PNG files are ideal for logos and screenshots because they support lossless graphics and transparent backgrounds. However, for full-color photographs and complex scenes, PNG files can be four to ten times larger than JPG, often exceeding email limits and web form ceilings.

This converter transforms your PNG files into lightweight JPGs in your browser. Since JPG does not support transparency, you can choose a clean background color (white by default) to fill transparent regions gracefully.

How to Convert PNG to JPG

1

Upload PNG Images

Select one or more PNG files.

2

Choose Background & Quality

Specify a background color for transparent pixels and adjust output quality.

3

Convert and Download

Download your compact JPG images individually or as a ZIP archive.

Handling Transparency When Moving from PNG to JPG

Because the JPEG standard has no alpha transparency channel, every pixel must have an explicit color. If a transparent PNG is converted without a fill color, transparent areas typically turn solid black by default.

Our engine creates a background fill layer using your chosen hex color before drawing your image, ensuring logos and screenshots look crisp and intentional.

Practical Tips

  • Keep white as the background color for screenshots with transparent margins intended for printing or office documents.

Honest Limits

  • Transparency is permanently flattened in the output JPG.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to transparent areas in my PNG?

Transparent pixels are filled with your chosen background color (pure white by default).

Why did my file get so much smaller?

JPG uses lossy discrete cosine transform compression, which is vastly more efficient for photographs and rich gradients than PNG.

Is converting PNG to JPG reversible?

You can convert the JPG back to PNG, but any discarded photographic detail and transparency cannot be automatically regenerated.

Are my files uploaded to your servers?

No. The conversion is performed purely via client-side HTML5 canvas.
