About converting PNG to JPG
PNG is lossless and JPG is not, and that difference is the whole reason to convert: a screenshot or an export saved as PNG is often ten times the size of the same image as a JPG that looks identical. For photographs, that is a straight win.
The one thing that genuinely changes is transparency. JPG has no alpha channel at all, so a transparent background has to become some colour — here, white. If your PNG has a transparent background and you need it kept, WebP is the right target instead: it is lossy like JPG but supports alpha.
Quality is adjustable. 92 is near-indistinguishable from the original for photographs; below about 80, JPG’s block artefacts start to show, and they show first and worst on exactly the content PNG is good at — flat colour, sharp edges and text.
What actually changes
- Alpha flattening
- Transparent pixels are composited onto white before encoding, because JPG has no alpha channel.
- Quality
- Adjustable; 92 is visually lossless for photographs.
- Progressive
- Output is progressive, so it renders in increasing detail while it loads rather than top to bottom.
- Size
- A photographic PNG typically shrinks by 60–90%.
What it cannot do
Every conversion loses something. These are the limits of this one, stated up front rather than discovered in the output.
- Transparency cannot be preserved. Convert to WebP instead if you need alpha and smaller files.
- Screenshots, diagrams, logos and anything with text or flat colour are the worst case for JPG — the artefacts land exactly on sharp edges.
- JPG is lossy and the loss is permanent; keep the PNG if it is your master copy.
- Animation is not supported — a JPG is a single frame.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to my transparent background?
It becomes white. JPG has no alpha channel, so transparency has to be composited onto something. If you need the transparency, convert to WebP instead — it is lossy like JPG but keeps alpha.
How much smaller will the file be?
For a photograph, usually 60–90% smaller at quality 92 with no visible difference. For a screenshot or a logo, much less — and the quality cost is much more visible.
Should I convert screenshots to JPG?
Generally no. JPG’s artefacts appear first on sharp edges and flat colour, which is exactly what a screenshot is made of. Keep those as PNG or convert to WebP.
What quality should I pick?
92 is the safe default. Below about 80 the block artefacts become visible on most images.
