Question 1

What happens to transparent areas in my PNG?

Accepted Answer

JPG does not support transparency. Any transparent areas in your PNG are filled with a white background before conversion. If you need a different background color, edit the PNG beforehand.

Question 2

Will the converted JPG be smaller than the original PNG?

Accepted Answer

Almost always yes. JPG uses lossy compression that reduces photographic images to a fraction of their PNG size. For a typical photo PNG, expect a 60-80% size reduction. Graphics with large flat color areas may see smaller gains.

Question 3

Does the conversion reduce image quality?

Accepted Answer

JPEG compression is lossy, so some detail is discarded. This tool uses a quality setting of 0.92 out of 1.0, which is high quality with minimal visible artifacts for most images. The output will look nearly identical to the source.

Question 4

Is my file sent to a server?

Accepted Answer

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Nothing is uploaded. Close the tab and the file is gone.

Question 5

When should I convert PNG to JPG?

Accepted Answer

Convert when you need a smaller file for sharing, web publishing, or email attachments and the image does not require transparency. Photos are ideal candidates. Logos, icons, and images with text usually look better as PNG.
