When Should You Convert PNG to JPG?

  • Reducing file size: JPG files are typically 50–80% smaller than PNG for the same image — great for faster web pages and email attachments
  • Platform requirements: Some platforms and apps require JPG format or don't handle PNG well
  • Photographs: For photos, JPG achieves much smaller file sizes with barely noticeable quality loss
  • Printing: Some print services specifically require JPG files

Choosing the Right Quality Setting

The JPG quality parameter directly controls the trade-off between file size and visual quality:

  • 90–100%: Near-lossless, larger files — for professional use where quality is critical
  • 80–90%: Recommended for most uses — barely any visible difference, 60–70% smaller file
  • 60–80%: Noticeably compressed — good for web and social media where size matters most
  • Below 60%: Visible artifacts — only when extreme compression is required

What Happens to Transparent Backgrounds?

JPG doesn't support transparency. When converting a PNG with a transparent background, the transparent areas will be filled with white by default. If you need to preserve transparency, keep the file as PNG or convert to WebP instead.
