PNG to JPG converter

PNG files are lossless, which makes them large. Converting to JPG typically cuts the size by 80–95% — worth doing for photographs and email attachments, though not for screenshots full of text.

How to use it

  1. Drop your PNG files onto the panel, or click to pick them.
  2. Set the quality — 90% is visually lossless for most screenshots.
  3. Download each JPG file, or grab them all at once.

Questions

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything runs in your browser using the Canvas API — the file never leaves your machine, and the tool keeps working if you go offline after the page loads. There is no account, no queue, and no server-side copy to delete later.

Will converting to JPG lose quality?

JPG is a lossy format, so some data is discarded. At 90% quality the difference is invisible for screenshots and UI images. Drop to 70–80% only if file size matters more than crisp text — compression artefacts show up around lettering first.

My PNG had a transparent background. What happens to it?

JPG cannot store transparency, so transparent areas are filled with white. If you need to keep the alpha channel, convert to WebP instead.
