Need Smaller Image Files?
PNG files are great for quality but often unnecessarily large for everyday use. A 5MB PNG photo might become a 500KB JPG with no visible difference—perfect for email, web upload, or saving storage space.
Converting PNG to JPG applies efficient compression designed for photographs. Your images look great while taking up far less space.
How to Convert PNG to JPG
- Upload your PNG file – Select your image
- Confirm JPG output – JPG provides efficient photo compression
- Download your file – Get your smaller, optimized image
Conversion happens in your browser—fast and private.
Why Convert PNG to JPG?
Dramatically Smaller Files
JPG compression is highly efficient for photos. File sizes typically reduce by 70-90%, depending on the image. Photos that are megabytes become hundreds of kilobytes.
Faster Uploads
Email attachments, social media posts, and website uploads go faster with smaller files. Many platforms have file size limits that large PNGs exceed.
Web Performance
Smaller images load faster on websites. For photography and general images, JPG is the web standard.
Universal Compatibility
JPG is the most widely supported image format. Every device, application, and platform handles JPG without issues.
When to Keep PNG
PNG is sometimes the right choice. Keep your image as PNG if:
- Transparency needed – JPG doesn't support transparent backgrounds
- Sharp edges/text – Logos and screenshots stay crisper in PNG
- Archival purpose – PNG is lossless; JPG loses some data
- Will edit repeatedly – PNG doesn't degrade with each save
For photos and general images where none of these apply, JPG is more practical.
Quality and Compression
JPG compression is lossy—some data is discarded for smaller files:
- High quality (90%+) – Nearly identical to PNG, moderate size reduction
- Standard quality (80-85%) – Excellent balance of quality and size
- Web quality (70-75%) – Visible compression, much smaller files
For most uses, 80-85% quality is ideal—small files with imperceptible quality loss.
Transparency Warning
PNG transparency becomes solid color in JPG (usually white). If your PNG has a transparent background, it will appear as a solid background after conversion. For transparent images, keep using PNG or see our PNG to WebP converter which supports transparency.
Batch Convert Multiple Images
Have many PNGs to convert? Upload multiple files and convert them all to JPG in one batch. Optimize an entire folder of images at once.
