Convert PNG to JPG

For photographs, PNG is the wrong container — it stores photos losslessly and produces huge files, and converting those to JPG routinely cuts 70–90% of the size. Keep logos, line art and anything transparent in PNG or WebP though: JPG blurs sharp edges and fills transparency with white.

How it works

Drag in the PNGs that are really photographs — screenshots of photos, scans, exports that ballooned — or paste from the clipboard.

Each file re-encodes at quality 85 on your machine; the size column shows the 70–90% cut as it happens.

If an image carries transparency, remember JPG will paint it white — adjust the slider per file, then download individually or as a zip.

PNG vs JPG

On photographs the verdict is lopsided: JPG stores the same visible image in 10–30% of PNG’s bytes, so photos parked in PNG are simply renting disk space. The verdict flips for graphics — text, line art, transparency — where PNG’s exactness is the entire point.
