Convert PNG to JPG Online
Need to turn a PNG file into JPG? PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless format built for graphics rather than photos. It keeps every pixel exactly and supports a full alpha channel, so it is the go-to for logos, icons, screenshots and anything with transparency or crisp edges. JPG (also written JPEG) is the world's most widely supported photo format. It uses lossy compression that throws away detail the eye barely notices, which keeps photographic files small while staying compatible with virtually every device, browser and app. Converting from PNG to JPG bridges the two: you keep the picture, but in a format that fits where you are taking it.

Why convert PNG to JPG?
People convert PNG to JPG when they need wider compatibility or a better fit for the job: JPG flattens transparency onto a solid background; JPG compresses much smaller for sharing and the web; JPG opens on every device and app. img.now keeps the full resolution and uses high-quality encoding so the result stays sharp.
| PNG | JPG | |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Raster graphic | Raster photo |
| Compression | Lossless | Lossy |
| Transparency | Yes | No |
| Animation | No | No |
What to expect converting PNG to JPG
A 12 MP screenshot or graphic typically falls from ~6-8 MB as PNG to ~0.8-1.5 MB as JPG, roughly 5-8x smaller.
JPG is lossy, so flat colour, text and sharp edges may show faint halos; photographs look identical.
Use it for photos and rich images you will email, post or attach where size matters.
Keep the PNG for logos, screenshots with text, or anything that needs transparency.
