How to convert PNG to JPG

  1. Add your PNG images

    Drop PNG files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. toany reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.

  2. JPG is already chosen

    Press Convert. Open Options first if you want to change the defaults. The work happens in this tab.

  3. Download

    Save the JPG, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.

Why toany

  • Private by construction

    The PNG to JPG converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your images are never sent to toany or to anyone else.

  • No upload, no queue

    Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.

  • Free, without an account

    No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.

PNG to JPG: what to expect

A photo or screenshot saved as PNG can easily be 5 to 10 times larger than it needs to be for email, a web upload or a form with a size limit. JPG (also written JPEG) brings that down at the cost of exactness: it is lossy, and it has no transparency, so any see-through area has to be filled with a solid colour. Crisp text and flat colour can pick up faint artefacts around edges; for those, staying with PNG or choosing WebP gives a cleaner result.

JPG has no transparency, so see-through areas of a PNG are filled with a solid colour, white by default; you can change it under Options. The defaults suit most files. Under Options you can set the quality, aim for a target file size and resize the result.

Camera metadata such as EXIF and GPS location is not copied into the JPG, and the photo's rotation is applied so it stays upright.

PNG vs JPG

PNG

PNG image

PNG stores every pixel exactly, with optional transparency. It was created as a patent-free replacement for GIF and is the standard for screenshots, logos and interface graphics. Photos saved as PNG are several times larger than the same photo as JPG.

JPEG image

JPG (also written JPEG) is the format almost every camera and website uses for photographs. It throws away detail the eye barely notices to keep files small, which is why it suits photos and struggles with sharp text or flat colour.

Questions

What happens to a transparent background?

JPG cannot store transparency, so transparent pixels are painted with a solid background colour, white by default.

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. The PNG to JPG conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to toany or to anyone else.

Does converting PNG to JPG reduce quality?

JPG is a lossy format, so a small amount of detail is traded for a smaller file. At the default setting the difference is hard to notice. You can raise or lower the quality under Options.

Can I convert several PNG files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.

How do I convert PNG to JPG on Windows, Mac, iPhone or Android?

The steps are the same everywhere because toany runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the PNG file, press Convert and save the JPG. There is nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

Pictures of up to 120 megapixels are accepted (for example 12,000 by 10,000 pixels); a larger one is refused with a message. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
