What you get with the PNG to JPG

Much smaller files

Photos saved as PNG often shrink by more than half as JPG.

Resize in the same step

Set a maximum width to make the file smaller still.

White background

Transparent areas are filled with white, so nothing turns black.

Metadata removed

The JPG does not carry location or camera details.

When PNG to JPG makes sense

PNG files from screenshots and exports can be 5 to 10 times bigger than the same picture as a JPG. Converting is the quickest fix when an email bounces or an upload form says the file is too large or asks specifically for JPG or JPEG (the same format). Keep the PNG if the image has a transparent background you need, such as a logo; JPG fills transparency with white.

How to use the PNG to JPG

Choose the PNG image.
JPG is already selected. Set the quality and, if needed, a maximum width.
Click Convert, download the JPG and see how much smaller it is.

Questions

Why convert PNG to JPG?

Photos saved as PNG can be several times larger than the same photo as JPG. JPG makes them quick to email and small enough for upload limits.

Will the transparent background stay?

No. JPG has no transparency, so transparent areas become white. Keep logos with transparent backgrounds as PNG or WebP.

Is JPG good for screenshots?

It works, but text can get slightly blurry edges. For screenshots with small text, PNG or WebP usually looks sharper.

Is my image uploaded?

No. The conversion happens in your browser, and location and camera details are removed from the new file.

How do I convert PNG to JPG on Windows or Mac?

Open this page in any browser, choose the PNG and download the JPG. It works the same on Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone, with no software to install.

Why PNG files are so big, and how JPG fixes it

PNG is lossless: it stores every pixel exactly. That is perfect for logos and screenshots, but for photos it creates huge files. A phone photo saved as PNG can easily be 8 to 15 MB, while the same photo as JPG at 85% quality is often under 2 MB and looks the same.

Use 80 to 90% quality for photos. You will not see the difference, and the file will be much smaller.
Add a maximum width to go further. 1,920 pixels suits full-screen viewing; 1,200 pixels suits email and most websites.
Check the new size. The tool shows the size before and after, so you know if it fits an upload limit.

Common mistakes

Converting logos to JPG. Logos usually have a transparent background and sharp edges. As JPG they get a white box and fuzzy edges. Keep logos as PNG, or use WebP.
Converting the same JPG again and again. Each JPG save loses a little quality. Keep the original PNG and convert from it each time.
Not checking a size limit. If a form needs under 100 KB, follow the steps on the Compress image page.

Examples

Emailing photos: five PNG photos at 10 MB each will not fit in one email. Converted to JPG at 85% and 1,920 pixels wide, they are usually under 1 MB each.

A job application photo: the portal asks for a JPG under 200 KB. Convert your PNG to JPG with a maximum width of 800 pixels and check the size shown.

Website images: product photos load much faster as JPG or WebP than as PNG, which helps visitors on mobile data.
