Made for PNG → JPEG
Convert PNG to JPEG
Turn PNG images into much smaller JPEGs locally, with transparency handled deliberately rather than silently.

How it works
Useful privacy, without privacy theater.
This page preconfigures the converter for PNG to JPEG. Your browser decodes the PNG, the JPEG encoder re-encodes it at your chosen quality, and the output is verified before download.
- InspectRead supported metadata locally.
- Process and verifyEncode locally, decode the result again, and report measured numbers.
What it does
- PNG input of any color type, decoded by your browser
- JPEG output with a quality slider, defaulting to 85
- Transparency is flattened over white, black or a custom color — your choice, shown up front
- Typical screenshots and photos shrink dramatically; pixel-art may not
- Freshly encoded output carries no EXIF, GPS or XMP
Questions, answered
What this tool does and does not do.
Why is my PNG so much bigger than the JPEG?
PNG is lossless: it stores every pixel exactly, which is expensive for photographs. JPEG trades tiny, invisible errors for much smaller files — this tool shows you the exact saving.
When should PNG stay PNG?
Sharp-edged graphics, pixel art, text screenshots and anything with transparency. JPEG's compression softens hard edges and cannot store transparency; convert those to WebP instead if size matters.
What happens to the transparent areas?
JPEG has no alpha channel, so they are composited over a background color you choose before converting. The preview shows exactly what you will get.
Is the conversion quality-lossless?
No — JPEG is lossy by design. The quality slider controls the trade-off, and the tool reports the measured output size so you can compare honestly.
