User Guide

How to use this tool

The PNG to JPG converter turns transparent, lossless PNG images into compact JPEG files right in your browser. This is the best choice when you need photographic images at web-friendly file sizes, or when uploading to platforms that reject PNG or oversized images.

How to use it

Upload one or more PNG files via drag & drop, clipboard paste, or the file browser. Because JPG cannot store transparency, the tool automatically paints any transparent regions on top of a solid white background before encoding — this prevents black or unpredictable artifacts.

Use the quality slider to balance visual fidelity against file size. Around 82–0% quality is a safe default for photographs; drop lower for thumbnails or higher for print-adjacent work. The output filename inherits the original name but with a .jpg extension.

  • Adjustable quality from 40% up to 100%
  • Automatic flattening of transparent pixels to white
  • Typical output is 5–0× smaller than the source PNG
  • Great for e-commerce, blog headers, social media covers

When PNG is still the better choice

Do not convert screenshots that contain crisp text, wireframes with hard edges, or logos with flat colors — JPG will introduce visible ringing artifacts around those edges. Keep those as PNG or convert to WebP/AVIF instead.

If you need transparency preserved, use the Image →WebP or Image →AVIF converters. Both formats offer JPEG-class compression while retaining an alpha channel.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to transparency?

Transparent pixels are composited onto a background color you pick (default white).

Is there a quality loss?

JPG is lossy; quality 85+ is visually identical for most photos.

What background color is used for transparency?

Transparent areas are composited onto a background color you choose. The default is white, but you can pick any color using the color picker.

What JPG quality should I use?

For web photos, 80–85% offers the best balance of quality and file size. For archival or print, use 95%+. For thumbnails, 60–70% is usually fine.

Will I lose transparency?

Yes. JPG does not support an alpha channel. If you need transparency after conversion, use WebP or AVIF instead.

Is this tool free to use?

Yes. This tool is completely free with no sign-up, no watermarks, and no daily limits. All processing runs locally in your browser.

Why does my transparent PNG show a white background?

JPG has no alpha channel, so the tool flattens transparency to white by default. Use WebP/AVIF converters to preserve transparency.

What quality setting should I use?

Between 82% and 90% is invisible for most photos and yields a great size/quality tradeoff.
