When should you convert PNG to JPG?
JPG is a lossy format that often makes photographic images smaller. PNG is lossless and can preserve transparent pixels. A JPG cannot contain transparency, so this converter fills transparent areas with the selected background color before export.
How to convert PNG to JPG
- Choose a PNG image.
- Select the background color for any transparent areas.
- Adjust JPG quality. Higher quality usually creates a larger file.
- Convert, compare the file size, and inspect fine edges or text before using the result.
Frequently asked questions
Will JPG be smaller than PNG?
Often for photographs, but not always. Simple graphics or images with few colors may not benefit, so compare the actual output size.
Will transparency be preserved?
No. JPG does not support transparency. Transparent pixels are filled with the background color you choose.
Is the image uploaded?
No. Conversion uses your browser's local canvas APIs.
