Convert PNG to JPG free, in your browser, with adjustable quality and batch support. PNG files are often 5–10× larger than a visually identical JPG — converting slashes file size for email, uploads and websites.
Why convert
PNG is lossless and supports transparency, which makes it big. JPG compresses photos dramatically with no visible difference at high quality settings. Convert when you need smaller files, faster pages, or a format every system accepts. Note: JPG has no transparency — transparent areas become white (our converter handles this cleanly instead of turning them black like some tools).
How it works
- Drop your images (or click to browse / paste with Ctrl+V) — batch conversion supported.
- Adjust quality if you like — 92% is visually lossless for most photos.
- Download each file or grab them all with one click. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
Does converting PNG to JPG lose quality?
JPG is lossy, but at the default 92% quality the difference is invisible for photos. Graphics with sharp text edges are the exception — keep those as PNG.
What happens to transparency?
JPG does not support it. Our converter fills transparent areas with clean white — no ugly black boxes.
Can I convert many PNGs at once?
Yes, drop them all in and use Download all.
Are my images uploaded?
No — conversion happens entirely in your browser.

Why you would convert PNG to JPG
Almost always: file size. A photograph saved as PNG is often five to ten times larger than the same image as JPG, with no visible difference. That weight is paid by every visitor who loads the page and by every upload form that rejects the file.
Common triggers: a screenshot tool that defaults to PNG, images exported from a design app, or an upload limit you are trying to get under.
Transparency becomes a solid colour
This is the one that surprises people. JPG has no alpha channel, so a transparent background has to become something — normally white, sometimes black depending on the encoder.
A transparent logo converted to JPG arrives as a logo in a white box, which looks broken on any coloured background. If the transparency matters, keep the PNG or use WebP, which supports both transparency and small files.
When converting to JPG makes things worse
JPG is optimised for photographs — smooth gradients, no hard edges. It handles the opposite badly:
- Screenshots with text — letters get a visible halo of artefacts around them.
- Logos and line art — sharp edges become fuzzy.
- Diagrams and charts — flat colour areas develop faint blotches.
If the image is mostly text or flat colour, keep it as PNG. The file will be larger and it will look correct.
Choosing a quality setting
Around 80–85% is the usual sweet spot: most of the size saving, no artefacts a normal viewer will notice. Above 90% the file grows quickly for very little visible gain. Below 70% the damage starts to show on skin tones and gradients first.
And remember JPG is lossy every time it is saved. Convert once from the original rather than repeatedly re-saving the result.
Everything happens in your browser
No upload, no server, no queue. If you need to hit a specific file size rather than a quality level, compress to an exact KB size targets the number directly. For the reverse conversion see JPG to PNG, and the image converter handles WebP and batches.
