PNG to JPG Converter: Free & Private
A PNG is too big to email, upload, or attach. Convert it here, in your browser, with nothing uploaded anywhere.
Why convert PNG to JPG?
PNG is lossless, which is wonderful for graphics and wasteful for photographs. A photo saved as PNG is routinely five to ten times larger than the same picture as a JPG at a quality nobody can tell apart. If you are hitting an attachment limit or a form's file-size cap, this is almost always the fix, and compressing to a target size will finish the job on the rare occasion it is not.
The catch worth knowing about
JPG has no alpha channel. Any transparent area in the PNG has to become a solid colour, and we composite onto white, the same choice every browser and email client makes. If your image has a transparent background you actually need, convert to WebP instead, which keeps the alpha channel and still comes out far smaller than the PNG.
One tip before you start
Screenshots of text are the exception: they often look worse and compress no better as JPG. Keep those as PNG.
