Why Convert PNG to JPG?

PNG is ideal for screenshots and graphics, but overkill for photos. A 5 MB PNG photo becomes 500 KB as JPG with imperceptible quality difference. Many upload forms have file size limits that PNG photos exceed but JPG photos don't.

Quality Note

PNG to JPG is a lossless-to-lossy conversion. At quality 85%, the visual difference is negligible for photographs. File sizes typically drop 60-90%. Important: JPG doesn't support transparency — transparent areas become white.

Frequently Asked Questions

JPG doesn't support transparency. Transparent pixels are filled with a white background. If you need transparency, keep the PNG or convert to WEBP instead.

Keep PNG for screenshots with text, logos, icons, graphics with sharp edges, or any image where you need transparency or pixel-perfect accuracy.

For photographs, JPG at quality 85% is typically 60-90% smaller than PNG. For graphics with flat colors, the savings are more modest.

More than photographs will. JPG's compression produces faint ringing around the hard black-on-white edges typical of screenshots, diagrams and text. Keep PNG for those, and use JPG for photographic content where the artefacts are invisible.
