PNG to JPG — Shrink Screenshot and Photo PNGs
Convert a PNG image to JPG for much smaller files — often 5-10× smaller for photographic content. Transparency becomes a white background, matching how JPG works.
When PNG → JPG makes sense
For photos and screenshots without transparency, JPG is dramatically smaller with almost no visible quality loss at 85-90% quality. Bad for logos and line art where JPG blurs edges.
White backgrounds replace transparency
JPG has no alpha channel, so transparent pixels become white. If you need to keep transparency, convert to WebP instead.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will text stay sharp?
Text in screenshots may show subtle JPG artifacts at high compression. Keep quality at 90%+ for text-heavy images.
What about EXIF metadata?
PNGs rarely have EXIF; the JPG output has minimal metadata.
Batch mode?
One at a time here — use Batch Image Compress for many files.
