Free PNG to JPG converter

Make photographic PNG files lighter with widely compatible JPG output. Transparency becomes white and quality can be rebuilt from the originals.

Why convert PNG to JPG?

A photograph stored as PNG can be much larger than necessary. JPG reduces file size with lossy compression and remains accepted by almost every editor, form, messaging app, and publishing platform.

JPG cannot store transparency. Cutflow replaces transparent areas with white. This conversion suits photographs and opaque visuals, but it is rarely the best choice for logos, icons, or screenshots with very fine text.

What changes from PNG to JPG

The size saving comes from a trade between fidelity, transparency, and compatibility.

Reduce file size without oversoftening

At 90%, the output favors detail. Lower quality makes the JPG smaller, but small letters, high contrast edges, and textures may become softer.

After every attempt, hover over the PNG and JPG to compare them in the same magnified frame. If the file is still too large, change quality and Cutflow will replace the result using the untouched PNG source.

How to convert PNG to JPG

  1. Add the PNG files. Drop one image or a batch of up to 50 files.
  2. Choose JPG quality. Also confirm that replacing transparency with white is appropriate.
  3. Compare and download. Check the size change, then save the JPG files or ZIP.

FAQ

Does PNG to JPG always reduce file size?

No, but it often does for photographs. A small graphic or an optimized PNG may produce a JPG of a similar or larger size.

What happens to a transparent background?

Transparent pixels are placed on white because JPG has no alpha channel.

Why does text look less sharp?

JPEG compression simplifies color changes. It suits photographs but can create halos around letters and edges.

Can I change quality after conversion?

Yes. When the batch finishes, move the slider to rebuild every image from its original PNG.

Preserve or remove transparency

Choose the output based on its final use, not file size alone.
