How It Works

Convert PNG to JPG in three simple steps

STEP 1

Upload PNG Files

Drop one or more PNG files onto the upload area or click to browse. Supports standard PNG, interlaced PNG, and PNGs with transparency (alpha channel). Upload up to 20 files with a combined size of 100 MB on the free plan.

STEP 2

Set Quality & Fill

Choose JPG quality (85 is recommended — virtually indistinguishable from the original at half the file size). For transparent PNGs, choose a background fill colour — JPG does not support transparency, so all transparent areas must be filled with a solid colour before encoding.

STEP 3

Download JPG

Your JPG files are typically 60–80% smaller than the PNG originals. A single file downloads directly; multiple files are packaged as a ZIP. Results are ready for web upload, email attachment, or social media sharing immediately.

PNG to JPG Features

Everything you need for fast, high-quality PNG to JPG conversion

Adjustable Quality

Four quality presets from 60 (aggressive compression) to 95 (near-lossless). At quality 85, the visual output is identical to the PNG original at typical screen viewing sizes, producing JPG files 60–80% smaller than their PNG counterparts. Lower quality is useful for email attachments and thumbnails.

Transparency Fill Colour

JPG does not support an alpha channel — transparent pixels must be replaced with a solid colour before encoding. Choose white (for use on white pages), black (for dark backgrounds), or any custom hex colour. This prevents logos and icons from getting an ugly default grey or black fill in some converters.

Batch Convert 20 Files

Upload and convert up to 20 PNG files in one operation. All files are converted simultaneously with the same settings and delivered as a ZIP archive. Ideal for converting a set of screenshots, design exports, or photo gallery images in one go.

Progressive JPEG Encoding

Progressive JPEG renders a low-quality preview of the full image immediately, then refines it as data loads — giving a much better perceived loading experience on slow connections. It also typically produces files 2–5% smaller than baseline JPEG at the same quality setting, at no visual cost.

EXIF Strip

Strip metadata from the output JPG to reduce file size further and remove any sensitive data (such as GPS coordinates or device information) that may be present in the source PNG's metadata. Enabled by default; disable it if you need to preserve copyright or authorship metadata in the output.

100% Private & Secure

All uploads use TLS 1.3 encryption. Images are processed in isolated server containers and permanently deleted within 24 hours. No watermarks are added. We never view, index, or share your files, and no account is required.

Frequently Asked Questions

PNG uses lossless compression — every pixel is stored exactly, making files large. JPG uses lossy compression that typically reduces file size by 60–80% with no visible quality difference at normal screen sizes. Converting makes sense when: you need to email images with file size limits, upload to platforms that compress PNGs anyway, or reduce page load times on a website. Keep as PNG when: the image has transparency you need to preserve, contains sharp text or graphics where artefacts are visible, or is a source file you'll edit further.

JPG does not support transparency — it has no alpha channel. Every pixel must have a solid colour value. Any transparent or semi-transparent areas in your PNG are composited against the fill colour you choose before encoding. Choose white if the image will appear on a white page; choose the exact background colour of your target surface if you know it; choose black for dark-themed outputs. Semi-transparent pixels are blended proportionally with the fill colour.

At quality 85, the output is visually indistinguishable from the PNG original for photographic content and most design assets at normal viewing distances. Images with sharp diagonal edges, fine text, or repeating geometric patterns may show very faint JPEG compression artefacts at quality 85 — use quality 95 for these. Screenshots of web pages or UIs with small text are best kept as PNG, as JPEG introduces visible ringing around characters even at high quality.

Typical reduction: photographs and complex images compress to 5–20% of the PNG file size at quality 85. Simple graphics, logos, and flat-colour illustrations compress less well because PNG handles these efficiently and JPEG's DCT compression works best on smooth colour gradients. A 3 MB photo PNG might become a 200–400 KB JPG; a 100 KB icon PNG might only reduce to 40–60 KB JPG.

Progressive JPEG stores the image in multiple passes: pass 1 renders a blurry full image, subsequent passes sharpen it progressively as more data loads. This gives users something to look at immediately rather than waiting for the image to load top-to-bottom. For web images, always use progressive — it improves perceived performance and typically produces 2–5% smaller files. For desktop applications or print, baseline JPEG is safer as some older software doesn't handle progressive JPEG correctly.

Yes. All uploads are encrypted with TLS 1.3. Images are processed in isolated server containers and permanently deleted within 24 hours. No watermarks are added to the output. We never view, share, or retain your images beyond the active processing session. No account is required.
