PNG to JPG
Turn a PNG into a JPG without uploading it. The picture is converted inside this browser tab and saved straight back to your computer.
Your file stays on your computer. There is no upload on this page — the conversion runs in your browser, so nothing reaches our server and there is nothing stored to delete. It works offline, and it works on a file you would not send to a stranger.
Choose a file above, then press Convert.
How to convert PNG to JPG
- Choose the PNG, or drop it on the box above.

- Press Download.
Why convert a PNG to a JPG
Usually size. A photograph saved as a PNG can be five or ten times larger than the same photograph as a JPG, because PNG stores every pixel exactly while JPG throws away detail the eye does not notice.
That matters when an upload form has a limit, when you are attaching several pictures to one email, or when a page full of PNGs is what is making a website slow to load.
Transparency becomes white
JPG has no transparency. Not as a setting that is switched off - the format simply cannot store it. So anything see-through in your PNG has to land on something, and this page puts it on white rather than on the black an unpainted canvas would give it.
If your PNG is a logo or an icon with a clear background and you need it to stay clear, do not convert it to JPG at all. Keep the PNG, or use WebP, which keeps transparency and is usually smaller than both.
When a JPG comes out bigger than the PNG
It happens, and it surprises people who were converting to save space. PNG is extremely good at exactly the kind of picture JPG is bad at: flat colour, sharp edges and text.
A screenshot, a chart or a logo compresses to almost nothing as a PNG, while JPG has to spend bytes blurring edges it was never designed for - so the result is both larger and visibly worse, with grey smudges around the letters. The rule is simple: photographs to JPG, everything else stays PNG.
Quality, and where to change it
The JPG is written at 92% quality. That is the setting where the loss is hard to see on a photograph and the file is still far smaller than the PNG it came from.
If you want to choose the number yourself, resize at the same time, or convert a folder of pictures at once, the image converter has all three and makes the same promise about not uploading anything.
Questions people ask
Is this free?
Yes. No sign-up, no watermark on the picture, and no limit on how many you convert.
Is my picture uploaded?
No. The PNG is decoded, redrawn and saved as a JPG entirely inside your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere and nothing is stored.
Will it lose quality?
A little, by design. JPG is a lossy format - that is what makes it small. At the 92% quality this uses, the difference is hard to see on a photograph and obvious on a screenshot, which is why screenshots are better left as PNGs.
What happens to a transparent background?
It becomes white. JPG cannot store transparency at all, so every see-through pixel has to be given a colour, and white is the one that surprises people least.
Can I convert several pictures at once?
Not on this page - it takes one at a time. The image converter does batches, and it also lets you resize and set the quality.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. Choose a picture from your phone’s photos and the JPG saves to your downloads.
