Why convert PNG to JPG?
PNG is lossless and can be large for photographs. JPG uses efficient lossy compression, which often shrinks photo file size dramatically — useful for email attachments, CMS uploads, and faster page loads when transparency isn’t required.
Is this converter safe?
Yes. Files stay on your device. JS-Convert does not upload or store your images.

Frequently asked questions
What happens to transparent PNG backgrounds?
JPG has no alpha channel, so transparency is replaced with a solid background (typically white) when the image is drawn to the canvas.
Should I use PNG or JPG for screenshots?
Screenshots with text and flat colors usually look sharper as PNG. JPG is better when you need a smaller file and can tolerate slight compression artifacts.
Can I convert PNG to JPG offline?
After the page loads once, conversion works without uploading files. You can disconnect from the internet and still convert locally.
