How it works

Three steps. No upload, no signup.

  1. 1

    Drop your file

    Click the dropzone above or drag a PNG from your desktop. Files of any size, there's no upload, so there's no upload limit.

  2. 2

    Convert in your browser

    The conversion runs entirely in this tab using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your file never touches our servers, we don't have any.

  3. 3

    Download

    Get your JPG the moment the conversion finishes. Convert another, or close the tab.

Files stay on your device

Your file is never uploaded. The entire conversion runs in your browser using WebAssembly. We can't see what you convert because we have no server to see it.

No file size limit

Server converters cap free users at 1-2 GB and gate larger files behind a paid plan. Since nothing uploads, our limit is whatever your browser can handle.

Free, no signup, no ads on conversions

No account required. No watermark on the output. No queue. Drop a file, get a converted file.

Why convert PNG → JPG

What this conversion is actually for

PNG photos are often 5-10x larger than they need to be. JPG re-compresses photographic content to a fraction of the size with no visible quality loss at high quality settings. Convert when you're uploading photos somewhere with a size cap (job application portals, government forms, older email systems) or shrinking a folder of screenshots-of-photos.

A real example

You exported 40 product photos as PNG from Figma, 180MB total. The supplier portal rejects anything over 50MB. Convert to JPG here; the same 40 images come out around 12MB with no visible difference at typical viewing size.

Troubleshooting

Transparent areas turned black (or white).

JPG has no transparency channel, so transparent pixels must be flattened onto a solid background. We composite onto white by default. If your PNG had transparency and you need it preserved, JPG is the wrong target, use WebP (`png-to-webp`) which keeps the alpha channel.

Text/lines look fuzzy after conversion.

JPG's DCT compression smears sharp high-contrast edges (text, UI lines, diagrams). That content should stay PNG. JPG is only the right choice for photographs. If you must use JPG for a screenshot, it'll never look as crisp as the PNG.

Formats involved

About PNG and JPG

PNG, Portable Network Graphics

PNG is a lossless image format, the file size is larger than JPG, but every pixel is preserved exactly. It supports full transparency (alpha channel), which JPG cannot. Created in 1996 specifically as a patent-free replacement for GIF, PNG is the standard for screenshots, logos, icons, UI graphics, and any image that needs sharp text or transparent backgrounds.

How to open

Universal support, every OS, browser, and image editor reads PNG. macOS Preview, Windows Photos, and any web browser open PNGs without any conversion step.

JPG, Joint Photographic Experts Group

JPG (also written JPEG) is the most widely used photo format on the web. The format dates to 1992 and uses lossy compression, discarding image detail in exchange for dramatically smaller files. It can't carry transparency. Modern alternatives like WebP and AVIF compress 25-50% better at the same visual quality, but JPG remains the universal compatibility default: every browser, OS, and image editor in existence reads it.

How to open

Every operating system opens JPG natively, double-click on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, or Android and the system viewer launches. Browsers render JPGs inline. Image editors (Photoshop, GIMP, Affinity Photo, Pixelmator, Photopea in the browser) all read and write JPG.

FAQ

Common questions

Is this PNG → JPG converter really free?

Yes. No signup, no watermark, no daily file count limit. Every conversion runs in your browser, your file never touches our servers because there are no servers.

Where does my file go when I convert it?

Nowhere. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your file is never uploaded to our servers. We don't have any servers handling files, there's nothing for us to log, store, or accidentally leak.

What's the maximum file size?

Whatever your browser can hold in memory. Practically, this means a few hundred MB on most computers, significantly larger than the 1-2 GB caps that server-upload converters charge for. Very large files (multi-GB) may require closing other browser tabs first.

Why convert PNG to JPG?

Screenshots, logos, UI graphics, and any image needing transparency. Photographs and any web image where transparency isn't needed. The most common reason to convert is compatibility, JPG works in places where PNG doesn't, or vice versa.

How do I open a PNG file in the first place?

Universal support, every OS, browser, and image editor reads PNG. macOS Preview, Windows Photos, and any web browser open PNGs without any conversion step.

Does this work offline?

Once the page is loaded, the conversion itself runs entirely offline. The first time you use a tool, your browser downloads the conversion library (a one-time cache). If you reload while offline, the page won't load, but you can install the site as a Progressive Web App for full offline use.

Can I convert multiple files at once?

Single file at a time for now. Batch conversion is on the roadmap, for now, drop one file, download the result, then convert the next.
