PNG to JPG Converter
PNG to JPG re-encodes a PNG as JPG using the browser's own canvas export, so the file is never sent to a server and the conversion happens in this tab.

PNG stores every pixel losslessly, which is exactly what you want for screenshots, logos and line art, and exactly what makes it a poor fit for photographs - a photo kept as PNG is often several times larger than it needs to be. Converting to JPG trades exact pixel fidelity for a much smaller file, which is usually the right trade for an email attachment or a page that has to load quickly. The PNG is decoded and redrawn on an HTML canvas in this tab, then re-encoded as JPG only when you download it.
When this is the wrong conversion
- The image has transparency. JPG has no alpha channel, so transparent areas are flattened onto a solid background. Logos and interface assets usually want to stay PNG.
- It is a screenshot of text or a diagram. JPG compression smears hard edges, so fine text picks up visible artefacts. PNG keeps them crisp.
- You only want a smaller file. If the goal is size rather than format, Image Compressor keeps the original format and lets you choose the quality.
How to use it
- Paste (Ctrl+V), drag and drop, or click to upload a .png file.
- It decodes and previews on a canvas immediately.
- Click "Download image" to save the result as a JPG.
Frequently asked questions
Is my PNG file uploaded to a server?
No - the image is decoded and redrawn on an HTML canvas in your browser tab, and re-encoded as JPG locally when you download. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Why convert PNG to JPG?
JPG files are usually much smaller than PNG for photos, which matters for email attachments, page load times, and storage limits.
Will converting PNG to JPG reduce quality?
JPG is a lossy format, so there's a small quality trade-off, but at reasonable quality settings it's not visually noticeable for photos.
What happens to transparency in my PNG?
JPG has no alpha channel, so any transparent areas in your PNG will be filled with a solid background (usually white) on conversion.
