About the PNG to JPG

PNG is Portable Network Graphics. Lossless, with full alpha transparency. Perfect for screenshots, logos, diagrams and anything with hard edges or flat colour. Large for photographs — it stores every pixel exactly, and a photograph has no repeating detail to compress.

JPG is JPEG. Built for photographs. Its compression discards detail the eye is least sensitive to, so a photo can drop by 90% with no visible change. No transparency at all, and it puts visible halos around hard edges — which makes it the wrong choice for text, logos and screenshots.

What changes in this conversion: JPG has no transparency. Anything transparent in your PNG will be filled with a solid colour — white unless you choose otherwise. PNG is lossless and JPG is not, so this conversion discards detail permanently. Keep the original if you may need to edit it later.

The whole conversion happens on a canvas in your own browser. The file is read from disk with the File API, decoded, redrawn and re-encoded locally, so it is never uploaded and there is no size limit beyond your device's memory.

How it works

  1. Drop in a PNG file — it is read by your browser, not uploaded.

  2. It is decoded and re-encoded as JPG on your own device.

  3. Download the result. Nothing is stored anywhere.
