PNG to JPG Converter
JPG is the format almost everything accepts, and for photographs it is far smaller than PNG. Convert a single screenshot or a whole batch, with a quality setting to trade size against fidelity and a background colour for any transparent areas.

How to convert PNG to JPG
- Add your PNGs. Drop in one or many images, click Pick files, or paste a screenshot.
- Choose quality and background. Higher quality keeps more detail and makes a larger file: 80 to 90% suits photographs, more for images containing text. Transparent areas are filled with the background colour, white by default.
- Convert and download. Convert and save. Each image is encoded locally in your browser.

| Transparency | Yes, full alpha channel | No |
| Animation | Only as APNG; most editors show one frame | No |
| Compression | Lossless | Lossy |
| Typical file size | Large for photos, compact for flat graphics | Small for photos; text and sharp edges compress badly |
| Support | Universal | Universal |

Things worth knowing
- JPG has no transparency. Transparent areas are filled with the background colour you pick, white by default. If you need transparency, convert to WebP instead.
- JPG compression is lossy and cumulative: re-saving a JPG repeatedly degrades it. Always convert from the original PNG rather than from an earlier JPG.
- Screenshots of text and flat-colour graphics often look worse as JPG than as PNG or WebP, because JPG blurs sharp edges.
Questions people ask
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No. Your browser decodes and re-encodes each image on your own device, so there is no server to upload to and nothing is stored. The page does fetch extra code from this site the first time you use certain features (the ZIP download, PDF output, a WebP encoder for browsers without one, and the HEIC decoder), but your images are never part of those requests.
What happens to transparent areas?
They are filled with a solid colour, white unless you choose another under Background. JPG has no alpha channel, so transparency has to be flattened onto something. Convert to WebP if you need the transparency kept.
Why did my screenshot get blurry?
JPG is tuned for photographs and smooths the hard edges that text and interface elements are made of. For screenshots, WebP or the original PNG will look noticeably cleaner at a similar size.
Is EXIF metadata preserved?
No. Metadata is dropped and colours are converted to standard sRGB, which is often desirable when sharing images publicly.
