PNG stores every pixel exactly, which is perfect for a logo but wasteful for a photo or a full-colour screenshot. Converting to JPG shrinks those images to a fraction of the size — right here in your browser, with nothing uploaded.

How much smaller the JPG will be

The saving is large for anything photographic. A 1920×1080 desktop screenshot saved as PNG is often around 1.8 MB; the same shot re-encoded as JPG at quality 85 drops to roughly 300 KB — small enough to attach to an email or paste into a chat without waiting on the upload.

Full photos free up even more room. A 24-bit PNG at 3000×2000 pixels commonly lands near 10–12 MB, while the JPG at quality 90 falls to about 1.3–1.6 MB with no difference most people can see at normal size. The exception is flat graphics with only a few colours: a simple icon can come out larger as JPG than as PNG, so for those the PNG is worth keeping.

When to convert, and when to keep the PNG

JPG is lossy, so it drops the detail your eye is least sensitive to. On a photograph at quality 85–95 that loss is hard to spot; on sharp text or hard edges it leaves faint halos, and every re-save compounds it. JPG also stores colour at lower resolution than brightness, which is invisible on a photo but can smear fine coloured type. If the image is mostly text or line art, PNG stays the better master.

The other thing JPG cannot do is transparency. PNG can mark pixels as see-through; JPG fills them with a solid colour — white by default. That suits a photo that fills the frame, but a logo meant to sit on a coloured page ends up boxed in white. When you need a small file and transparency together, convert to WEBP instead.

Everything happens in your browser

Your image is decoded, re-encoded as JPG, and handed straight back on this page. It is never sent to a server, so a screenshot of a bank statement or a personal photo stays on your own machine — close the tab and nothing is left behind. Because the work runs on your device rather than over a network, speed depends on your own hardware: a handful of images convert in about the time it takes to pick them, and a large batch is limited by memory rather than an upload queue.

Frequently asked questions

What quality setting should I choose?
For photos, quality 85 is a good default — close to the original at a fraction of the size. Push to 92–95 if the image will be printed or cropped later, or drop to 75 for the smallest possible web thumbnail. The slider on this page updates the resulting file size as you move it, so you can trade sharpness against size for the specific image instead of guessing.
Can I convert several PNGs at once?
Yes. Add multiple files and each one is converted and offered back separately, so you can clear a folder of screenshots in a single pass. Since the work runs on your own hardware, a very large set is limited by your device’s memory rather than an upload queue — convert in groups if the page starts to feel slow.
My converted photo has a white box around it — how do I stop that?
That box is the old transparent area, filled in because JPG has no transparency. No JPG setting keeps it see-through. If you need the transparency, convert the PNG to WEBP instead; if you only want a different backdrop, place the PNG on the colour you want before converting.
Does converting to JPG remove my photo’s metadata?
Re-encoding through the browser canvas drops most embedded metadata, including EXIF fields such as GPS location and camera model. That is usually welcome when you share a photo publicly, but if you rely on that data — for a photo library or a copyright tag — keep the original alongside the JPG.
Is the quality loss permanent?
Yes. JPG discards detail when it saves, and converting the JPG back to PNG cannot recover it — you only get a larger, lossless copy of the already-reduced image. Keep the PNG as your master if you might need to edit or re-export later.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The whole conversion runs in your browser using your device's own processor. Your files are never sent anywhere.
