PNG files are pixel-perfect but often huge, and that matters when a form has an upload limit or an email needs to stay small. Drop your PNGs below and this converter re-encodes them as much smaller JPGs on your own device: nothing is uploaded.

For photographs and screenshots without sharp text, JPG typically cuts the file size dramatically at a quality level you cannot tell apart from the original. That is why upload forms, email attachments, and photo-sharing sites all favor it. The quality slider (default 90%) controls the trade-off.
Keep PNG when the image is a logo, a diagram, text-heavy, or needs a transparent background. PNG is lossless, so crisp edges stay crisp; JPG can smudge fine text, and it fills transparent areas with white because it cannot store transparency. The format guide covers the trade-offs in detail.
If you are converting because an upload form or an email is refusing the file, work in steps. Convert at the default 90% first and read the size shown on the file row; if that clears the limit, stop there. If not, drop the slider to 80, convert again, and look at the result at the size it will actually be viewed. Below roughly 60% the damage starts to show as haloing around edges and blotchiness in smooth areas. If you are still over the limit at that point, the real problem is the image's pixel dimensions, and resizing before converting is the fix.
JPG is lossy, so some detail is discarded, but at a high quality setting the difference is usually invisible for photos and screenshots. Fine text and sharp edges are where JPG shows its limits.
A JPG has no alpha channel, so anything transparent in the PNG comes out white after conversion. Keep the image as PNG or use WebP when the background matters.
It depends on the image, but photographic PNGs commonly shrink to a fraction of their size as JPG at 90% quality. Screenshots with large flat areas shrink less dramatically but still meaningfully.
Usually not. JPG compression works in blocks and leaves a faint halo around hard black-on-white edges, which makes small text look fuzzy. Keep screenshots of text, code, or spreadsheets as PNG unless a form insists otherwise.
Your original PNG is untouched on your device; conversion only creates a new file. But the JPG itself cannot be turned back into the original, because the detail it discarded is gone for good. Keep the PNG if you may need to edit later.
