from the PNG for nearly everything; a safe choice for anything you will look at closely.
    • 80–90 — the range most web and email use falls into; big savings, no obvious artefacts on photos.
    • Below 70 — visible blocking and smearing around high-contrast edges. Fine for thumbnails, not for documents.

    There is no "right" number; convert once at 92, look at the size, and step down only if you need to.

    What colour does the transparent background become?

    White. JPG has no alpha channel, so the tool flattens the PNG onto a solid white background before encoding; fully transparent pixels become white and semi-transparent edges blend into it. That is the right result for a logo going into a document or an email signature, but there is no option to pick another colour. If the image has a transparent background that matters (a logo, sticker or UI asset), convert to WebP instead, which keeps transparency at a similar size, or leave it as PNG and use the image compressor to shrink it.

    Why does text look fuzzy after converting?

    JPG compresses in 8×8 pixel blocks and is tuned for smooth photographic tone. Crisp black text on a white background is the opposite of that, so at low quality the letters grow faint halos and the background picks up speckle. At 85 or above the effect is negligible on a normal screenshot; if the image is a scan of a document or a code snippet that must stay pixel-perfect, it is a case for keeping PNG. Also note the JPG carries no metadata from the PNG and is capped at 8192 pixels per side. The reverse direction, JPG to PNG, is available when a tool demands PNG.
