Convert PNG to JPG

JPG cannot store transparency, so every transparent pixel has to become a solid colour. Most converters silently pick black. This one lets you choose — white by default, which is what application forms expect.

Your file stays on your device. This tool runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded to our servers, and nothing is stored.

How to convert PNG to JPG

  1. Choose your PNG file.
  2. If it has transparent areas, pick the background colour that should replace them.
  3. Set the quality — higher keeps more detail, lower makes a smaller file.
  4. Convert and download.

Supported formats

PNG in, JPG out. Transparent areas are filled with the background colour you choose, because JPG cannot store transparency.

Important limitations

Worth knowing before you start, so nothing here comes as a surprise at the point you are submitting a form:

  • Transparency cannot be preserved. This is a limitation of the JPG format itself, not of this tool.
  • Screenshots, logos and line art often look worse as JPG: hard edges pick up faint halos. Keep them as PNG when you can.

How your files are handled

This tool does its work using your browser’s own image and document engine. Your file is read from your device into the page’s memory, processed there, and offered back to you as a download. It is never sent to Fyleit, never written to a server, and never stored anywhere we can reach.

You can verify that for yourself: load this page, disconnect from the internet, and the tool still works. That is also why there is no sign-up and no email field — we have nothing to attach an account to.

Common problems

My transparent background turned black elsewhere.

That is what happens when a converter does not ask. Set the background colour here — white for most forms and documents — and convert again.

The text in my screenshot looks fuzzy.

JPG handles sharp edges poorly. Raise the quality to 90% or more, or keep the file as PNG if whatever you are uploading will accept it.

Frequently asked questions

Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. This tool uses your browser’s own image engine, so the photo is read, processed and saved entirely on your device. Nothing is sent to us, and nothing is stored. You can confirm this by opening your browser’s network tab, or by disconnecting from the internet after the page has loaded — the tool keeps working.
Why do forms ask for JPG?
JPG is small, universally supported, and photographs compress well in it. A JPG photo is often five to ten times smaller than the same image as PNG, which matters when a form caps uploads at a few dozen kilobytes.
Why does the image look slightly different after compressing?
JPG compression works by discarding detail the eye is least likely to notice. Small reductions are invisible; large ones show up first as soft edges and blotchy patches around text and in smooth areas like sky or skin. If you can see the difference and you do not like it, raise the quality or allow a slightly larger file.
