PNG to JPG Converter

PNG to JPG Converter turns a PNG into a JPEG. This is the conversion people reach for when a file is too large to email, too large to upload, or rejected by a form that only accepts JPEG.

The saving is usually dramatic for photographs. A PNG stores every pixel exactly; a JPEG approximates, discarding detail the eye is poor at noticing. For a photograph that trade is almost invisible and the file often ends up five or ten times smaller. For a screenshot, a logo or anything with sharp edges and flat colour, the same trade produces visible smudging around the edges, and PNG was the better choice to begin with.

Transparency needs a decision. JPEG has no alpha channel at all, so anything transparent has to become a solid colour. This page lets you choose which colour, defaulting to white, and tells you when the image you chose actually has transparent areas, so the result is never a surprise.

The conversion happens inside your browser using the canvas API. The file is read from your device, drawn, and read back out in the new format. It is never sent to a server, which means there is no upload wait, no queue, no file size limit imposed by someone else's hosting, and nothing of yours sitting on a stranger's disk afterwards.
