how to convert png to jpg to reduce file size

  1. drop one or many png images on the box above.
  2. set the quality and the background color for transparent areas.
  3. download each jpg, or press download all to get a zip.

quality 75 usually shrinks a photo by 80 to 90 percent and looks the same on a phone or laptop screen. it is the setting to use when a message or form rejects your file for being too big. if the result is still over the limit, go lower, or scale the image down first, since fewer pixels mean smaller files.

screenshots with text compress less well than photos, and text may look slightly fuzzy at low quality. for those, 85 or higher keeps the text clean, and webp is another option if the site accepts it.

frequently asked questions

what jpg quality should i use to reduce size?

75 is a good starting point for photos and 85 for screenshots with text. below 60 you usually start to see blocky artifacts.

why does my screenshot stay big as a jpg?

detailed or noisy screenshots hold a lot of information. scale it down, crop away empty parts or lower the quality further.

is the original file changed?

no. your png stays as it is, and the converted jpg is a new file.
