PNG to JPG

Got a screenshot or photo in PNG, and the form wants JPG or the file is too big to email? Convert PNG to JPG here in seconds and fill transparent areas with white or any color you like.

Files never leave your device

PNG is great for screenshots with text, but photos and colorful screenshots end up needlessly large in it. And some uploads, such as a US visa photo, accept JPEG only. Drop your images here, pick a background color and download JPG files. Below you'll find when converting helps and when it's better to leave the PNG as it is.

How to convert PNG to JPG

  1. 1

    Add your PNG images

    Drag .png files onto the page or choose them with the button, a whole series of screenshots for example.

  2. 2

    Pick a background color

    Transparent areas are filled with this color in the JPG. White suits documents, while a dark page calls for a dark color.

  3. 3

    Set the quality

    The default quality of 90 keeps the details. If you need the smallest possible file, move the slider lower.

  4. 4

    Download the JPG files

    One image downloads directly, several in one ZIP. Any file that could not be converted is listed.

Screenshots from an iPhone

iPhones save regular screenshots as PNG and HDR screenshots as HEIF. You'll find the setting in Settings > General > Screen Capture. Convert PNG screenshots here and HEIF ones on the HEIC to JPG page.

When a form accepts only JPG

Some forms and portals won't accept PNG. A US visa photo, for example, has to be a JPEG. If a form says the file has the wrong format, converting to JPG fixes it.

Not every site is that strict: LinkedIn, Google Business Profile, eBay and Shopify all accept PNG. If the form also has a size limit, shrink the finished JPG with Compress JPG.

PNG to JPG with a white background

A PNG logo or a cut-out product with a transparent background gets a solid background in JPG, because JPG has no transparency. By default it's white, which is what most product listings and documents want.

To match a colored page or slide, pick that color under Background color for transparent areas before converting. If you need to keep the transparency, don't convert to JPG at all and stay with PNG.

A PNG screenshot is too big

PNG is lossless, which turns a screenshot of a photo, a map or a colorful web page into a large file. If you email such a screenshot or upload it to a website, the JPG will be much smaller and you'll hardly see a difference.

With small text, tables or code it's the other way around. JPG creates fuzzy edges around sharp letters, so keep that kind of screenshot as PNG. If you need only part of it, cut it with Crop image, which shrinks the file too.

Privacy

FAQ

How much smaller will the JPG be?
It depends on the content. A photo or colorful screenshot is usually much smaller as a JPG than as a PNG. For simple graphics with a few colors, a logo for example, the difference may be small. You see the original size in the list and the new size after converting.

Which quality setting should I choose?
Leave the default of 90 for photos you'll view or print. For email or a form with a size limit, try a lower value and check the result. The lower you go, the more visible the blocky artifacts around edges and text become.

When should I not convert PNG to JPG?
For logos, icons, diagrams and screenshots with small text. JPG blurs their sharp edges and drops transparency. Also don't convert a PNG you'll keep editing, because every save as JPG costs a bit of quality.

How do I convert a screenshot to JPG on iPhone or Mac?
On an iPhone, open this page in Safari, choose the screenshot from your photos or Files and tap Convert PNG to JPG. On a Mac you can also open the PNG in Preview, choose File > Export and pick JPEG. Either way, there's nothing to install.

Will the image resolution change?
Not for ordinary images. The JPG has the same number of pixels as the original PNG, only the way it's stored changes. If you need it smaller in pixels too, for a website say, use Compress image afterwards with the Full HD option.

Can I convert several screenshots at once?
Yes. Select all the PNG files at once, a whole series of screenshots for a tutorial for example. They all get the same background color and quality, and you download them in one ZIP.

Is PNG to JPG free, and is anything uploaded?
It's free, with no sign-up, and the JPG has no watermark. Nothing is uploaded: images are converted in your browser, so you can safely convert a screenshot with personal details or from your online banking.
