Convert PNG to JPG

A heavy PNG won’t go through an upload form or an email? Converting it to JPG cuts the size a lot, especially if it’s a photograph.

How to convert PNG to JPG

  1. Add your PNG files

    Drag one or more PNG files onto the dashed area, or tap it to pick them from your device.

  2. Choose JPG and the options

    JPG is already selected; the options hold the settings that matter for this conversion.

  3. Convert and download

    Press “Convert to JPG”. When it’s done, download the files one by one or all together in a ZIP archive.

Good to know. JPG doesn’t support transparency: you can choose the colour that fills the transparent areas (white by default).

PNG and JPG compared

Source format

PNG

PNG (Portable Network Graphics)

Born as a free alternative to GIF, it keeps every pixel exactly as it is and supports transparency with 256 levels. It’s the natural choice for screenshots, logos, graphics with text and images you’ll edit several times.

Best for
Screenshots, logos, icons, graphics with text, images with a transparent background.
Limits
With photos the files get heavy, often 5-10 times a JPG of similar quality.

Target format

JPG

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)

The photo format par excellence. It compresses the image by discarding details the eye barely notices, so a 12-megapixel photo weighs only a few megabytes. Any device can open it, from an old phone to a photo lab’s printer.

Best for
Photos, pictures to attach to emails and online forms, printing.
Limits
Text, logos and sharp edges show halos; it has no transparency and every re-save loses a little quality.

Questions about PNG and JPG

What happens to the transparent background?

It’s filled with the colour you choose in the options, white if you don’t change anything.

Are my PNG files uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion from PNG to JPG happens entirely in your browser, using your device’s computing power. Files aren’t sent or stored anywhere: when you close the page they’re gone from memory too.

How many files can I convert at once?

Up to 100 files at a time. There’s no fixed size limit: it depends on your device’s memory. On smartphones it’s best to work in smaller batches with heavy files such as videos.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes, with up-to-date Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Samsung Internet. On phones, converted files end up in the Downloads folder or the Files app.

What quality should I choose for JPG?

For photos to share or post online, a quality between 75 and 85 gives light files with no visible flaws. For print or archiving go up to 90-95.

Do I need an internet connection?

Only to open the page (and, the first time, to download the components needed for that type of file). After that the conversion keeps working even if the connection drops.
