PNG to JPG Converter
PNG starts with lossless compression, while this configured JPG output is lossy. The result is generally expected to be smaller, although content and settings still affect the final size. Any source transparency would be flattened because the target does not support it.
Why use this converter?
Key details about this conversion path.
A deliberate lossy export
The configured JPG encoder permanently discards some decoded source information rather than preserving it losslessly.
Plan for transparency loss
JPG does not support transparency, so any source transparency would be flattened in the output.
Generally smaller output
The result is generally expected to be smaller, although content and settings still affect the final size.
PNG input and configured JPG output
PNG input is decoded for the configured pipeline. The image pipeline writes a quality-controlled lossy JPG and composites any transparent pixels against white.

Frequently asked questions
Details about this conversion and its output.
JPG does not support transparency. If the source contains transparent pixels, they are flattened rather than retained as alpha.
This configured output uses lossy compression.
Higher percentage values generally retain more detail and produce larger files; lower values favor smaller lossy output.
The result is generally expected to be smaller, although content and settings still affect the final size.
The image pipeline writes a quality-controlled lossy JPG and composites any transparent pixels against white.
