Why convert images to JPEG?

JPEG opens in every app, browser, email client and upload form, which is why many sites and shops ask for it. Photos saved as PNG usually come out about 90% smaller, and iPhone photos in HEIC about half the size. WebP and AVIF files get a little bigger, because they store images more efficiently than JPEG.

JPEG vs PNG

JPEG is made for photos and opens everywhere, so use it for email, upload forms and anything you share. PNG keeps sharp edges and transparency, which suits logos, screenshots and cut-outs, but a photo saved as PNG is large.

“While there are other ways to achieve a 70% reduction in image size, TinyPNG is the easiest and fastest method I’ve found. Plus, it doesn’t alter the image file names, which is great for maintaining SEO integrity.”

Converting to JPEG: frequently asked questions

How much smaller will my JPEG be?

It depends on what you upload. A PNG photo usually comes out about 90% smaller and an iPhone HEIC photo about half the size. WebP and AVIF store images more efficiently than JPEG, so they grow: measured on real images converted with TinyPNG, a WebP usually comes out about 1.2 times the size and an AVIF about 1.6 times.

Which formats can I convert to JPEG?

PNG, WebP, AVIF, JPEG XL and HEIC, in any mix. Every file comes out as a JPEG.

Will my images lose quality?

A WebP, AVIF, HEIC or JPEG XL was already compressed and JPEG compresses again, so a little detail goes. At normal viewing sizes it is hard to spot.

What happens to transparent areas?

JPEG can't store transparency, so they become white. We ask first. Need to keep them? Convert to PNG, WebP, AVIF or JPEG XL instead.

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.

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.

Is HEIC better than JPG?

HEIC stores photos in less space, which is why iPhones use it, but JPG opens everywhere. Converted to JPG here, iPhone photos usually come out about half the size of the HEIC, measured on real images converted with TinyPNG.

How do I convert images to JPEG?

Add your images 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 JPG file?

A JPG file is a photo saved in the JPEG format, named after the Joint Photographic Experts Group. It keeps photos small by dropping detail the eye barely notices, which is why it is lossy, and it has no transparency. Cameras, phones, websites and email all use it, and every browser, app and email client opens it.

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.
