PNG
PNG is a lossless raster-graphics format that supports transparent backgrounds. It is the preferred choice for logos, icons, and web graphics where detail and clarity are more important than file size.
JPG
JPG is the most common image format for digital photography. It uses lossy compression to balance high visual quality with small file sizes, making it ideal for web use and social media sharing.
How the PNG to JPG conversion works
PNG stores every pixel losslessly, which is why photographic PNGs are huge. The converter re-encodes them locally as JPG at quality 92 by default — visually equivalent for photos, at a fraction of the size — with a slider from 10 to 100 in the gear menu.
JPG has no transparency, so transparent PNG regions are flattened onto a background during conversion instead of turning into random artifacts. Auto-orientation and metadata stripping are available as options too.
Frequently asked questions
- What happens to transparent areas of my PNG?
- They are flattened onto a solid background, since JPG cannot store transparency. If you need transparency preserved, convert to WebP instead — that page exists too.
- How much smaller will my file get?
- Photos typically shrink 5–10× at the default quality. Graphics with large flat-color areas shrink less and may look better left as PNG.
- When should I NOT convert PNG to JPG?
- For logos, screenshots with sharp text, and images needing transparency — JPG's lossy compression blurs hard edges. For photos, JPG is almost always the right call.
- Are my images uploaded during conversion?
- No — everything runs via WebAssembly in your browser. Drop up to 50 files, convert in parallel, and download a zip of the results.
