About PNG to JPG
What this converter does
Choose a PNG file and the tool draws it onto an HTML canvas in your browser, then saves that canvas as a JPEG at 92% quality. The converted file downloads as converted.jpg. Your image is not uploaded to a server, and the page shows the pixel dimensions of the result. The output has the same width and height as the original.
Why convert PNG to JPG
- Smaller files. Photos saved as PNG are often several times larger than the same picture as JPEG, which helps with email limits, upload forms and page speed.
- Compatibility. Some job portals, government forms and print services accept JPEG only.
- Screenshots of photos or complex images compress well as JPEG with little visible change.
What changes in the conversion
- Transparency becomes white. JPEG has no transparent pixels. The tool fills the background with white first, so a logo with a transparent background will have a white background afterwards.
- It is lossy. JPEG discards fine detail to save space. At 92% the change is hard to see in photos, but sharp lines and text can show faint blurring or halo artefacts.
- Metadata is not kept. Re-encoding through a canvas drops embedded information such as camera EXIF data.
- Do not convert repeatedly. Each JPEG save loses a little more quality. Keep the PNG as your master and export a JPEG only when you need one.
PNG or JPG: choosing the right format
| Use PNG for | Use JPG for |
|---|---|
| Logos, icons, line art | Photographs |
| Screenshots with text | Large images on web pages |
| Images needing transparency | Email and form uploads with size limits |
| Files you will edit again | Final delivery copies |
Troubleshooting
- If you see "Could not decode this image", the file may be corrupted or not a real PNG; try opening it in an image viewer first.
- Very large images (tens of megapixels) can run slowly or fail on phones with limited memory. Resize first.
- If the result is larger than you hoped, the image probably has a lot of fine detail or noise, which JPEG handles poorly.
For the reverse direction use the JPG to PNG converter.
Frequently Asked Questions
They're filled in with white — JPG doesn't support transparency at all, so any transparent or semi-transparent pixels are flattened onto a white background before saving.
92% JPEG quality — a high-quality setting that keeps file size reasonable without visible compression artifacts for most images.
No — the conversion runs entirely in your browser using the HTML Canvas API.
