Convert PNG to JPG online, free
A photograph saved as a PNG is almost always far larger than it needs to be. PNG stores every pixel exactly, which is the right choice for a logo or a screenshot and the wrong one for a photo — and it is why a picture that arrives as a PNG can be many times the size of the same picture as a JPG with no visible difference. Converting to JPG is usually the single fastest way to make an image small enough to email, upload, or put on a page.
Choosing a quality level
Three levels cover the decision without making you guess at a number. Best quality stays as close to the source as JPEG allows, for archiving or anything headed to print. Recommended is the default and shows no visible loss on a normal photograph — it is the right answer unless you have a reason to move. Smallest file trades a little sharpness for the smallest result, which is what you want for email attachments and web pages where every kilobyte counts.
What happens to transparency
This is the one real catch, and it is worth understanding before you convert. JPEG has no alpha channel at all — the format simply cannot store a transparent pixel. Transparent areas in your PNG are filled with white here. That matters most for logos, stickers, and screenshots with rounded corners: if the design assumed a transparent background, the JPG will show white where the background used to be. If you need the transparency to survive, JPG is the wrong destination and there is a better one below.
Colours that stay consistent
The colour profile in your PNG is kept by default rather than discarded, so the JPG looks like the file you uploaded instead of drifting. If the image is going on the web, switch to Convert to sRGB and it will render the same way in every browser rather than depending on how each one interprets an unfamiliar profile.
Converting a folder at a time
Upload up to 100 PNGs at once from your device, Google Drive, or a direct URL. Original filenames are kept so a batch comes back organised. Files are deleted from the servers within an hour, and you can delete any of them yourself immediately.
What you get
- A dramatically smaller file than the PNG you uploaded
- Three clear quality levels instead of an arbitrary number
- Transparent areas filled with white rather than turned black or rejected
- Your colour profile kept, or converted cleanly to sRGB for the web
- Up to 100 files per batch with original filenames preserved
- No account, no watermark, and files deleted within an hour
What's next?
If the transparency mattered after all, Convert PNG to WebP shrinks the file while keeping the alpha channel intact. Need to go back the other way for a lossless master? Convert JPG to PNG does that. And if the JPG is still larger than you need, Compress JPG takes it down further without changing format.
