A photo saved as PNG is usually five times too big. Converted on your device.

How to convert PNG to JPG

  1. Drop the PNG.
  2. Pick a quality.
  3. Press Convert and download the JPG.

What happens to your file

PNG stores every pixel exactly; JPG stores what the eye notices. For photographs and screenshots of photographs the difference is invisible at quality 82 and the file is typically 3–8 times smaller.

Transparency is composited onto white. Sharp-edged graphics (logos, text, line art) show JPG artefacts up close — keep those as PNG or use WebP.

Questions

When should I NOT convert PNG to JPG?

Logos, icons, screenshots of text, anything with transparency or flat colour. JPG blurs sharp edges; for those, PNG to WebP shrinks the file without that cost.

Why is the JPG larger than the PNG?

A tiny flat-colour PNG can be smaller than any JPG. The page shows both sizes; keep the original.

Do it once, not on every form

A form that wants a square JPEG under 240 KB says so on the page. The Fylane extension reads that, fits your photo to it, and puts it in the field — without you working out what 240 KB looks like.

And it keeps the result. The next application that asks for a résumé, a cover letter and a photo fills all three from one tap, each one refitted to what that site accepts.

Your files stay in the browser, encrypted, on your machine. Nothing is uploaded to keep them and nothing is sent anywhere to fill a form.
