  • Why Convert PNG to JPG?


    **File size**: PNG uses lossless compression — great for quality, but file sizes are enormous for photos. A 1200×800 photo PNG might be 3–4 MB. The same image as a JPEG at quality 80? 200–400 KB.


    **Compatibility**: JPEG is supported by every device, browser, email client, and platform on earth.


    **Email attachments**: Many email servers reject attachments over 5 MB. Converting a PNG photo to JPEG gets it well under the limit.


    When NOT to Convert PNG to JPG


    **Logos and icons**: PNG preserves sharp edges and transparency. Converting a logo to JPEG introduces compression artifacts and removes the transparent background entirely.


    **Screenshots with text**: Text in JPEG suffers from ringing artifacts around each character. Keep screenshots as PNG.


    **Images with transparency**: JPEG doesn't support transparent backgrounds. Use PNG or WEBP for transparent images.

    PNG to WEBP: An Even Better Alternative


    If your target platform supports WEBP (all modern browsers do), convert PNG to WEBP instead of JPEG. WEBP achieves 25% smaller files than JPEG at equivalent quality, and supports transparency.


    Use our [PNG to WEBP converter](/png-to-webp) for the best of both worlds — smaller than JPG and supports transparency.


    FAQ


    Does converting PNG to JPG lose quality?

    Yes — JPEG uses lossy compression, so some image data is discarded. At quality 80, the loss is barely perceptible for photos.


    Does converting PNG to JPG remove the background?

    Yes — JPEG doesn't support transparency. Any transparent areas become white by default.


    What's the best quality setting?

    Quality 80 is the sweet spot — 65% smaller than the PNG with no visible quality difference for most photos.
