About PNG to JPG Conversion

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless image format that supports transparency. While great for graphics and images with text, PNG files are often larger than necessary for photographs. Converting to JPG can significantly reduce file size while maintaining good visual quality.

For other format swaps, try JPG to PNG or reduce file sizes further with the image compressor.

When to Convert PNG to JPG

  • Photographs: JPG is optimized for photos with many colors and gradients
  • Web optimization: Smaller file sizes mean faster page loads
  • Email attachments: Reduce file size for easier sharing
  • Social media: Many platforms prefer or require JPG format

What Happens to Transparency?

JPG format does not support transparency. When you convert a PNG with a transparent background to JPG, the transparent areas will be filled with white. If you need to preserve transparency, consider keeping the PNG format or using WebP.

Quality Settings

Our converter lets you choose the output quality (1-100%). Higher quality means larger file sizes but better image fidelity. For most uses, 80-90% quality provides an excellent balance between size and quality.

Batch Processing

Need to convert multiple PNG files at once? Our converter supports batch processing. Simply upload all your PNG images, and they'll be converted to JPG simultaneously. You can then download them individually or as a single ZIP file for convenience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I lose quality when converting PNG to JPG?

JPG uses lossy compression, so there is some quality loss compared to PNG. However, at 80-90% quality settings, the difference is barely noticeable to the human eye for most photographs. The trade-off is significantly smaller file sizes.

What happens to my transparent background?

JPG does not support transparency. Any transparent areas in your PNG will be converted to a solid white background. If you need to keep transparency, consider using WebP format instead.

How much smaller will my files be?

The size reduction depends on the image content. For photographs, you can typically expect 50-80% smaller file sizes. Images with solid colors or text may see less dramatic reductions.
