PNG to JPG
PNG uses lossless compression and supports transparency, while JPG uses lossy compression that shrinks photos dramatically but discards transparency and fine detail.
This conversion makes the most sense for photos rather than screenshots or graphics with text — JPG's compression introduces visible artifacts around sharp edges, which PNG doesn't have to worry about.
As a rule of thumb: stick with PNG when you need it for screenshots, logos, graphics with text, and convert to JPG when photos, where small file size matters most is what you actually need instead. Note that converting drops any transparency the original PNG had.

Frequently asked
- Is my PNG file uploaded to a server?
- No — the conversion runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Your image never leaves your device.
- What's the maximum file size?
- There's no hard limit, but very large images (over ~50 megapixels) may be slow to process since everything runs on your device rather than a server.
- Can I convert multiple files at once?
- Yes, the converter above accepts multiple files and lets you download them all at once as a zip.
