Convert PNG to JPG
What is PNG?
Portable Network Graphics
PNG is a lossless compression format designed as an improved replacement for GIF. It uses DEFLATE compression algorithm and supports transparency through alpha channels. PNG preserves image quality perfectly but results in larger file sizes compared to JPEG for photographs.
- Lossless compression (perfect quality)
- Supports transparency (alpha channel)
- Better for graphics and text
- Larger file sizes than JPEG
- No patent restrictions
What is JPG?
JPEG Image
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is a lossy compression format for digital images. It uses discrete cosine transform (DCT) to compress image data, achieving significant file size reduction while maintaining acceptable visual quality. The compression level is adjustable, allowing balance between file size and quality.
- Lossy compression (reduces file size)
- Adjustable quality levels
- No transparency support
- Best for photographs and complex images
- Universal browser and device support

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to transparency when converting PNG to JPG?
JPG doesn't support transparency. Transparent areas become white (or you can choose a background color). If your PNG has transparency, consider keeping it as PNG or use a format that supports transparency.
How much smaller will my JPG be compared to PNG?
Typically 50-80% smaller. A 5MB PNG might become a 1-2MB JPG. Exact savings depend on image content and quality settings. Photos compress well, graphics with solid colors less so.
Should I convert PNG to JPG for my website?
For photos: Yes. JPG is smaller and loads faster. For logos/graphics with transparency: No, keep PNG. For graphics without transparency: Test both - sometimes PNG is smaller for simple graphics.
