Convert PNG images to smaller JPG files. Free, no signup. Runs entirely in your browser; files are never uploaded.

## How it works

PNG is lossless, which is why screenshots and exported graphics balloon to several megabytes. Re-encoding as JPEG typically cuts photos and screenshots by 70-90% with little visible difference at quality 80+. One real trade-off to know before you convert: JPEG has no alpha channel, so any transparent areas in your PNG become a solid white background. If you need to keep transparency, convert to WebP instead. The conversion happens on a canvas in your browser — the file never touches a server, so it's safe for private screenshots, IDs, and documents. Adjust the quality slider (40 to 100), watch the output size, and download. The filename keeps the source name with a .jpg extension.

## Frequently asked questions

### Will my PNG's transparency survive?

No. JPEG doesn't support transparency, so transparent pixels become white. Use PNG to WebP if you need to keep the alpha channel.

### How much smaller will the JPG be?

Photos and screenshots typically shrink 70-90%. Flat graphics with few colors shrink less, and text-heavy images may show slight JPEG artefacts around letters.

### What quality setting should I use?

80-90 is visually indistinguishable for most images. Drop to 60-70 for thumbnails where a smaller file matters more than fine detail.

### Is my PNG uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion runs on a canvas in your browser. The file never leaves your device.
