PNG files can be significantly larger than their JPG equivalents, especially for photographs and complex images. Converting PNG to JPG is a simple way to reduce file size for sharing, emailing, or uploading. At moderate quality settings, JPG files are typically 60–80% smaller than PNG while still looking great on screen. One thing to be aware of: JPG does not support transparency. If your PNG has a transparent background, we apply a white background during conversion. If you need to preserve transparency, consider converting to WebP instead, which supports transparency with smaller file sizes than PNG. Switch & Shrink processes your files securely and deletes them after download or automatic expiry.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to transparent areas when converting PNG to JPG?

JPG does not support transparency. Transparent areas in your PNG will be filled with a white background during conversion. If you need to preserve transparency, use WebP instead.

How much smaller will my JPG be compared to PNG?

For photographs, JPG files are typically 60–80% smaller than PNG at equivalent visual quality. Simple graphics with few colors may see less dramatic reductions.

Is there quality loss when converting PNG to JPG?

JPG uses lossy compression, so there will be some quality reduction compared to the lossless PNG original. At high quality settings, the difference is typically imperceptible on screen.
