About the PNG to JPG Converter

PNG is a lossless format: it stores every pixel exactly, which is ideal for screenshots, logos and graphics with transparency, but it makes photographs very large. JPG (also written JPEG) uses lossy compression designed for photos, so the same picture usually takes much less space. This converter draws your PNG onto a canvas in your browser and saves it again as a JPG at the quality you choose.

JPG cannot store transparency, so anything transparent in your PNG is filled with white before saving. A logo on a transparent background therefore ends up on a white rectangle. If you need to keep the transparency, switch the output to WebP or keep the PNG.

A typical case: a photo or scanned page saved as PNG is too big to email or attach to an online form. Convert it to JPG at 80–90% quality and compare the sizes shown in the Input Format and Output boxes. If the file is still too large, reduce its pixel dimensions with Resize Image or set a maximum width in the Image Compressor.

The same page also accepts JPG, WebP, BMP and GIF files and can save PNG or WebP, but it is built around turning PNGs into JPGs. For the opposite direction there is a separate JPG to PNG Converter.

How to use the PNG to JPG Converter

  1. 1

    Add your PNG

    Drag the file onto the drop area or click Browse Files. One image at a time, up to 50 MB.

  2. 2

    Keep JPG selected

    JPG is the default under Output Format. A note below the buttons reminds you that transparent areas will be filled with white.

  3. 3

    Set the quality

    Move the Quality slider between 10% and 100% (default 90%). Lower values give smaller files but more visible compression artifacts.

  4. 4

    Convert and download

    Click Convert to JPG, check the preview and the new file size, then click Download JPG. The file keeps your original name with a .jpg extension.

What it can do

Adjustable quality

A 10–100% slider for JPG and WebP output lets you trade file size against detail.

White fill for transparency

Transparent and semi-transparent pixels are blended onto white instead of turning black, which is what a plain canvas export would do.

Size comparison

The original file size and the converted size are shown side by side, so you can see what the conversion saved.

Same dimensions

The JPG has exactly the same width and height in pixels as the original; nothing is resized or cropped.

Other formats when you need them

Switch the output to PNG or WebP, or start from a JPG, WebP, BMP or GIF file.

Limitations

  • Transparent areas always become white; there is no option to pick another background color.
  • JPG compression is lossy. Text, line art and flat-color graphics can get soft or blocky edges, so PNG is usually the better format for them.
  • One file at a time; there is no batch conversion.
  • Animated GIFs are converted as a single still frame.
  • EXIF metadata and embedded color profiles are not copied into the new file.

Privacy

Your image is decoded and re-encoded by your browser’s canvas; it is not uploaded to FlexyPdf’s servers.

Frequently asked questions

What happens to the transparent background of my PNG?

JPG has no transparency, so the converter paints transparent pixels white before saving and blends semi-transparent edges onto white. To keep transparency, choose WebP as the output format or keep the PNG.

Which quality setting should I use?

For photos, 80–90% usually looks the same as the original at normal viewing size while saving a lot of space. Only go lower when you have to meet a size limit, and check the preview for blockiness around edges.

Why is my JPG bigger than the PNG?

This can happen with simple graphics such as screenshots of text, icons or flat colors, where PNG’s lossless compression is already very efficient. For that kind of image, keep the PNG or try a lower quality.

Does converting change the image dimensions?

No. The JPG has the same width and height in pixels as your PNG. To change the dimensions, use Resize Image afterwards.

Can I convert several PNGs at once?

No, the tool handles one image at a time. After downloading, drop the next file onto the drop area; your format and quality settings stay as they were.

Do I need to install software or sign up?

No. The converter is free, needs no account and runs in current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari.
