Frequently asked questions about PNG JPG conversion
PNG to JPG conversion transforms PNG format images to JPEG format. This is useful when you need smaller file sizes for web uploads, email attachments, or storage optimization. JPG files are significantly smaller than PNG but use lossy compression.
JPG uses lossy compression, so there will be some quality reduction. However, our converter optimizes the quality to 85% which provides an excellent balance between file size and visual quality. For most uses, the difference is barely noticeable.
JPG format does not support transparency. When converting PNG files with transparent backgrounds, our converter automatically replaces transparent areas with a white background to ensure the image displays correctly.
Typically, JPG files are 50-80% smaller than equivalent PNG files. The exact reduction depends on image content - photos with many colors compress more than graphics with few colors. This makes JPG ideal for photographs and web images.
PNG to JPG works best for photographs and images with many colors. For logos, graphics with text, or images requiring transparency, keeping the PNG format is recommended. JPG is perfect for reducing file sizes of photos and complex images.
