Free PNG to JPG Converter
Drag in one or more PNG files and download them as JPG in seconds. Adjust the quality to shrink the file size, and everything happens on your device — your images are never uploaded.
What is the PNG to JPG converter?
A PNG to JPG converter is a free tool that changes PNG image files into the JPG (JPEG) format. JPG uses lossy compression, so the same picture usually takes far less space — handy for websites, email attachments and upload forms that reject large or PNG files. Slashit's converter does this entirely in your browser using the built-in canvas, which means your images are never uploaded to a server — they stay private on your device. You can convert several PNGs at once, set a quality level to balance size against sharpness, and download the JPGs in seconds. Transparent areas of the PNG are placed on a white background, since JPG doesn't support transparency.
How our free PNG to JPG converter works
Add your PNG files
Drag PNG images onto the drop zone or click to choose them — one or many at once.
Set the quality
Use the quality slider to trade file size against sharpness; 85% suits most images.
Download the JPGs
Download each converted file, or use “Download all” for the whole batch.
What can you use the PNG to JPG converter for?
Shrinking screenshots before you send them
Screenshots save as PNG by default and are often 2–5 MB each. Converted to JPG at 85% quality, the same screenshot usually lands between 200 and 500 KB — small enough to email or drop into a chat without waiting on an upload.
Meeting an upload form's file-type rules
Job portals, government forms, school systems and older content managers frequently accept JPG only. Converting sidesteps the rejection instead of hunting for a different copy of the photo.
Speeding up a slow web page
Photographic images served as PNG are one of the most common causes of poor page-speed scores. Converting the photos on a page to JPG often halves the page weight, which directly improves Largest Contentful Paint.
Preparing photos for print services
Many print labs and photo-book services want JPG uploads. Convert at the highest quality setting to keep detail while satisfying the format requirement.
Who uses our free PNG to JPG converter?
Website owners
Swap heavy PNGs for lighter JPGs so pages load faster.
Anyone uploading files

Why use the PNG to JPG converter?
Smaller files
JPG compression cuts file size dramatically versus PNG for photos.
Batch convert
Drop in many PNGs and convert them all at once.
100% private
Images are processed in your browser and never uploaded.
PNG vs JPG: which should you use?
The two formats solve different problems. Use this to decide before you convert.
| PNG | JPG | |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Lossless — no detail is discarded | Lossy — discards detail to save space |
| Typical photo size | Large (often 3–5× bigger) | Small |
| Transparency | Yes (alpha channel) | No — filled with white |
| Best for | Logos, icons, screenshots with text, graphics with sharp edges | Photographs and any image with smooth colour gradients |
| Re-saving repeatedly | Safe — quality never degrades | Each re-save loses a little more quality |
| Browser support | Universal | Universal |
Tips for getting the best results
Start at 85% quality
For most photos, 85% is the point where the file gets dramatically smaller but the difference is invisible at normal viewing size. Drop toward 70% only if you specifically need a smaller file.
Don't convert logos or text graphics
JPG compression smears sharp edges, so text and line art pick up visible fuzz around the letters. Those belong in PNG.
Check transparent images first
If your PNG has a transparent background, that area becomes solid white in the JPG. If you need the transparency, keep the PNG or place it on the background colour you actually want first.
Convert once, from the original
Every JPG save discards a little detail. Always convert from the original PNG rather than from an already-converted JPG.
Common problems and how to fix them
My JPG came out larger than the PNG
This happens with flat graphics — logos, screenshots of plain UI, illustrations with few colours. PNG compresses large blocks of identical colour extremely efficiently, while JPG doesn't. If the JPG is bigger, that image is genuinely better off as a PNG.
The background turned white
That's expected. JPG has no transparency support, so any transparent pixels have to become a solid colour — white is the standard choice. Use the JPG to PNG converter or keep your original if you need transparency.
The image looks blurry or blocky
The quality slider is set too low. Move it back up toward 85–95% and convert again; the source PNG is untouched, so you can retry as often as you like.
Frequently asked questions
Does converting PNG to JPG reduce quality?
JPG is lossy, so there's a small quality trade-off — but at 80–90% quality it's usually invisible, and the file is much smaller. Keep PNG only when you need transparency or perfectly sharp edges.
What happens to transparent areas?
JPG doesn't support transparency, so transparent parts of the PNG are filled with a white background during conversion.
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so your images never leave your device.
Can I convert several PNGs at once?
Yes. Drop in as many PNG files as you like and they're all converted together, with a “Download all” button for the finished batch.
Is there a file size limit?
There's no fixed limit — the constraint is your device's memory, since the work happens locally. Very large images (say, above 50 megapixels) may take a few seconds on an older phone.
Does converting PNG to JPG lose the image's metadata?
Yes. Because the image is redrawn onto a canvas, EXIF data such as camera model, GPS location and capture date is dropped. That's usually a privacy benefit when sharing photos publicly.
Is JPG the same as JPEG?
Yes — they're the same format. JPEG is the name of the standard; .jpg became the common file extension because early Windows versions only allowed three-letter extensions.
