Convert PNG to JPG online free, without uploading your photos

Convert PNG to JPG in four steps

A short workflow that works for single images and batches alike.

How to shrink PNG files

Three routes to a smaller image, with different trade-offs.

When JPG is the right output

Choose JPG when the image is a photo, a gradient, or anything without transparency needs. Camera photos that are 5 MB as PNG often drop below 1 MB as JPG at 85 percent quality, which makes them easy to email and fast to load on websites.

Keep PNG for logos, icons, and screenshots with sharp text. For those, converting to JPG blurs edges and forces a background color, so the trade is rarely worth it.

Reading the quality slider

The slider is a size and detail trade-off. Above 90 percent, files stay large with no visible gain on screens. Below 60 percent, blocky artifacts appear around edges and in gradients. The sweet spot is 75 to 90 percent, depending on the image.

Common PNG conversion mistakes

• Converting logos with transparency to JPG leaves an unwanted background block
• Exporting at 100 percent quality keeps files almost as large as the PNG
• Re-compressing an already compressed JPG multiplies artifacts
• Uploading personal photos to random converters spreads them to unknown servers

Conversion recommendations

• Use 80 to 90 percent quality for web and email images
• Keep PNG for transparency and sharp text, JPG for photos
• Always work from the original PNG, never from a previous JPG
• Convert locally when the image is personal or client-owned
