About the formats
PNG
Portable Network Graphics
PNG is an image format with lossless compression and full transparency. Because it keeps every pixel exactly, it suits screenshots, logos and images that contain text.
JPG
Joint Photographic Experts Group
JPG (JPEG) is the most widely used format for photos. It compresses lossily, discarding detail the eye barely notices to keep files small. It supports neither transparency nor animation.
Frequently asked questions
Is converting PNG to JPG free?
Yes, completely free. No account, no daily limit, no watermark and no queue.
What happens to a transparent background?
JPG has no transparency, so transparent areas are filled with white. You can choose black or any other colour in the settings.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. It works on iPhone, iPad and Android, with no app to install.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no size limit set by us. Files of hundreds of MB convert too; very large files take longer and are handled more comfortably on a computer than on a phone.
