How to Convert PNG to JPG
Learn how to convert PNG images to JPG format and when JPG can be a better choice for smaller image files.
Why convert PNG to JPG?
PNG is useful when image quality and transparency are important, but PNG files can be relatively large. JPG is often more suitable for photographs and situations where a smaller file size is preferred.
Converting PNG to JPG can make an image easier to share, store, or upload to websites that prefer JPG files.
How to convert PNG to JPG
Select the PNG image you want to convert.
Start the conversion and allow your browser to process the image.
Download the resulting JPG image when the conversion is complete.
Things to know before converting
JPG does not support transparent backgrounds. If your PNG contains transparency, the transparent areas may need to be represented by a solid background in the resulting JPG.
Because JPG uses lossy compression, the converted image may not contain exactly the same image data as the original PNG.

Will the JPG file be smaller?
