PNG or JPG — which one?
They're the two most common image formats, but they behave differently. JPG stores colorful images like photos in small files, using “lossy” compression that drops a little detail each time you save. PNG is lossless and supports transparency — ideal for text, logos, screenshots and charts — but photos can be several times larger. This tool converts in either direction and shows how the file size changed.
PNG → JPG
Screenshots or photos saved as PNG can be too big for email or upload limits. Converting to JPG shrinks them a lot; at 85–90% quality the difference is hard to see. JPG can't store transparency, so transparent areas are filled with the color you pick (white by default). Keep logos that need a transparent background as PNG.
JPG → PNG
Convert to PNG when a site or app only accepts PNG, or when you'll edit an image and don't want further quality loss. Detail already lost to JPG compression doesn't come back, the file gets bigger, and the background doesn't become transparent.
WEBP and HEIC photos work too, and multiple files download as a ZIP. If all uploads are PNG, “JPG” is preselected; if all are JPG, “PNG” is. To hit a specific file size use Compress Image; to change pixel dimensions use Resize Image. Images are converted on your device.
Frequently asked questions
My JPG came out bigger than the PNG.
Simple graphics or text-heavy PNGs can be smaller as PNG. Keep the PNG in that case.
Is the EXIF data kept?
No. Images are redrawn, so camera details and location data are dropped.
How many images can I convert at once?
There's no fixed limit, but batches of a few dozen are most reliable depending on your device's memory.
