Why convert PNG to JPEG?

PNG stores every pixel exactly, so a photo saved as PNG is huge. JPEG is built for photos and opens in every app, email client and upload form. Convert a PNG photo and the JPEG usually comes out about 90% smaller.

PNG vs JPEG

PNG keeps every pixel exactly and can be transparent, which suits logos, screenshots and cut-outs. JPEG is far smaller for photos and opens everywhere. Use JPEG for photos, email and upload forms; keep PNG for text, screenshots and anything transparent.

PNG to JPEG: frequently asked questions

Will text and screenshots look worse as JPEG?

Often, yes. JPEG is made for photos. On text, screenshots and sharp-edged graphics it can leave fuzzy edges, and the file can even come out bigger than the PNG. For those, keep the PNG.

What happens to transparent areas?

They turn white, because JPEG can't store transparency. We ask before converting. Need to keep them? Convert to WebP or AVIF instead.

How much smaller will my JPEG be?

Usually about 90% smaller than the PNG you upload, measured on real images converted with TinyPNG. Images that were already compressed save less.

Can I convert JPEG back to PNG?

Yes. Use the swap button, or go to JPG to PNG. Detail removed by compression doesn't come back.

JPG or PNG: which should I use?

JPG for photos: much smaller, and it opens everywhere. PNG for logos, screenshots and cut-outs: it keeps every pixel and supports transparency. A photo saved as PNG is several times bigger than it needs to be, while flat graphics or art may be much smaller and higher quality with PNG. Photos saved as PNG usually shrink by about 90% when converted to JPG, measured on real images converted with TinyPNG. Screenshots and text can get fuzzy edges as JPG, so keep those as PNG.

What does PNG stand for?

Portable Network Graphics, officially pronounced "ping". It was created in 1995 as a free replacement for GIF, whose (LZW) compression was patented at the time, and became a W3C Recommendation on 1 October 1996. It is a lossless image format with full transparency and millions of colours, where GIF is limited to 256. That makes it the usual choice for screenshots, logos and graphics with text, and every browser, phone and computer opens it.

Is PNG lossless?

Yes. A PNG stores every pixel exactly, which is also why the files are large. Our compressor applies lossy compression by reducing the colours, so its result looks the same rather than being pixel-identical.

Are JPG and JPEG the same?

Yes. They are the same format; only the file extension differs. Old Windows only allowed three letters for the file extension, so JPEG became .jpg. Renaming one to the other changes nothing about the file.

Is JPEG lossy?

Yes, always, even at the highest quality setting. Saving a JPEG again can lose a little more detail, so keep your original.

How do I convert PNG to JPEG?

Add your PNGs above, choose JPEG and download the result. It works in your browser on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android, with nothing to install.

What is a PNG file?

A PNG is an image file in the Portable Network Graphics format. It keeps every pixel exactly and supports transparency, so screenshots, logos and cut-outs are usually saved as PNG. Most computers and phones save screenshots as PNG.

Is it free?

Yes. Web Free converts 3 images per session, up to 5 MB each, without an account. Web Pro takes bigger files, and Web Ultra converts as many as you like.

Are my images private?

Yes. We store your images encrypted, download links expire after 8 hours, and we delete your images from our servers within 48 hours.

What happens to the metadata?

We remove all metadata, such as camera details, GPS location and editing history, to keep files small. Want to keep metadata? Use the developer API: it can keep the copyright, creation date and location.
