Pro Tips

  • Since JPG doesn't support transparency, any transparent areas in your PNG are filled with white before conversion
  • Higher quality percentages preserve more detail but produce larger files - 92% is a good default balance
  • PNG is best for graphics with sharp edges or transparency, while JPG is better suited for photos where some quality loss is acceptable
  • The whole file is converted locally in your browser - nothing is uploaded anywhere

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to transparent areas in my PNG?

Since JPG doesn't support transparency, any transparent or semi-transparent pixels are filled with white before the image is converted.

Will I lose image quality?

JPG uses lossy compression, so some quality loss is expected. At 92% quality or higher, the difference is usually barely noticeable, while lower settings trade quality for smaller file size.

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. The entire conversion happens locally in your browser using the Canvas API. Your image never leaves your device.

Why would I convert PNG to JPG instead of keeping it as PNG?

JPG files are typically much smaller than PNG for photographic content, making them better suited for web use, email, and storage where file size matters more than pixel-perfect transparency or sharp edges.

Can I convert multiple PNG files at once?

This tool converts one file at a time. For batch conversion, you'd need to repeat the process for each file.
