Why convert PNG to JPG
PNG files keep every pixel, which makes screenshots and photos saved as PNG very large — often several megabytes. JPG compresses photos much better, so the same picture becomes a fraction of the size. That helps with upload limits, email attachments, websites and phone storage.
What happens when you convert
Each PNG is opened in your browser and saved as a JPG. Because JPG does not support transparency, transparent areas are filled with white. Use the Quality slider (40–100, default 92) to balance size and sharpness, and optionally type a width in pixels to make large images smaller at the same time; the height follows automatically and pictures are never enlarged.
When JPG is the right choice
JPG is ideal for photos and realistic pictures. For logos, icons, line drawings and screenshots with small text, JPG can create faint blurry edges around sharp lines — keep those as PNG unless you really need the smaller size or a JPG file.
Common problems and how to fix them
The background turned white: the PNG had transparency; if you need it, keep the PNG or use Image to WEBP, which keeps transparency. Text in a screenshot looks soft: raise the quality to 95. The JPG is still too big: lower the quality to 80 or enter a smaller width, or use Compress Image with a target KB.
Good habits
Keep the original PNG for future edits, convert copies for sharing, and check one converted image at full size before converting a whole folder.
