What is PNG to JPG and how does it work?

PNG to JPG is a free online tool from HuntPDF. Convert PNG images to compressed JPG. You upload a file, the work happens on our servers, and you download the result. There is nothing to install and no account to create.

How do I use PNG to JPG online?

Upload your PNG file using the box above — drag it in, browse for it, or bring it in from Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive. A preview appears so you can check you've picked the right file. Press convert, then download your JPG. You can rename it first if you'd like.

Is my file secure when I use PNG to JPG?

Yes. The file you send to PNG to JPG travels over an encrypted HTTPS connection and is processed automatically on our servers. It is never made public, never shared with anyone, and nobody reads it.

Does HuntPDF store my files after PNG to JPG has run?

No. Your upload is deleted the moment PNG to JPG finishes with it, and the file it produces is removed as soon as you have downloaded it, or when you upload another file, or when you close the page. Nothing is kept, and nothing is used to train anything.

Will the original quality and formatting be maintained?

Yes. PNG to JPG is built to leave your content exactly as it is — only the change you asked for is applied. Nothing else about the file is altered or re-compressed.

Can I use PNG to JPG on mobile?

Yes. PNG to JPG works in any modern browser on phones and tablets — iPhone, iPad or Android — with nothing to install. You can upload straight from your device or from your cloud storage.

Can I rename my file before downloading it from PNG to JPG?

Yes. The file PNG to JPG gives you back keeps the name of the file you uploaded by default. If you'd rather call it something else, edit the name in the field next to the download button before you save it.

Do I need to install any software to use PNG to JPG?

No. There is nothing to download, install or sign up for — PNG to JPG is used from your browser and does the work on our servers, so it behaves the same on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS.

How long does PNG to JPG take?

Most files are finished in a few seconds. A large or page-heavy file takes a little longer, because PNG to JPG runs on our servers rather than on your device — but you won't be waiting around. You can upload files up to 250MB.

Is PNG to JPG free to use?

Yes. PNG to JPG is free, with no signup, no watermark on the result and no daily limit for normal use.

Will PNG to JPG make my file smaller?

For photos and screenshots, usually yes, often by a wide margin. Simple graphics with a few flat colours sometimes shrink less.

What happens to a transparent background in PNG to JPG?

JPG has no transparency, so the see-through parts are filled in. Keep a PNG, or choose WebP, if you need them to stay clear.

Can I convert many PNGs to JPG at once?

Yes. A folder of forty screenshots can go in as one batch, and forty JPGs come back.

Is JPG good enough for printing?

For photos, yes, as long as the image has enough pixels for the print size. For logos and text-heavy graphics, PNG or PDF is a better choice.

Can I turn the PNGs into a PDF instead?

Yes. PDF is in the same Convert to list, and with several images you can put them all into One PDF.

Does the file name change?

Only the ending: banner.png becomes banner.jpg. You can rename it on the result screen before downloading.

PNG to JPG converts PNG images into JPG files, which are smaller and open on practically any device or website. A blogger might convert heavy PNG screenshots before uploading them, and an estate agent might convert PNG exports from a design app because the listings portal only accepts JPG.

How to convert PNG to JPG

Add your PNG files from your device, Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive, several at a time if you like, up to 260 MB each. JPG is at the top of the Convert to list and marked Recommended. Click it and each PNG becomes a JPG with the same name. Download them one by one, rename them, or send them straight on.

Why convert PNG to JPG

PNG keeps every pixel exactly, which is great for editing but makes photos and busy screenshots heavy. The same picture saved as JPG is usually much smaller, so it uploads faster and fits under attachment limits.

JPG is also the format older software, photo kiosks and many web forms expect. If a site rejects your picture as the wrong file type, converting to JPG normally sorts it out.

PNG to JPG and transparent backgrounds

JPG cannot store transparency. If your PNG is a logo with a see-through background, the empty areas are filled in when it becomes a JPG. Keep the PNG for logos, or use WebP from the same list if the destination accepts it.

For a picture that is still too large after converting, use Continue with this file to send it to Compress Image, or to Resize Image if the site wants particular pixel dimensions.
