What happens when you convert PNG to JPG
- JPG uses lossy compression, so files get much smaller. Use the Quality slider to balance size and detail.
- JPG has no transparency, so transparent areas are filled with a background color you choose (white by default).

Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to convert my files here?
Yes. Conversion happens entirely in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to a server, so nobody else can see them.
Is it free? Are there limits?
It's completely free, with no sign-up, watermarks or daily limits. The only limit is your device's memory for very large files.
Can I convert many PNG files at once?
Yes. Drop as many files as you like; they're converted one after another and you can download them all as a ZIP.
Will converting PNG to JPG reduce quality?
JPG is lossy, so some fine detail is removed to make the file smaller. At the default quality it's hard to see; raise the Quality slider to keep more.
Does JPG keep transparency?
JPG doesn't support transparency, so transparent areas are filled with a background color you can choose.
