Convert PNG to JPG without uploading

Drop your PNG files onto the converter and each one is saved as a JPG inside your browser. Nothing is sent to a server, so screenshots of private messages, scanned documents and family photos stay on your device. You can convert up to 30 PNGs at once, up to 50 MB each, and download every JPG together as a ZIP.

The JPG keeps the same width and height as the PNG, and it is saved at a quality setting that looks the same on screen. For photos and screenshots of photos, the JPG is usually far smaller than the PNG, because JPG is built for photographic images while PNG stores every pixel exactly.

PNG files from a phone screenshot, a scanner app or a design tool all work, and each JPG keeps the original file name with the new extension, so photo-1.png becomes photo-1.jpg and is easy to find in your downloads.

What happens to transparency

JPG has no transparency, so something has to fill the see-through parts of a PNG. The converter fills them with white before saving, which is what most people expect for documents, forms and photos on a white page. A logo with a transparent background therefore comes out as the logo on a white rectangle.

If you need to keep the transparency, JPG is the wrong target. Convert to WebP instead, which keeps the alpha channel and is still much smaller than PNG, or keep the PNG and compress it. Check the white fill on anything with soft, semi-transparent edges, such as shadows, because those blend into white rather than into whatever background you place them on later.

This white fill is also what happens when you convert a WebP with transparency to JPG on Squishly, so results are consistent across formats.

PNG or JPG: which one to keep

Keep PNG for graphics: logos, icons, diagrams, screenshots of text and anything with sharp edges or transparency. PNG is lossless, so it never blurs fine lines and can be edited and saved repeatedly without getting worse. Keep JPG for photographs and anything you need to send, upload or print, where a much smaller file matters more than pixel-perfect storage.

A practical rule is to keep the original PNG if you might edit it again and use the JPG for sharing. Many upload forms and older apps accept only JPG, and a JPG of a photo is often a fraction of the size of the PNG, which also helps when you email it. If the destination is a website, WebP usually beats both.

Converting back from JPG to PNG does not bring back lost detail or transparency, so if you might need either later, keep the original PNG somewhere safe before you share the JPG.

For screenshots that contain mostly text, PNG often stays sharper and can even be smaller than JPG, because JPG tends to blur the hard edges of letters. Convert those only when the place you are sending them insists on JPG.

Frequently asked questions

Why convert PNG to JPG?
JPG files are much smaller for photos, and some forms and older apps accept only JPG. For logos and graphics with transparency, PNG or WebP is usually the better choice.
What happens to a transparent background?
JPG cannot store transparency, so transparent areas are filled with white before the JPG is saved.
Can I convert many PNGs at once?
Yes. Add up to 30 files, up to 50 MB each and 200 MB per batch, and download them together as a ZIP.
Are my images uploaded?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so your PNGs never leave your device.
