Convert PNG to JPG
Turn a PNG photo into a smaller JPG in your browser. Files stay on this device. Logos that need transparency should stay PNG.
Files are processed in your browser and are not uploaded. Free account: 20 images a day, 10 at a time, 20 MB each.
If you need a different format
Going the other way does not restore detail: JPG to PNG only changes the container. A WebP or AVIF photo uses WebP to JPG or AVIF to JPG. If the PNG is already a reasonable size and you only need new pixel dimensions, resize it instead of converting.

How to convert PNG to JPG
- 1Drop a .png file, or choose several. Screenshots and photos both work; they do not want the same quality.
- 2Leave quality on High for text and screenshots. You can lower it for a photograph you only need to email.
- 3Click Convert to JPG. Transparent pixels are painted white. The file is not uploaded.
- 4Download the .jpg and compare the size with the PNG under the preview.
PNG and JPG are for different pictures
PNG is lossless. It is the right file for logos, diagrams, screenshots with sharp text, and anything with a transparent background. It is a clumsy file for a camera photo: every pixel is stored carefully, so a picture that would be a 1 MB JPEG becomes 8 MB of PNG and looks the same on screen.
JPG (the same format as JPEG) is lossy and built for photographs. Converting a photo-PNG to JPG is one of the few conversions on this site that usually makes the file smaller on purpose. Converting a tiny flat icon can go the other way: JPEG’s overhead is not worth it, and the edges can fuzz. Look at the two sizes before you delete the PNG.
Transparency becomes white
JPG cannot store a hole where a pixel used to be. This tool fills transparent pixels with white, then encodes. A logo that was cut out for use on any background will arrive with a white box. If that is the logo, stop and keep the PNG. If the “transparency” was only a white page you exported by habit, the JPG is what you wanted. The result tells you when a real alpha channel was flattened.
Screenshots and text
A screenshot of a chat, a receipt, or a spreadsheet is full of hard edges. JPEG at a low setting turns those edges into blocks, and the words get harder to read. Use High. If the destination gave you a kilobyte limit, convert at High first and then compress to that limit so you can see how far the text survives. Do not use this page as a background remover, and do not expect JPG to make a diagram sharper.
When you should not convert
- The PNG is a logo, icon, or sticker with transparency you still need.
- The PNG is already small and the next tool accepts it. Another encode cannot help.
- You need lossless editing next. Stay in PNG until the edit is finished, then export a JPG as a copy.
- Local. The PNG is converted in the browser and is not uploaded to Tabpic.
- Quality is yours. High is the default so text does not fall apart unless you ask it to.
- Batch. Several PNGs can be converted and zipped on your machine.
- Free account. The free limit is the only gate, and it is printed under the tool.
Frequently asked questions
Will a PNG photo get smaller as a JPG?
Almost always, yes, at a normal quality setting. PNG was storing the photo losslessly. JPG is allowed to approximate smooth areas. A very small graphic can stay the same size or grow. The numbers under the preview are the ones to trust.
Why did my logo get a white box?
The logo had transparent pixels and JPG cannot store them. Keep the PNG, or export the logo on the actual background color you will print. This page will not guess a background other than white.
Does this remove the background?
No. It only changes the file format. Pixels that were already transparent become white. Pixels that were part of the picture stay part of the picture.
What quality should I use for a screenshot?
High. Screenshots are text and UI lines. Medium is sometimes acceptable for a photograph of a person or a landscape. If the words matter, do not chase the smallest file on this slider.
JPG or JPEG?
The same format. This tool downloads .jpg. Apps that ask for JPEG accept it. You do not need a second conversion for the other extension.
Is the PNG uploaded?
A free account is required to run the tool. The new JPG also drops camera metadata such as GPS rather than copying it across.
