Image format conversion
Convert PNG to JPG
Turn a PNG into a JPG without installing anything or uploading your file. Load the image in the editor, pick JPG as the export format, set the quality while watching the estimated file size, and download the result — the whole conversion runs in your browser.
How the conversion works here
The editor does not have a separate "convert" mode — conversion is part of the normal export. Load your PNG, leave the canvas the way it is (no crop is required), then use the export panel next to the preview: choose JPG in the format selector, move the quality slider while the live estimate shows the resulting file size in MB, and press download. The downloaded file uses the editor's output canvas dimensions, which may differ from the original image's pixel dimensions. The filename follows the editor's usual naming pattern of name-width×height.jpg.
Because the conversion happens on the spot from the loaded image, it is also a chance to make small fixes in the same pass: rotate, straighten the crop, or adjust brightness before you commit to the JPG.
Mind the transparency
JPG has no transparency channel. If your PNG has see-through areas — a logo, a sticker, a cut-out product — decide what should sit behind them before exporting: pick a background color in the editor so the JPG gets a clean, deliberate backdrop. A transparent PNG exported straight to JPG is filled with the editor's currently selected background color — a dark charcoal by default — so the result is deterministic, but rarely the look you want without choosing the color first. Note that the editor's exports currently always apply this background fill: JPG, PNG, and WebP outputs are fully opaque, and the editor does not offer a transparency-preserving export. If you need the transparency kept, work from the original PNG outside the editor.
Choosing a quality level
JPG is lossy: lower quality means a smaller file at the cost of compression artifacts. The quality slider's live MB estimate turns this from guesswork into a trade you can see. Photos usually survive a moderate quality setting with no visible damage, while flat-color graphics and screenshots stay clean much longer. Already have a JPEG that just needs to be smaller? Compress it directly instead. After downloading, open the file and check the areas with fine detail or sharp edges — that is where artifacts show first.
Quick workflow
- Load the PNG.
Click the preview or the upload control and pick the file — it stays on your device. - Set the background if needed.
Give transparent areas a deliberate backdrop color before exporting. - Choose JPG and set quality.
Watch the MB estimate and stop lowering once the size is comfortably small. - Download and inspect.
Open the result and look closely at edges, text, and flat areas.
Common questions
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. The editor runs entirely in your browser: the PNG is read locally, converted in memory, and saved straight back to your device.
Can I convert many files at once?
Not in one pass. The editor works on a single image at a time. To create another size from the same image, choose a different preset and press Download image again.
Why does my JPG look worse than the PNG?
That is JPG compression, not a mistake in the conversion. Every JPG save discards some detail; raising the quality level keeps more of it at the cost of a larger file. If the difference is unacceptable for graphics with sharp edges, staying with PNG or using WebP output is the better trade.
