How to use the PNG to JPG tool
- 1
Add your PNG files
Drop your PNG screenshots or images into the box, or select them from your device. You can add a whole batch.
- 2
Set the JPG quality
JPG is already selected as the output. Move the quality slider to balance sharpness against file size.
- 3
Pick a background colour
Transparent areas are filled with white. Choose a different colour if the image will sit on a coloured background.
- 4
Download
Save each JPG separately or download them all in one ZIP file.
Why use KBSnap’s Image Converter?
Much smaller files
Photos and photo-heavy screenshots become far lighter when stored as JPG instead of PNG.
Quality you control
Use the slider to keep text crisp or to squeeze the file down further.
Background colour for transparency
Transparent pixels are filled with white by default, or with any colour you choose.
Batch conversion
Convert a folder of screenshots in one go and download them together as a ZIP.
Private
Files are converted on your own device – nothing is uploaded or stored.
Why convert PNG to JPG?
PNG is a lossless format, so it keeps every pixel – and pays for it in file size. That's ideal for logos and icons, but wasteful for photos and screenshots you just want to send or upload. Common reasons to switch to JPG:
- Screenshots are too big. Many phones and computers save screenshots as PNG. As JPGs they're much quicker to email, upload or store.
- A form only accepts JPG. Job portals, exam registrations and many government websites list “JPG/JPEG” as the only allowed image type.
- Photos were exported as PNG. Some editing apps and image generators save photos as PNG, producing files far larger than they need to be.
- You're running out of space. Converting a large collection of PNG photos to JPG frees up storage on your phone or cloud account.
What happens to transparent areas
JPG has no transparency, so any see-through pixels in your PNG need a solid colour behind them. The converter uses white by default, which looks right on documents, forms and light web pages.
If the image will be placed on a dark or coloured background, pick that colour before converting. Soft edges, drop shadows and smooth text are blended into the background colour, so a logo flattened onto white will show a pale fringe if you later put it on navy blue.
Need to keep the transparency and still save space? Convert with PNG to WebP instead, or keep the PNG and shrink it with Compress Image.
How much smaller will the JPG be?
It depends on what's in the picture. Photos, and screenshots of photos, videos or maps, usually shrink the most, because JPG is built for smooth, detailed images. Flat graphics with large areas of one colour – a simple logo, a chart, a text-only screenshot – shrink less, and at low quality settings you may see faint smudges around letters and sharp edges.
Choosing a quality setting
| Image type | Suggested quality | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Photos | Around 75–85% | Big savings with no visible difference on screen |
| Screenshots with text | Around 85–95% | Keeps small text and thin lines sharp |
| Logos, icons, diagrams | Consider keeping PNG | JPG can blur hard edges and flat colours |
| Strict KB limit | Use Compress Image | It finds the best quality under your target |
Tips and pitfalls
- Keep the original PNG of any logo or graphic you'll reuse. JPG is fine for sharing, but you can't get the transparency or crisp edges back from it.
- Don't convert the same image back and forth – every JPG save loses a little more detail.
- Uploading to a form with a size limit such as 50 KB? Compress Image to 50KB with the output set to JPG converts and shrinks in one step.
- Turning several screenshots into one document? PNG to PDF combines them into a single PDF.
