What changes
PNG is lossless and JPG is lossy, so some quality is lost: it shows on hard edges and long gradients.
In our test, a 1600 × 1067 photo took 2.6 MB as PNG and 180 KB as JPG.
Watch out for transparency: PNG has an alpha channel and JPG doesn’t, so transparent areas are filled with the background color (white unless you pick another).
What happens to transparent areas
JPG can’t store them, so they are filled with one color. The color chosen here goes with the file to the converter.
When it’s worth it
Choose JPG for: Photos and images for sharing. Small files that open on any device.
Stay with PNG for: Logos, screenshots, and graphics.

Questions
Does converting PNG to JPG lose quality?
Yes. JPG is a lossy format, so some detail is lost.
What is the JPG format?
The standard photographic image format, standardized as ISO/IEC 10918-1 in 1992 with a lossy DCT transform and no transparency. Quality is set from 0 to 100, and saving the same file again strips away a little more detail each time.
What is the PNG format?
Lossless image format from 1995, standardized as ISO/IEC 15948. It compresses with Deflate and supports an alpha channel and 8 or 16 bits per channel, which is why it’s the default for screenshots, logos and anything that has to stay sharp.
Are the files uploaded?
No. The file is opened in this tab, converted here and saved from here. There’s no account and no watermark.
How many files can be converted at once?
Up to 200 per batch and about 2 GB per file, within the memory this device has available.
