PNG to JPG converter

Convert a PNG into a real JPG, choose the background for transparent pixels, and inspect the result before downloading. Your image stays in the browser.

When a JPEG copy makes sense

A camera photograph saved as PNG can be cumbersome when the destination expects JPEG. This converter decodes the PNG and writes a new JPEG file; it does not merely rename the extension. Your original remains available. Choose it for a photo attachment, a JPG-only editor, or a form whose documented accepted types include JPEG. Conversion alone does not guarantee acceptance or a smaller file. If the destination also specifies dimensions or bytes, check those independently after export.

Choose the background before flattening

PNG can contain fully or partly transparent pixels, but JPEG has no alpha channel. The background picker supplies the color that appears behind those pixels. White is a convenient starting point for a photo on a white page, not a universal rule. Try the color the destination actually displays and inspect hair, antialiased lettering, and soft shadows. If you need to place the same artwork over different backgrounds later, keep the original transparent PNG. Once flattened, changing the filename back to PNG cannot recover transparency.

Protect detail rather than chase a number

The quality control is a browser encoder preference. A higher value generally preserves more detail at a larger byte cost, but different images and browsers need not produce identical files. Zoom into fine lettering, diagonals, and high-contrast edges. Screenshots and logos often remain cleaner as PNG. Start from the original for each new trial instead of re-uploading a JPEG you just exported. The result reports measured bytes and dimensions, so you can compare it at the intended display size before deciding whether a resize or a smaller quality setting is justified.

How it works

01

Choose your PNG images

Select or drop up to 20 still images, 10 MB each and 100 MB combined. Every file is checked; originals are not overwritten.

02

Choose your export settings

Adjust quality. For JPEG, choose a background for transparent pixels. A higher setting is not a byte-size guarantee.

03

Convert and inspect

Process the queue, then select a file to inspect its original or converted preview at fit size or 100%. Retry errors separately; successful results remain available.

04

Save ready files or a ZIP

Download files individually or package ready results as a real ZIP. Duplicate names receive a number. Save outputs before clearing the queue or leaving the page.

Frequently asked.

  • No. JPEG cannot store alpha. Transparent pixels are composited onto the background you choose. Keep the PNG if transparency is needed later.

  • It may reduce the size of a photograph, but graphics and already-efficient files can behave differently. The result shows actual bytes, not a promised saving.

  • Keep original size is the default. The optional Fit longest side setting reduces large images proportionally without enlarging smaller ones. Use the separate resizer if your destination requires another frame.

  • No. It is an encoder setting. Use the compressor for a byte cap, then inspect whether the resulting detail is still useful.

  • No. Processing reads the selected file locally and produces a separate download. Save it before closing the tab; outputs are not automatically backed up.

  • No. This is a still-image converter. Animated PNG may be decoded as one frame; use an animation-aware workflow when motion matters.
