Turn a PNG image into a smaller, universally compatible JPG file.
Converts instantly to a smaller, universally compatible JPG
The PNG to JPG Converter is a focused, one-click tool for the other common direction of image conversion: taking a PNG file and turning it into a JPG. This is especially useful when a website form, email system or app only accepts JPG uploads, or when you simply want a much smaller file than the original PNG.
Your PNG is decoded into an image element and drawn onto a canvas that is first filled with a solid background colour of your choice, since JPG has no transparency channel. The canvas is then exported using the browser's built-in JPEG encoder at a high default quality setting, which typically produces a substantially smaller file than the original PNG while keeping the visual difference minimal for most photographic content.
Online sellers convert PNG product screenshots into JPG to satisfy marketplace upload requirements that only accept that format. Email senders convert large PNG attachments into smaller JPGs so messages send faster and fit within attachment size limits. Anyone who received a PNG image but needs to submit it through a form that lists JPG or JPEG as the only accepted type can quickly convert it here.
If your PNG has a transparent background, choose the background colour carefully before converting, since that colour will fill in wherever transparency used to be. PNGs with large areas of flat colour or text tend to shrink dramatically once converted to JPG, while busy photographs shrink less dramatically but still noticeably. Keep the original PNG as a backup if you might need transparency or lossless quality again later.
They are filled with the background colour you choose before conversion, since the JPG format cannot store transparency information.
For most photographic images the difference is barely visible at high quality settings, though PNGs with sharp text or flat graphics may show slight softening.
For maximum control over the exact quality-to-size tradeoff, try the dedicated Image Compressor tool after converting, which offers an adjustable quality slider.
Yes, a colour picker lets you choose exactly which colour fills any transparent areas before the conversion happens.
