No upload, no cloud processing. The PNG-to-JPG conversion happens on your own device using the Canvas API, so nothing leaves your computer or phone.
Adjustable compression
Drag the quality slider between 50–100% to balance sharpness against file size — handy for shrinking large screenshots before you email or upload them.

PNG vs. JPG: which format should you use?
PNG and JPG solve different problems. PNG uses lossless compression, which preserves sharp edges and transparent backgrounds — ideal for logos, icons, and screenshots — but that comes at the cost of a larger file. JPG uses lossy compression that discards data the eye barely notices, producing a much smaller file that’s better suited to photographs and large hero images where fast page load matters more than pixel-perfect edges.
| Use case | Better format | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Logos & icons | PNG | Sharp edges, supports transparency |
| Photographs | JPG | Much smaller file at similar visual quality |
| Screenshots for docs | PNG → JPG | Convert to shrink size once transparency isn’t needed |
| Website hero images | JPG | Faster page load, lower bandwidth |
| Images with text/UI | PNG | Avoids compression artifacts around edges |
When should you use PNG or JPG?
Use PNG when you need transparency, crisp text, logos, icons, or screenshots. Choose JPG for photographs and large website images where a smaller file size is more important than transparency. If transparency isn’t required, converting PNG to JPG is usually the better option.
Why convert PNG to JPG?
- Smaller file sizes that save storage space
- Faster-loading websites and better page speed scores
- Easier email attachments that avoid size limits
- Quicker, smoother uploads to social media
Frequently asked questions
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion happens locally in your browser using the Canvas API. Your PNG never leaves your device, and nothing is stored anywhere.
Will converting change the image dimensions?
No. This tool only changes the file format — it does not crop, resize, or stretch the image.
What happens to transparent areas in my PNG?
JPG doesn’t support transparency. With “Add white background” enabled, transparent areas are filled with white before conversion; otherwise most browsers fill them with black by default.
Is there a file size limit?
The tool works with any PNG your browser can load. Very large images just take a little longer, since everything is processed on your own device.
Does this work on mobile phones?
Yes — the layout and controls are fully responsive and work on modern mobile browsers.
