PNG to JPG

When PNG to JPG is the right job

PNG to JPG is the conversion people run when a photo is heavier than the place it has to go: a form, a mail attachment, a shop listing, or an old editor that still asks for JPEG. A photograph stored as PNG is usually much smaller as JPG. A screenshot made of flat color and sharp text can look worse, because JPEG is built for camera tones, not for one-pixel lines.

IntoConvert writes a normal JPEG. There is a quality control on the page. Higher quality keeps more of the picture and makes a larger file. Lower quality is the lever when the limit is the size, not the last bit of detail.

What happens to transparency

JPG has no transparent pixels. If the PNG has a clear background, IntoConvert fills those pixels with white before encoding. A logo that was floating on a checkerboard will sit on white. If you need the clear background, use PNG to WEBP or keep the PNG. Do not use PNG to JPG for that file.

The converter address is /png-to-jpg. Drop the PNG, leave the target on JPG, and download the JPEG. The temporary upload is removed after that download.

Will PNG to JPG make every file smaller?
Photos usually shrink a lot. Screenshots and flat graphics may not, and their edges can soften.
Where do I convert PNG to JPG?
On /png-to-jpg. One file, up to 150 MB.
