PNG to JPG Converter — Reduce File Size
Convert PNG images to JPG to reduce file size by up to 90%. Fast browser-based converter, free, no signup. Ideal for web optimization and email.
PNG files are fantastic for graphics with transparency, but they're terribly inefficient for photographs. A 12-megapixel photo saved as PNG can easily exceed 20MB, while the same image as JPG is under 3MB with virtually no visible quality difference. If you've been saving screenshots, camera photos, or downloaded images as PNG and wondering why your storage fills up so fast, format conversion is the answer.
The Cliply's PNG-to-JPG converter handles the conversion instantly in your browser. Upload one or many PNG files, and each is re-encoded as a high-quality JPG with a default quality of 92%. For photographs, the file size reduction is dramatic — typically 80–90% smaller — because JPG's lossy compression algorithm is specifically designed for photographic content with gradual color transitions.
One important consideration: JPG doesn't support transparency. Any transparent areas in your PNG will be filled with a white background during conversion. If you need to preserve transparency, keep the PNG format and use our PNG compressor instead. But for screenshots, photos, and graphics with solid backgrounds, converting to JPG is the single most effective way to reduce file size.

For photographs, JPG is typically 80–90% smaller than PNG. A 15MB PNG photo becomes a 1.5–3MB JPG. For graphics with large areas of flat color, the difference is smaller but still significant.
JPG doesn't support transparency. Transparent areas in your PNG are replaced with a solid white background. If transparency is important, keep the PNG format.
Keep PNG for images that need transparency (logos, icons, overlays), graphics with sharp edges and text, and any image where lossless quality is critical. Convert to JPG for photographs, screenshots, and any image where small file size matters more than pixel-perfect preservation.
