How to convert PNG to JPG

Choose, drop or paste a PNG image. It's converted to JPG right away using sensible defaults.
If the PNG has transparent areas, choose a background colour: white, black or a custom colour.
Adjust the JPG quality if you want a smaller file, then convert again.
Download the JPG.

Transparency and background colour

PNG can store transparent and semi-transparent pixels; JPG can't. When a PNG with transparency becomes a JPG, every transparent pixel has to be given a solid colour. The converter checks your image for transparency and, if it finds any, asks which background to use:

White suits documents, product photos and most websites.
Black suits dark designs and presentations.
Custom lets you match the page or slide where the image will appear.

Soft edges, such as anti-aliased text or shadows, are blended onto the chosen colour, so they stay smooth instead of turning jagged.

When to convert PNG to JPG

Photos saved as PNG: converting can make the file several times smaller with no visible difference.
Upload forms that only accept JPG: many application and government portals require JPG.
Email and messaging: smaller JPGs send faster and fit attachment limits.

Keep PNG for screenshots with small text, logos, and anything that must stay transparent. If you need a smaller transparent image, compress the PNG instead. To keep editing a JPG without further loss, you can convert JPG to PNG. Images saved from websites are often WebP rather than PNG; the WebP to JPG converter handles those.

File size and quality

For photographs, JPG at 80–90% quality is typically much smaller than PNG and looks the same at normal viewing sizes. For flat graphics, the saving is smaller and JPG artefacts are easier to spot around sharp edges, so check the preview. If you have a strict size limit, use resize an image to a target size in KB, which accepts PNG files and produces a JPG under your limit.

Privacy: your image stays on your device

Your PNG is read and converted to JPG by your own browser. It never leaves your device, and the JPG you download is created locally.

Frequently asked questions

What happens to transparent areas when converting PNG to JPG?

JPG has no transparency, so transparent pixels must be filled with a solid colour. The converter detects transparency and lets you choose white, black or any custom colour. Semi-transparent edges are blended onto that colour so they stay smooth.

Why did my transparent PNG get a black background elsewhere?

Some converters drop the transparency information, and the hidden colour behind it, often black, shows through. This converter always fills transparent areas with the background colour you choose, white by default.

What JPG quality should I choose?

The default of 90% keeps photos and most graphics looking crisp. 75–85% gives noticeably smaller files with little visible difference for photos. Keep it at 90% or higher for images containing text.

Will converting PNG to JPG reduce quality?

Slightly. JPG uses lossy compression, so some fine detail is simplified. For photos this is usually invisible at high quality settings. Sharp text, line art and flat-colour graphics show JPG artefacts more easily, so those are often better left as PNG.

Is PNG to JPEG the same as PNG to JPG?

Yes. JPG and JPEG are two names for the same format. The converted file uses the .jpg extension, which is accepted wherever JPEG is.

Are my PNG files uploaded?

No. The conversion runs in your browser on your device. Your PNG isn't sent to a server and isn't stored after you leave the page.
