Convert PNG to JPG
Screenshots and exported graphics tend to land on disk as PNG, and for photographic content that means megabytes where a JPG would need hundreds of kilobytes. Converting to JPG is often the quickest way to get under an upload or attachment limit. Everything runs locally, so your image stays on your device.

Why convert PNG to JPG?
- Major file-size reduction for photos and photo-like screenshots — often 80 percent or more.
- JPG is universally accepted, from decade-old software to every web form ever built.
- An adjustable quality setting lets you trade size against fidelity to hit a specific limit.
- Free to use with no watermarks, no account, and no server-side processing.
Good to know
- JPEG cannot store transparency: any transparent areas in the PNG are flattened onto a solid background color.
- JPEG compression is lossy. Photos handle it well, but sharp text and line art can develop slightly fuzzy edges at lower quality settings.
- Keep the original PNG if you plan further edits — re-saving a JPG repeatedly compounds compression loss.
- The size savings are largest for photographic content. Flat-color graphics gain less and are usually better left as PNG.
Your images stay private
Your images are processed on your device and are not uploaded to PNGful.All processing happens locally using your browser's own image engine — there is no upload step, no server-side queue, and nothing to delete afterwards. Read more in our privacy policy.
Frequently asked questions
What happens to the transparent parts of my PNG?
They get flattened onto a solid background, because the JPEG format has no concept of transparency. If your image relies on a transparent background — a logo, for instance — JPG is the wrong target and you should keep PNG or use WebP.
Will text in my screenshot look blurry as a JPG?
It can, especially at lower quality settings — JPEG compression is designed for smooth photographic gradients, not hard-edged text. Using a high quality setting keeps text legible, but for text-heavy screenshots PNG genuinely is the better format.
How much smaller will the JPG be?
For photos saved as PNG, reductions of 80 to 90 percent are routine. For screenshots it depends on content: photographic screenshots shrink a lot, while flat interface captures shrink less and may not be worth converting.
Can I convert the JPG back to PNG later?
You can, but the detail removed by JPEG compression is gone for good — converting back produces a larger file with the same JPEG-compressed pixels. If you might need the original quality again, keep a copy of the PNG.
Is this converter private?
Yes. The conversion runs in your browser using your own device's processor. Your image is never uploaded, stored, or seen by a server.
