Drop the PNG file into the box above, set the output format to JPG, and download the result: that is how to convert PNG to JPG on this page, at quality 80 by default, EXIF stripped automatically, no signup needed for files up to 25 MB and batches up to 30 images.
Most PNG files that need to become JPG did not start life as a graphic. A phone screenshot, a camera app, or a design tool exported a photo as PNG by default, and PNG has to store every pixel exactly, so a photographic PNG routinely runs several times heavier than the same photo saved as JPEG for no visible difference at normal size. JPG is also still the format most upload forms, print vendors, and older software expect, so the fix is rarely about editing the image, just changing how it is stored. For the full picture on what PNG does under the hood, see the guide to PNG.
How to Convert PNG to JPG
Drag the PNG file onto the box above, or click to pick it, and set the output format to JPG before you download. There is nothing to install. This PNG to JPG converter runs right in your browser. At quality 80 the re-encoded JPG looks the same as the source at normal zoom, and EXIF data is stripped the moment the file comes back, no setting to find.
Three defaults do the whole job: quality 80, JPG as the target, EXIF gone. Re-running the same file at a different quality or output format afterward never costs anything extra, and every converted file downloads straight back to your device.
Why a PNG Photo Runs So Much Bigger Than It Needs To
PNG compression is lossless: decode the file and you get back the exact pixels that went in, which is exactly why it exists for screenshots, logos, and anything with hard edges or transparency. That same guarantee works against it on a photograph, since a camera image is full of soft gradients and JPEG's lossy encoding is built specifically to throw away the detail a screen cannot show anyway.
The site's own demo file makes the mechanism concrete even though it starts from a JPEG, not a PNG: a 497 KB JPG re-encoded to 214 KB WebP at quality 80, a 56.9 percent cut, is quality 80 discarding detail a JPEG had already compressed once. A photographic PNG hands quality 80 a bigger job, since a lossless file never discarded anything to begin with, so converting one to JPG at the same setting routinely produces a similar drop, sometimes bigger, because there was more redundant pixel data left to remove.
What Happens to Transparency When You Convert
JPG has no alpha channel, so any transparent area in the PNG has to become an actual color once the conversion runs, almost always white, since that is the safest default when a converter cannot see what background the image is heading to next. A logo or icon exported with a transparent background comes back as a JPG with a plain white box behind the artwork, fine for a print form, jarring on anything with a dark background.
| Source PNG type | What quality 80 does to it | Transparency |
|---|---|---|
| Photographic PNG (camera or screenshot) | Comes back meaningfully smaller; JPEG discards detail invisible at normal zoom | Lost, turns white |
| Flat-color icon or logo PNG | Size change is smaller in absolute terms since there is less pixel detail to discard | Lost, turns white |
| Screenshot with small text or UI lines | Text stays legible at quality 80; only drop quality further if a byte target forces it | Lost, turns white |
If keeping transparency matters more than universal compatibility, converting to WebP instead gets you closer to the original: WebP supports an alpha channel and still runs 25 to 35 percent smaller than an equivalent JPEG. That path is the PNG to WebP converter, same page, same quality-80 default, output format set to WebP instead of JPG.
Converting a Folder of Screenshots for Docs or a Blog Post
Screenshots default to PNG on most operating systems, and a full page or a UI walkthrough often means a dozen or more of them for one article or one support ticket. None of that content usually needs transparency, so the alpha-channel tradeoff above rarely applies here, only the size one does: a screenshot-heavy PNG folder converted to JPG at quality 80 typically comes back a fraction of the size, small enough that a documentation page or a blog post loads noticeably faster.
Batch up to 30 of them here in one upload instead of converting each screenshot on its own, and every file in the batch gets the same quality-80 setting so a whole walkthrough stays visually consistent start to finish. If one screenshot has small text or a thin UI line you need pixel-perfect, keep that file as PNG instead and compress it directly: quality 80 rarely softens an edge, but pixel-perfect text is the one case where PNG's exactness earns its larger size.
What It Costs, and Where the Limits Are
No account needed on this page: up to 25 MB per file, 30 files a batch, as many times as you come back. A free account raises that to 100 images a month with a usage dashboard. Converting a batch of screenshots or product photos for work, or need the API? Pro is 12 dollars a month flat, 10,000 images, files up to 50 MB, batches of 100, no per-image fee at any volume. Re-converting a file you already uploaded, at a different quality or a different format, never counts against the total twice.
| Plan | Per file | Per batch | Monthly cap |
|---|---|---|---|
| No signup | 25 MB | 30 images | none applied |
| Free account | 25 MB | 30 images | 100 images |
| Pro, 12 dollars a month | 50 MB | 100 images | 10,000 images |
Full tiers are on the pricing page, and developers can point their own conversion code at the same engine through the API reference.
Where Your File Goes Afterward
It gets deleted. Files dropped into the browser tool are removed within an hour, on a sweep that runs every 15 minutes, and the only way to reach one before that is a signed link that expires in 15 minutes on its own, never a public bucket. Every file also gets its EXIF data stripped automatically regardless of format, the hidden metadata a camera or app writes in, including GPS coordinates and a timestamp. Nothing uploaded here trains a model or gets looked at by anyone.
