PNG to JPG converts PNG images into smaller JPG files, right in your browser. It is the quickest way to shrink large screenshots and photos saved as PNG before you email or upload them.
When to convert PNG to JPG
| Your PNG is | Convert to JPG? | Why |
|---|---|---|
| A photo or scan | Yes | Often 5–10× smaller with no visible difference |
| A screenshot with photos or gradients | Usually | Much smaller; pick Maximum quality if it has small text |
| A logo or icon with transparency | No | Transparency would turn white; keep PNG or use WebP |
| Line art, diagrams, pixel art | No | PNG keeps hard edges perfectly sharp |
JPG is already selected on this page, and only PNG files can be added. To convert other formats, use the Image Converter. If you only need a smaller PNG, try Compress PNG instead.
Where big PNGs come from
- Screenshots. Windows, macOS, iPhone and Android save screenshots as PNG. On a high-resolution screen a single screenshot can be several megabytes.
- Exports from design and chart tools. Canva, Figma, Excel and slide apps often export PNG by default.
- Scans and photos saved as PNG by an editor or a scanning app.
Quality settings
| Setting | JPG quality | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum | 95 | Screenshots with small text, documents |
| High (default) | 90 | Photos, most screenshots |
| Medium | 80 | Smallest files for photos |
What changes in the conversion
- Transparency: transparent and semi-transparent areas are placed on white. The result list notes it for each image that had transparency.
- Edges and text: JPG can add faint ripples around sharp edges. On photos you will not notice; on a screenshot of code or a spreadsheet you might, so use Maximum.
- Size in pixels: unchanged, except images above about 16 megapixels, which are scaled to fit the browser’s limit.
Tips
- Need a file under a fixed size such as 200 KB? Use Compress Image to 100 KB and enter your limit; it works with PNG files and saves them as JPG.
Your PNG files are converted in your browser and saved straight to your device, without being uploaded.
