PNG to JPG Converter: Shrink Images for Web and Email
PNG files preserve every pixel, which is great for graphics but often overkill for photos — resulting in files far larger than they need to be. ConvertBrio's PNG to JPG converter compresses your image into a smaller, more shareable JPG, ideal for email attachments, web pages, and anywhere upload size limits matter.
When to Convert PNG to JPG
If your PNG is a photo (rather than a graphic with transparency or hard-edged text), converting to JPG almost always shrinks the file significantly with no visible quality loss. This is especially useful for email attachments with size limits, web pages where load speed matters, or any upload form that rejects large files.
How the Conversion Works
Upload the PNG and ConvertBrio re-encodes it as a JPG at default quality, which balances a small file size against visual fidelity. Since JPG doesn't support transparency, any transparent areas in the original PNG will be filled with a solid background in the output.
What You'll Lose (and What You Won't)
Converting to JPG discards transparency and applies lossy compression, so it's not the right choice for logos or graphics that need a transparent background. For ordinary photos, the compression is barely noticeable, and the file size reduction is usually substantial — often 50-80% smaller than the original PNG.

PNG to JPG FAQ
Common questions about converting PNG images to JPG.
Why is my PNG file so large?
PNG uses lossless compression, meaning it stores every pixel exactly rather than discarding detail the way JPG does. That makes PNG ideal for graphics but often much larger than necessary for ordinary photos.
What happens to transparent areas when converting to JPG?
JPG doesn't support transparency, so any transparent parts of your PNG will be filled in with a solid color (usually white) in the converted file.
How much smaller will the JPG be?
It depends on the image, but photos typically shrink by 50-80% when converted from PNG to JPG at default quality, since JPG's compression is specifically tuned for photographic content.
