PNG to JPG Converter
Upload a PNG image and convert it to JPG (JPEG) format entirely in your browser. A quality slider lets you balance file size against visual fidelity — 0.92 is a good default that keeps images sharp while producing files roughly 60-80% smaller than the original PNG.
PNG is a lossless format that preserves every pixel perfectly but produces large files, especially for photographs. JPG uses lossy compression that discards imperceptible detail, making it the standard for photos on the web, in email, and on social media. This tool draws the PNG onto an offscreen canvas and re-exports it as a JPG — transparency is replaced with a white background, since JPG doesn't support alpha channels.
Nothing is uploaded to a server. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using the native Canvas API.

Frequently asked questions
Does converting PNG to JPG lose quality?▼
Yes — JPG is a lossy format, so some detail is discarded during compression. At the default quality of 0.92, the loss is imperceptible for most images. Lower quality values produce smaller files but introduce visible compression artifacts, especially around sharp edges and text.
What happens to transparent areas in the PNG?▼
JPG does not support transparency. Any transparent pixels in the original PNG are composited onto a white background before the JPG is exported.
When should I use PNG instead of JPG?▼
PNG is better for graphics with sharp edges, text, logos, screenshots, or anything where you need transparency. JPG is better for photographs and large images where file size matters more than pixel-perfect accuracy.
