How to convert PNG to JPG

  3. Download JPG files individually, or grab all as a ZIP.

Quick fact about PNG

PNG files are typically 3-10x larger than the same image saved as JPG, because PNG uses lossless compression. For photographs, converting PNG to JPG shrinks the file by 60-80% with no visible difference on screens.

Why convert PNG to JPG?

PNG is a lossless format, which makes it perfect for logos, icons, and images with transparency — but wasteful for photographs. A PNG photo stored on disk is typically 3-10x larger than the same image saved as JPG. Converting PNG to JPG shrinks the file dramatically while keeping quality visually identical for photos. The trade-off: JPG does not support transparency, so transparent PNG areas become white.

PNG vs JPG

Attribute PNG JPG
Compression Lossless (DEFLATE) Lossy (DCT)
Typical file size Large (3-10x JPG) Small (reference)
Alpha channel Supported (8-bit) Not supported
Compatibility Universal since 1996 Universal since 1992
Best for Logos, screenshots, transparency Photos, web images, email
Editing Lossless editing, no quality drift Lossy — repeated edits degrade quality

Technical details

Input format PNG (Portable Network Graphics)
Output format JPG (JPEG)
Compression Lossy (JPEG at 92% quality)
Transparency Lost (JPG has no alpha channel)
Typical reduction 60-80% smaller than source PNG
Max file size 50 MB per file
Batch processing Supported
EXIF metadata Preserved
File retention Auto-deleted after conversion

How the conversion works

The converter decodes the PNG image and re-encodes it as JPG using libjpeg at 92% quality. Transparent pixels are composited onto a white background because JPG has no alpha channel. EXIF metadata is preserved from the source PNG. The output is typically 60-80% smaller than the source for photographs.

When to convert PNG to JPG

Quality considerations

PNG to JPG conversion is lossy at 92% quality — visually indistinguishable from the source on screen and for print up to A3 size. The output is typically 60-80% smaller than the source PNG. Best results when converting photographs; screenshots and text-heavy images compress less and may show slight softening around text.

Common problems and fixes

Transparent areas appear white in the JPG
JPG does not support transparency. Transparent PNG areas are composited onto white. Use PNG → WebP if you need to preserve transparency.
Screenshot text looks slightly fuzzy
JPG compression softens sharp edges. For screenshots with lots of text, use PNG → WebP (lossless mode) or keep the PNG.
PNG is already small — JPG isn't smaller
Very small PNGs (icons, simple graphics) may not compress much further. JPG's advantage is strongest on photographs with lots of detail.

Frequently asked questions

Will PNG to JPG reduce quality? +
Slightly, because JPG is lossy. At 92% quality, the difference is not visible on screen or in print. The file becomes 60-80% smaller.
Does JPG support transparency? +
No. Transparent PNG areas become white in the JPG. Use WebP or keep PNG if transparency matters.
Why is my PNG larger than JPG? +
PNG is lossless — every pixel is preserved exactly. JPG uses lossy compression, achieving 3-10x smaller files for photos.
Can I convert PNG to JPG in batch? +
Yes. Upload multiple PNG files at once (up to 50 MB total). JPG outputs are delivered as a ZIP.
Will metadata be preserved? +
Yes. EXIF data (camera, GPS, timestamp) is preserved from the source PNG.
Is it safe? +
Yes. Files are processed in memory and deleted automatically after download.
What's the maximum file size? +
50 MB per PNG file.
