How to Convert PNG to JPG (and Keep It Looking Good)

Convert PNG images to JPG to make them smaller and more compatible. Learn what happens to transparency, which quality to choose and when to keep PNG.

PNG is great for graphics, but PNG photos can be enormous, and some websites and forms only accept JPG. Converting PNG to JPG fixes both problems in seconds.

How to convert PNG to JPG

  1. Open the PNG to JPG converter.
  2. Add one or more PNG files.
  3. Choose a quality (85–92% is a good default).
  4. Pick a background color for any transparent areas.
  5. Click Convert images and download your JPGs — individually or as a ZIP.

## Handling transparency

JPG doesn't support transparency. When you convert a PNG with a transparent background — a logo, a product cut-out, a sticker — the transparent pixels must become a solid color:

  • White works for most documents and white web pages.
  • Match the background color of your website if the image will sit on a colored section.

If you need to keep the transparency, don't convert to JPG. Use PNG or convert to WebP instead with the WebP Converter.

Choosing the quality

Quality Result
95–100% Almost identical to PNG, but larger files
85–92% Excellent quality, much smaller — recommended
70–80% Smaller still, fine for web photos
Below 60% Visible artifacts, especially around text

When to keep PNG

Convert when your PNG contains a photo or a complex image. Keep PNG for:

  • screenshots with small text,
  • logos and icons with flat colors,
  • images you'll keep editing,
  • anything that needs transparency.

Conclusion

PNG to JPG conversion is the quickest way to shrink photo-like PNGs and make them compatible with every upload form. Choose your background color carefully when transparency is involved, and keep PNG for crisp graphics.

Frequently asked questions

Why convert PNG to JPG?

JPG files are usually much smaller for photos and are accepted everywhere, including forms that don't allow PNG.

What happens to the transparent background?

JPG can't store transparency, so transparent areas are filled with a solid color you choose — white by default.

Will my text look blurry?

At high quality (90% or more) text usually stays clear. For screenshots with small text, PNG may still be better.
