JPG doesn't support transparency
A PNG can have transparent or semi-transparent pixels, like the background of a logo. The JPG format has no transparency channel: every pixel must have an opaque color. When converting, transparent areas are filled with the background color you choose, and semi-transparent edges are blended with that color.
If you'll place the image on a specific background, such as your website or a presentation, choose that same color so the result blends in without a visible box. If you need to keep transparency, don't convert to JPG: keep the PNG or use WebP with the image compressor.
When it's worth going from PNG to JPG
For photographs, JPG usually produces much smaller files than PNG, because it uses lossy compression designed precisely for that kind of image. It's also the format accepted by virtually every form, online store and app.
For screenshots with text, diagrams or graphics with flat colors, PNG usually looks sharper and is sometimes even smaller. In those cases, compare the sizes we show you before deciding.
JPG quality
The quality slider goes from 10 to 100. By default we use 90, which shows no noticeable difference for most images. Lower values give lighter files, but blocks or smudges can appear around text and edges. The resulting JPG doesn't include the original file's metadata.
Examples
A logo with a transparent background for a document
Load the PNG, leave the background white and download the JPG. The logo will sit on a white box, which is usually what you want in a document.
An image for a website with a dark background
Choose the page's dark color as the background. That way the drawing's smoothed edges blend with that color and no light halo appears around it.
A photo saved as PNG that's too big
Convert to JPG at quality 85–90. It's common for a photo to take up much less space as JPG than as PNG; the tool shows both sizes so you can check.
Frequently asked questions
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion happens entirely in your browser and the JPG is downloaded directly from it. The image isn't sent to Utilio or anyone else.
What happens to the transparent background?
JPG doesn't support transparency, so transparent areas are filled with the background color you choose. If you don't change anything, it will be white.
Can I convert WebP images to JPG?
Yes. Besides PNG, the tool accepts WebP and works the same way: transparent areas, if there are any, are filled with the background color.
Why is my JPG bigger than the PNG?
It can happen with flat-color images, such as screenshots or icons, which PNG compresses very well. Try lowering the quality, or keep the PNG if the result isn't worth it.
