What changes when you convert PNG to JPG
- JPG has no transparency, so any transparent parts of the PNG are filled with white rather than turning black.
- JPG is lossy. The Quality slider starts at 90%, which looks the same as the original for nearly every photo; lower it for a smaller file and the preview shows the new size before you download.
About PNG and JPG
- PNG is a lossless format: it keeps every pixel exactly and supports full transparency. That makes it ideal for screenshots, logos and graphics, but photos saved as PNG are often several times bigger than the same photo as a JPG.
- JPG (also written JPEG) is the most widely supported photo format. Its lossy compression keeps photos small, but it has no transparency and loses a little detail every time it's re-saved.
Tips for iPhone
- There's no app to install from the App Store – the tool runs inside Safari, and the file never leaves your iPhone.

Frequently asked questions
Will I lose quality converting PNG to JPG?
At the default 90% quality the difference is practically invisible. JPG is lossy, so very low quality settings will show blur or blocky edges.
Can I convert several PNG files at once?
Yes. Add as many as you like; each converts on its own, and Download all saves them in one ZIP.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs in your browser using your device's own processor, so your photos never leave your device. You can even disconnect from the internet once the page has loaded.
Where does the converted file go on my iPhone?
Tap Download. Safari saves the file to Files › Downloads (tap the download arrow in the address bar to find it). To add an image to Photos, open it in Files, tap Share, then Save Image.
