PNG to JPG

PNG files are wonderfully sharp but they can be enormous, especially for photographs, and that weight slows down websites and clogs up email. The PNG to JPG tool converts your images to the far more compact JPG format and gives you a quality slider, so you can decide exactly where to sit on the trade-off between visual sharpness and file size.

How to use the PNG to JPG tool

1. Upload your PNG image.
2. Drag the quality slider to your preferred level.
3. Click Convert.
4. Download the smaller JPG.

Why convert PNG to JPG

For photographs and complex, colourful images, JPG often produces a file a fraction of the size of the equivalent PNG with no visible difference. That matters everywhere file size counts: faster-loading web pages, attachments that fit inside email limits, and image galleries that do not eat your storage. Many upload forms also simply require JPG, so the conversion is sometimes mandatory rather than optional.

Tips for the best balance

• Transparency becomes white, because JPG cannot store transparent areas — keep PNG if you need them.
• Around 80% quality is the usual sweet spot: small file, no obvious loss.
• Avoid JPG for text and line art, where its compression creates fuzzy edges — PNG is better there.
• Check the resulting size before committing, and nudge the slider if needed.

The conversion is performed locally on a canvas, so your images stay on your device. There is no watermark, no sign-up and no limit on how many files you process one after another.
