When to use JPEG

Photos & social media

JPEG compresses photos to a fraction of their size with minimal visible quality loss — ideal for email attachments, social media uploads, and anywhere file size matters.

Keep PNG for transparency

PNG preserves transparent backgrounds, making it the right choice for logos, icons, and graphics. Converting those to JPEG replaces transparency with white.

Convert WebP for compatibility

WebP is not supported everywhere. Convert to JPEG when sending to older software, print services, or anyone who may not be able to open WebP files.

Frequently asked questions

Does converting to JPEG reduce image quality?
JPEG uses lossy compression, but at 92% quality the difference is virtually invisible for photos. File sizes are typically 60–80% smaller than PNG with no perceptible loss for normal use.
What image formats can I convert?
You can convert JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, GIF, AVIF, and TIFF files to JPEG. Drop one or more files at a time — they are all converted instantly. Note: GIF files are converted from the first frame only.
Can I convert multiple images at once?
Yes. Drop or select multiple files and they are all converted in one go. Download each file individually or use "Download all" to save them at once.
Are my uploaded images private?
Yes. Each converted file is stored at a randomly generated URL that is not listed or searchable. Only you receive the download link, and files are permanently deleted after 7 days.
How long are converted files available to download?
Converted files are available for 7 days from the time of conversion. After that they are permanently and automatically deleted from our servers.
Is this converter free?
Yes, completely free. No account required, no watermarks, and no file size fees. Convert as many images as you need.

Why PNG rather than JPG for an iPhone photo

For sending a holiday picture, JPG is the better answer — smaller, and accepted everywhere. PNG earns its place when the photo is going to be worked on: pasted into a design tool, cut out, annotated, or re-saved several times.

Every JPG save is lossy, and the damage accumulates across edits. A PNG stays exactly as it is no matter how often it is opened and saved, which makes it the safer intermediate format for anything that is not finished.

Expect a large file

HEIC is one of the most efficient image formats in use and PNG is one of the least. A 2 MB iPhone photo can become a 20 MB PNG — not because anything went wrong, but because lossless storage of twelve megapixels genuinely takes that much room.

If the size is a problem and the image is a photograph rather than artwork, JPG is almost certainly what you want instead.

Location data

The conversion writes out pixels only, so the GPS coordinates, camera model and capture time in the original do not carry into the PNG.

Common questions

Should I convert to PNG or JPG?
PNG for editing, design work or anything you will re-save repeatedly. JPG for sending, uploading and printing — it is a fraction of the size and universally accepted.
Why is the PNG so much larger than the HEIC?
HEIC is highly efficient and PNG is lossless. A tenfold increase is normal for a full-resolution phone photo.
Does it keep my location data?
No. The PNG is written from decoded pixels, so EXIF — including GPS — is not carried over.
Does it work with HEIF files too?
Yes. HEIC and HEIF are the same container and both are accepted.

Other conversions

Sharing them afterwards

Converted files stay here for 7 days so you can fetch them again, but the link is yours alone. If you need to send the images to someone, the file sharing side of the site makes a private link that expires on its own — no account for you, and none for whoever opens it.
