# Convert PNG to JPG

Convert PNG images to JPG in your browser. Choose the quality level and the background colour that replaces transparency. Free, private, no upload.

### What changes when you convert
Dramatically smaller files: PNG is lossless, so it stores every pixel exactly and photographs end up enormous. JPG throws away detail the eye barely registers, and for a photograph that routinely means a file five to ten times smaller with no visible difference at a sensible quality setting.

Transparency has to go somewhere: JPG has no alpha channel at all. Any transparent area must be filled with a solid colour, and if a converter does not ask you which colour it will silently pick one — usually black, which looks broken on a light page. This tool makes it an explicit choice.

Quality is a real trade-off: The quality slider decides how aggressively detail is discarded. Around 90% is visually indistinguishable from the original for most photos. Below roughly 70% you start seeing blocky artefacts around edges and in flat areas of colour, especially in skies.

When to keep the PNG instead: Logos, screenshots, line art, and anything with sharp edges or large flat colour areas look worse as JPG — the compression smears text and creates halos around crisp lines. Convert photographs; keep graphics as PNG, or use WebP to get both.

Nothing is uploaded: The conversion runs locally on canvas in your browser. There is no upload step, no queue, and no copy of your image sitting on a server afterwards — which matters for client work and anything unpublished.

### How to convert PNG to JPG
1. Upload your PNG — Drop the file in. It is read locally in your browser and never sent anywhere.
2. Pick a background — JPG cannot store transparency, so choose the colour that fills any transparent areas. White suits most pages.
3. Set the quality — Start at 92%. Drop it further only if you need a smaller file and can accept some softening.
4. Download the JPG — Save the converted file at full resolution.

### When PNG to JPG is the right call
- Faster web pages: Photographs served as PNG are a common and costly page-speed mistake.
- Email attachments: Get a large photo comfortably under a mailbox size limit.
- Upload restrictions: Plenty of forms and portals accept JPG only.
- Print submissions: Some print workflows expect JPG rather than PNG.
- Documents and decks: Stop a PDF or presentation ballooning because of lossless photos.

### Frequently asked questions
Q: Will converting to JPG lose quality?
A: Yes, by design — JPG is lossy. At 90% and above the loss is essentially invisible on photographs. The important point is that it is permanent: converting back to PNG later will not restore the discarded detail, so keep your original.

Q: What happens to transparent areas?
A: They are filled with the background colour you choose, because JPG has no alpha channel. If you need transparency preserved, convert to WebP instead — it supports both transparency and lossy compression.

Q: How much smaller will the file be?
A: For photographs, typically five to ten times smaller. For flat graphics and logos the saving is much smaller and the quality cost much higher, which is why those are better left as PNG.

Q: What quality setting should I use?
A: 92% is a good default. Use 80–85% when file size matters more than pixel-perfect fidelity. Going below 70% produces visible blocking, particularly in skies and other smooth gradients.

Q: Is my image uploaded to a server?
A: No. The conversion happens entirely in your browser, so the file never leaves your machine.

Q: Can I convert several images at once?
A: Not currently — the tool handles one image at a time so you can check the quality setting against each result. For a batch, repeat the process; the settings persist while the tab is open.
