PNG and JPG: what’s the difference?
PNG is a lossless format. It keeps every pixel exactly, supports transparency, and is ideal for screenshots, diagrams, logos and anything with sharp edges or text. The trade-off is size: a photo saved as PNG can be many times larger than the same photo as a JPG.
JPG (or JPEG) is a lossy format designed for photographs. It discards detail the eye is unlikely to notice, which makes files much smaller. It has no transparency and can blur sharp edges and fine text, especially at low quality settings.
When to convert PNG to JPG
Convert when the image is a photo, or a screenshot of one, and size matters: an email attachment is too large, an upload form has a size limit, a website asks for JPG, or a folder of PNG photos is taking up space. Some phones and apps save photos or edited pictures as PNG, and converting them usually saves a lot.
Keep the PNG when the image is a logo, icon, chart or screenshot of text, or when it needs a transparent background. JPG compression can smudge those, and the file may not even get smaller.
Transparency becomes white
JPG has no transparency. When you convert a PNG with transparent or semi-transparent areas, the converter places it on a white background, so shadows and soft edges blend into white. To keep transparency, choose PNG or WebP as the output format.
Choosing the quality
The quality slider sets how much detail JPG compression keeps. The default 90% suits most photos. For screenshots and images with text, 95% or more keeps letters crisp. Lower settings make smaller files but show blocky artefacts in skies, gradients and around edges. The result card shows the size before and after each conversion.
Colour, bit depth and metadata
PNGs with a wide-gamut colour profile, such as Display P3, keep that wider colour in the JPG where your browser supports it, with a Display P3 profile embedded. High-bit-depth PNGs (16 bits per channel) are saved with 8 bits per channel, which is what JPG supports.
Text notes, EXIF data and other PNG metadata are not copied into the JPG. Any orientation is applied to the pixels.
Your images stay on your device
The converter runs in your browser. Images are read and converted in memory on your device, one at a time, and saved straight to your downloads. Nothing is uploaded, and closing the page discards the results. The converter identifies files by their contents, so a PNG with the wrong extension still converts. Use the file type checker to see what any file really is, or read how to identify an unknown file.

Common questions
Are my images uploaded?
No. Your browser reads the images you choose and converts them on your device. There is no upload endpoint, and website analytics does not receive images, filenames or results. See our privacy page.
Will converting to JPG make my file smaller?
For photos and detailed pictures, usually a lot smaller. For simple graphics with flat colours, a JPG can end up similar in size or even larger, and look worse. The result card shows the size before and after, so you can decide which to keep.
Why did my transparent background turn white?
JPG can’t store transparency, so transparent areas are placed on white. Keep the PNG, or choose PNG or WebP as the output, if you need transparency.
Which quality should I choose?
The default 90% suits most photos. For screenshots with small text, use 95% or higher so letters stay crisp. Below about 70%, blocky artefacts become easier to see.
