Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert PNG to JPEG?

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) uses lossless encoding and is best for graphics with sharp edges, text overlays, screenshots, and images requiring transparent backgrounds. JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) uses lossy compressed encoding and excels at photographs, web images, and social media where smaller file size matters more than perfect quality. Converting between them lets you take advantage of each format's strengths — for example, using a compressed format for sharing and a lossless format for editing. All conversion happens locally in your browser with no file size limits.

When should I convert PNG to JPG?

For photographs and complex images where file size matters more than transparency — expect 60–90% smaller files. Keep PNG for logos, icons, and anything with transparency or sharp text edges.

What happens to transparency?

JPG has no alpha channel: transparent pixels become a solid background (usually white). If the transparency matters, convert to WebP instead — it keeps alpha at JPG-like sizes.

What quality setting should I use?

Quality 85–90 for photos you keep; 70–80 for web uploads where bandwidth matters. Below 60, banding and block artifacts become visible in skies and gradients.

Is the conversion really lossless?

No — PNG→JPG is always lossy by nature (JPG discards data). The original PNG pixels are read exactly; the size saving comes from JPEG compression. Archive the PNG if you need pixel-perfect originals.

Do pictures leave the browser during conversion?

No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser via Canvas. Images never leave your device.
