Why Convert PNG to JPG?

PNG files are significantly larger than equivalent JPG files for photographic content because lossless compression cannot match the efficiency of perceptual compression on natural images.

Converting to JPG reduces file size by 60-80% with negligible quality loss for photos, making pages load faster and storage costs drop.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much smaller will my JPG be?
For photographic content, JPG files are typically 60-80% smaller than PNG at equivalent visual quality. For graphics with flat colors or text, the savings are smaller and quality loss is more noticeable.
Will my PNG's transparent areas be preserved?
No. JPG does not support transparency. Transparent areas in your PNG will be filled with a solid background color, typically white.
What quality level should I choose?
Quality 80-90 is the standard sweet spot: files are 3-5x smaller than PNG with no visible degradation for most photos. Quality below 60 introduces noticeable artifacts on text and sharp edges.
Is this conversion reversible?
No. Once converted to JPG, the discarded data cannot be recovered. Always keep your original PNG if you may need it again.
Is my file private?
Yes. The conversion runs in your browser tab and nothing is uploaded, so your files never leave your device. The only limit is size: 25 MB for this format. Bigger files route to the desktop app.
