Convert a PNG to JPG without uploading it anywhere

PNG is a lossless format built for screenshots, logos and anything with sharp edges or transparency — which also makes it a poor fit for photographs, where the files come out several times larger than they need to be. Converting a photographic PNG to JPG is the usual fix when a form rejects your upload for being too big, or an email bounces for the attachment size.

The quality slider lets you trade a little visual fidelity for a much smaller file; around 80% is the sweet spot where the saving is large and the loss is invisible. Because JPG has no transparency, any transparent areas in the PNG are filled with a background colour you choose — white by default — rather than turning an unexpected black.

What this does — and what it doesn't

  • JPG is lossy: the conversion discards some detail to shrink the file, and you can't recover the original PNG quality by converting back. Keep the PNG if you'll need to edit it again.
  • Transparency is flattened onto the background colour you pick — JPG can't store an alpha channel. If you need to keep transparency, convert to WebP instead.

PNG to JPG — frequently asked questions

Will converting to JPG lose quality?
A little, by design — JPG compression drops detail the eye barely notices in exchange for a far smaller file. At high quality settings the difference is invisible on photographs; on text and sharp lines it's more noticeable, which is why PNG stays the better choice for those.
What happens to the transparent parts of my PNG?
They're filled with the background colour you choose, because JPG has no transparency. White is the default; pick any colour to match where the image will sit. If keeping transparency matters, convert to WebP rather than JPG.
Can I convert several images at once?
Yes. Drop or choose as many files as you like: they are all converted with the same settings, you see each result's size before downloading, and Download all gives you one ZIP. To shrink files without changing their format, the Image Compressor is the better fit.
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using the canvas API and, for some formats, WebAssembly — the image never leaves your device. Most conversions keep working with the internet switched off once the page has loaded. A few (HEIC, TIFF, AVIF and PNG to SVG) download a helper file from this site the first time you use them; if you are offline at that moment you are told so, not blamed for a broken file. There is no upload endpoint to send anything to.
Is it really free?
Yes — no account, no watermark, no daily limit, and no paid step at download. It's free because there's no server doing the work, so it costs us almost nothing to run.
