Convert PNG to JPG

PNG to JPG converter that runs entirely in your browser. 100% free, no signup, no upload — your files never leave your device. One-click batch conversion.

Converting PNG to JPG trims file size by 50–90% by dropping the alpha channel and using lossy compression tuned for photos. Pick it when you no longer need transparency — for photo sharing, email, and web uploads — but keep the original PNG if your logo, screenshot, or graphic still needs alpha.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is converting PNG to JPG free?

Yes. This PNG → JPG converter runs entirely in your browser and is completely free — no account, no credits, no watermark.

Which devices and platforms can I use to convert PNG to JPG?

Any modern device with a current web browser: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iPhone and iPad. There is nothing to install — the conversion happens locally.

Are my PNG files uploaded to a server?

No. Files never leave your device. The entire PNG → JPG conversion runs locally in your browser, so your data stays private.

Can I convert multiple PNG files at once?

Yes — batch conversion is supported. Add as many PNG files as you like and convert them to JPG in one pass, then download the results together.

What is the maximum file size?

There is no fixed server-side limit because the conversion happens in your browser. Practical limits depend on the available memory and CPU of your device.

Will I lose quality converting PNG to JPG?

Yes — JPG uses lossy compression, so the converted file will discard some information from your lossless PNG. Choose a high quality setting to minimise the visible loss.

Will transparent areas of my PNG file be kept in JPG?

No — JPG does not support transparency. Transparent areas of your PNG file will be flattened onto a solid background colour during conversion.

Will the converted JPG file be smaller than the PNG?

Usually yes. Converting from a lossless or uncompressed format to a lossy one dramatically reduces file size. Typical savings range from 50% to 90%, depending on the quality setting you choose.
