Convert PNG photos to JPEG safely

Convert PNG images to smaller JPG files for web and email.

Open PNG → JPG

When this is useful

A PNG photo can be much heavier than a visually similar JPEG. Converting it is useful for email attachments, product photographs, and publishing systems that require JPEG. Before converting, decide whether transparency, fine text, or a lossless source is important for the final use.

A reliable workflow

JPEG has no alpha channel. This tool fills transparent pixels with white before exporting, so the result can look different on dark backgrounds. Start with a relatively high quality and inspect small text and high-contrast edges, which often reveal compression before large photographic areas do.

Upload a PNG image. Pick JPEG quality. Download the JPG file.

What to check before you finish

Save the original PNG separately, test the downloaded image against the background where it will appear, and compare file sizes. Conversion is not guaranteed to make every file smaller. If the result is still large, resize to the actual display dimensions and compress the resized image once.

Keep the next step simple
