PNG to JPG Converter
Convert PNG images to JPG quickly and learn what changes in quality, transparency, and file size.
PNG vs JPG
PNG is lossless and supports transparency. JPG is lossy and does not support transparency.
Typical size trend
For photos, JPG is often smaller. For logos/text graphics, PNG can keep cleaner edges.
Recommended JPG quality settings
80-90% quality is a good default for web use - it keeps most visual detail while meaningfully reducing file size compared to PNG. Drop to 60-75% for thumbnails or previews where file size matters more than fine detail.
When to use JPG vs PNG
Use JPG for photos, screenshots with gradients, or any image without transparency where smaller file size matters. Keep PNG for logos, icons, and graphics with text or a transparent background.
