Why convert PNG to JPG?
Almost everyone doing this conversion has hit a size limit. A full-screen grab on a modern display is easily 5 to 8 MB as a PNG, and job application forms, government portals and email attachments routinely cap out below that.
The size difference is not a small optimisation. The same screenshot as a JPG is often under a tenth of the size, because JPG is allowed to approximate and PNG is not.
The one case where this is the wrong move is a screenshot full of small text. JPG compression works by discarding fine detail, and small text is fine detail. Read the next section before converting a screenshot someone has to read.
What changes in the file
- Transparency is lost. PNG can store a transparent background and JPG cannot, so those areas turn white. On a screenshot this rarely matters; on a logo it ruins it.
- Sharp edges get slightly fuzzy. Look closely at text and thin lines and you will find faint smudging around them. This is inherent to JPG, not a setting.
- The file gets dramatically smaller, which is the whole point of the conversion.
How to convert
- Check that JPG is the selected format above. It is picked for you on this page.
- Drop your PNG images into the box, or click it to browse.
- Download the result. It never left your device.
Frequently asked questions
Will my screenshot still be readable?
Body text and interface labels survive fine. Very small text, code at a low zoom level, and thin coloured lines on a coloured background are where it starts to show. If someone has to read the text carefully, keep it a PNG and shrink it another way.
How much smaller will it get?
For a typical screenshot, somewhere between five and fifteen times smaller. Photographs saved as PNG shrink even more dramatically.
What if my PNG has a transparent background?
It comes out white. If you need the transparency kept, convert to WebP instead, which is both small and able to store it.
Other conversions
- PNG to WebP Smaller than PNG, and transparency still survives.
- HEIC to JPG The iPhone photo that Windows refuses to open.
- WebP to JPG The image you saved from a website that nothing will open.
- AVIF to JPG The newest web format, turned into the one everything reads.
Or open the image converter to pick any combination, and the image compressor when the problem is size rather than format.
