Frequently asked questions

What happens to transparency?
Transparent areas are filled with a solid background.
Is my file stored?
No. Files are deleted after processing.

What this tool does

Upload one PNG image (max 20MB) and click convert. We process the image on our servers and output a JPG file. JPG uses lossy compression for smaller file sizes, ideal for photos and web. If your PNG had transparency, we use a solid background. We do not store your file on our servers after processing. It is deleted immediately after processing.

JPG reduces file size by using lossy compression. Fine for photos; avoid for logos that need transparency.

When to use this vs other tools

  • When you need smaller file sizes for web or email
  • When the target system or workflow requires JPG
  • When storing photos where slight compression is acceptable
  • When you do not need transparency (alpha channel)
  • When optimizing images for faster loading

Common problems and fixes

Transparency lost

JPG does not support transparency. We use a solid background. For transparency, keep PNG or use JPG to PNG for the reverse.

Conversion fails or times out

Keep the file under 20MB and use a valid PNG. Try re-saving the image and upload again.

Quality or color change

JPG uses lossy compression. For minimal loss, use high quality. Some color shift can occur in edge cases.

Real-world use case

Ideal for reducing heavy PNG screenshots/photos before publishing to websites or sending by email.

Manual vs tool

Manual export offers more quality sliders; this tool is faster for quick file-size wins.

Edge cases

  • Transparent regions are flattened.
  • Text-heavy graphics may look softer than PNG.

Practical tips

  • Use white/solid background designs before conversion when transparency matters.
  • Review output on mobile and desktop before publishing.

Limitations

JPG is lossy and does not preserve transparency.

When to use JPG vs PNG

PNG keeps quality and transparency, but files can be heavy. JPG is lighter and easier to share across email, forms, and mobile apps. If you do not need transparency and want smaller file size, JPG is usually the better final format. Keep PNG when sharp graphics or transparent backgrounds matter.
