Converting PNG to JPEG

This tool converts a PNG image into a JPEG file in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, so the conversion is instant and the file stays private. The output keeps the pixel dimensions of the original unless you ask for a resize.

PNG uses lossless compression and supports full transparency. JPEG uses lossy compression optimised for photographs and no transparency. That difference is what decides whether the conversion is a good idea for your particular image.

When to use JPEG instead of PNG

JPEG is the better choice for photographs and camera images. PNG is still the better choice for logos, screenshots, line art and any graphic that needs sharp edges or transparency. If you are converting between the two, you are usually trading transparency and file size against sharpness — smaller file sizes in most cases.

One practical warning: PNG does not support animation, and JPEG does not support animation. If animation matters, converting in this direction will lose it. Verify the result visually before it goes live.

How to convert PNG to JPEG

Add the file, choose the output settings, and download the converted image. Open both versions side by side at 100% to check for banding or ringing around high-contrast edges, especially on text and thin lines.

Quick steps

  1. Add your PNG file to the converter.
  2. Adjust the quality or output settings if you need a specific file size.
  3. Preview the result and compare it with the original at full size.
  4. Download the converted file.

Frequently asked questions

Is the conversion private?

Yes. The file is processed locally in your browser and is never uploaded to a server, so it is safe for private screenshots and documents.

Will I lose quality converting PNG to JPEG?

JPEG uses lossy compression optimised for photographs, so some quality loss is possible if the source is lossless compression. Keep the original file and compare the output before you overwrite anything.

Is there a file size limit?

No fixed limit — the work is done by your own device, so very large files simply take longer.

Does the output keep the same dimensions?

Yes. The pixel dimensions are preserved unless you deliberately resize the image.
