PNG to JPG — Free

Convert PNG to JPG with control over what replaces the transparency, the quality, and the size. In your browser, with nothing uploaded and no watermark.

Your images never leave this device. Conversion happens in your browser.

People convert PNG to JPG for one of two reasons: the file is too big, or something on the other end will not take a PNG. Both are good reasons. A photograph saved as PNG is often five to ten times larger than the same image as a JPG, with no visible difference at high quality, because PNG stores every pixel exactly while JPG is allowed to approximate.

The one thing that catches people out is transparency. JPG has no alpha channel — it cannot store a see-through pixel at all — so every transparent area has to be filled with something before the image is encoded. Tools that gloss over this let the browser composite against black, which is exactly why a logo with a cut-out background sometimes comes back with a black box around it. Here you choose the colour, and the tool checks each image as you add it so you know whether the setting even applies to yours.

Worth knowing which direction to go: JPG is the right choice for photographs, and the wrong one for logos, screenshots and diagrams, where its compression softens exactly the sharp edges PNG was preserving. Nothing is uploaded either way — the conversion runs entirely in your browser, so the file never leaves your device.

How to convert PNG to JPG

  1. 1. Add your PNG files

    Drag them onto the drop zone or choose from your device. Convert one or a whole batch at once — nothing is uploaded.

  2. 2. Pick a background colour

    JPG cannot store transparency. Anything see-through in the PNG is filled with this colour — white by default. The tool tells you whether your images actually have transparency.

  3. 3. Set the quality

    Maximum is visually lossless and largest. Standard suits photographs on the web. Optionally cap the longest side to resize as you convert.

  4. 4. Convert and download

    Press Convert and the JPG downloads straight away — a single file, or the whole batch as one ZIP.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert PNG to JPG for free? +

Drop the PNG above, choose a background colour and quality, then press Convert — the JPG downloads immediately. There is no account, no batch limit and no watermark, and the file is never uploaded, since conversion happens entirely in your browser.

What happens to transparency when I convert PNG to JPG? +

It has to go, because the JPG format has no alpha channel and simply cannot store it. Every transparent pixel is composited onto a background colour first — white by default here, though you can pick any colour. This is the single most important thing to get right in this conversion: a converter that ignores it lets the browser composite against black, which is why a logo sometimes comes back with a black box around it.

How do I know whether my PNG has transparency? +

The tool checks each image as you add it and tells you. The original is shown on a chequerboard so any see-through areas are visible, and the background control is labelled "needed" or "not needed here" depending on what it found. If your PNG is a screenshot or a photograph it is probably fully opaque, and the background colour will make no difference at all.

Will converting PNG to JPG make the file smaller? +

Usually much smaller, and that is the most common reason to do it. PNG is lossless, so it stores every pixel exactly; JPG approximates, which for a photograph typically cuts the size by 60–90% with no visible difference at high quality. The saving is far smaller for flat graphics, screenshots and line art — and for those, JPG can actually look worse, because its compression softens the sharp edges PNG keeps crisp.

Does converting to JPG reduce the quality? +

Yes, in principle — JPG is a lossy format, so some information is discarded. How visible that is depends entirely on the quality setting and the image. At Maximum the loss is not visible at normal viewing size. At Standard it is still hard to spot on a photograph but becomes noticeable around small text and hard edges. The conversion is also one-way: quality lost cannot be recovered by converting back to PNG later.

Can I convert a batch of PNGs at once? +

Yes. Add as many as you like and they all convert with the same background, quality and resize settings. The whole set downloads as a single ZIP, and each image also has its own download link if you only want one of them.

Can I resize the images while converting? +

Yes. Tick "Limit the longest side" and give a pixel value — anything larger is scaled down proportionally, and anything already smaller is left alone. Useful when the PNGs came off a high-resolution screen or camera and the destination has a size limit.

Should I convert PNG to JPG at all? +

Convert when the image is a photograph, when file size matters, or when something you are uploading to will not accept PNG. Keep the PNG when the image has transparency you need, when it is a logo, screenshot or diagram with sharp edges, or when you will keep editing and re-saving it — repeated JPG saves compound the compression loss each time.

Are my images uploaded anywhere? +

No. Every image is decoded, flattened and re-encoded entirely inside your browser. Nothing is transmitted. That makes it safe for anything you would not upload to an unknown server — product images before launch, document scans, private pictures. Once the page has loaded it works offline.

Does this remove EXIF and location data? +

Yes, as a side effect of how the conversion works. The image is redrawn from raw pixels and re-encoded, which does not carry metadata across, so camera details, timestamps and GPS coordinates are not present in the JPG.

Will there be a watermark on the JPG files? +

No. The output is your image as a JPG, nothing added. There is no watermark, no badge, and no paid tier that removes one.
