How to convert PNG to JPG
PNG files can be huge, especially photos and screenshots. Converting them to JPG often cuts the size by 70–90%, makes them easy to email and upload, and keeps them looking great. Choose a background color for any transparent areas and convert a whole batch at once.
-
Step 1
Add your PNG files
Drag in PNG images, from single screenshots to whole folders of exported graphics.
-
Step 2
Set the quality
JPG is already selected. Leave quality at 90% for photos, or lower it a little for even smaller files.
-
Step 3
Pick a background color
Transparent parts of a PNG need a solid color in JPG. White is the default; choose another to match where the image will be used.

Step 4
Convert and download
Press Convert and save the JPGs one at a time or together as a ZIP.
When PNG to JPG is the right move
PNG is the format of choice for screenshots, design exports and anything with transparency, but it was never meant for photographs. A photo saved as PNG can easily weigh 5–15 MB, far too large for many email providers, chat apps and upload forms. JPG was designed for exactly this kind of image and shrinks it dramatically with no visible change.
Typical cases: camera exports or edited photos that came out as PNG, phone screenshots you want to send quickly, scanned documents saved as PNG by a scanning app, and product photos headed for a marketplace that prefers JPG.
What happens to transparency
JPG has no way to store see-through pixels, so transparent areas must become a color. The background picker on this page decides which one. White suits most documents and web pages; pick a dark color if the image will sit on a dark background, or your brand color for a seamless look. Semi-transparent edges, such as soft shadows or anti-aliased text, are blended smoothly into the color you choose rather than cut off sharply.
If you need to keep the transparency and still want a smaller file, choose PNG to WebP instead: WebP supports transparency and is typically much smaller than PNG.
Text-heavy images: a word of caution
JPG compression is tuned for photos. On images with sharp text, thin lines or flat areas of color, like code screenshots, charts and logos, it can add faint smudges around the edges. Keeping quality at 90% or above minimizes this. If crisp text matters more than file size, it may be better to keep the PNG and shrink it with Compress Image, which reduces PNG colors without blurring edges.
Fast and private
Everything happens in your browser: the PNG is decoded, flattened onto your background color and saved as a JPG on your device. Nothing is uploaded, so even screenshots of private chats, bank statements or work documents stay with you. There are no limits on how many files you convert and no watermarks on the results.
A quick rule for photos versus graphics
Ask what the image mostly contains. If it’s a photograph, a scan of paper or a screenshot dominated by pictures, JPG is the better home for it and the savings are dramatic. If it’s mostly flat color, lettering or line art, PNG (or WebP) usually looks better at a similar size. When a folder mixes both, converting everything to JPG at 90% is a reasonable compromise for sharing, while the originals stay safe on your device.
Frequently asked questions
How much smaller will my files be as JPG?
For photos and photo-like screenshots, often 70 to 90 percent smaller. Simple graphics with a few flat colors shrink less, and occasionally the PNG is already smaller.
What happens to the transparent background?
JPG cannot store transparency, so transparent areas are filled with the background color you choose. White is the default.
Does converting PNG to JPG reduce quality?
Slightly, because JPG uses compression. At the default 90 percent quality, photos look the same. Sharp text and thin lines are the most likely to show faint artifacts.
Should I use JPG or WebP?
Use JPG when the file must work everywhere, including older software and strict upload forms. Use WebP when you need transparency or the smallest possible file for a website.
Can I convert a whole folder of PNGs?
Yes. Select or drop all the files at once, convert them together and download a single ZIP.
Are my PNG files uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion is done by your browser on your own device, and nothing is sent to a server.
Why do my screenshots look slightly blurry as JPG?
JPG compression smooths fine detail, which is most visible on small text and thin lines. Raise the quality to 95 percent, or keep screenshots as compressed PNGs if crisp text matters most.
