PNG to JPG: help & limits
About this tool
Make a JPG when an upload form or older application does not accept PNG. Select a still PNG and Reqly creates the JPEG automatically at the same decoded dimensions. Transparent areas are filled with white. Photographs may become smaller, while diagrams and small text can show compression changes, so inspect the result before using it.
How to use
- Choose a still PNG within the displayed limits. Animated PNG is rejected.
- Review the automatically generated JPG, especially transparent edges, small text and thin lines.
- Download the JPG. Keep the original PNG if you need its transparency or want to avoid lossy encoding.
Supported files
Still PNG · Up to 64 MiB · 64 megapixels. One image at a time. Maximum 16,384 pixels per edge and 128 MiB output.
How it works
A local worker decodes the PNG, draws a white background behind its pixels and encodes JPEG at quality 92. The resulting signature and dimensions are verified before a download is offered. Reported file-size change comes from measured bytes, not a predicted compression ratio.
Examples
A photograph for a JPG-only form
Convert a 1,600 × 1,200 PNG photograph to JPG without resizing it. Compare the actual output size against the form’s limit rather than assuming conversion guarantees a smaller file.
A transparent logo on white
A 600 × 600 PNG logo with transparent edges becomes a 600 × 600 JPG on white. Check edge halos and lettering; keep PNG when transparency or crisp flat graphics matter more.
Limitations
- JPEG cannot store transparency. This converter uses white rather than removing or recoloring an opaque background.
- JPEG encoding is lossy; fine text and flat graphics may show artifacts. A smaller output is not guaranteed.
- Animated PNG is unsupported. Embedded metadata and exact color-profile behavior may change during re-encoding.
Privacy
PNG decoding, white-background composition and JPEG encoding happen on your device. Neither the source image nor the output is uploaded, and Reqly does not store the file between visits. Reset clears the references and temporary preview URLs held by the tool.
Local processing explainedCommon questions
Why is there a white box around my logo?
Transparent PNG pixels need a solid replacement in JPG. This tool uses white; keep PNG when the image must sit over different page backgrounds.
Will every PNG get smaller?
No. Image content and the original encoding matter. Reqly shows the measured result and percentage change so you can compare.
Can this convert an animated PNG?
No. Animated PNG is rejected rather than silently turned into one still frame.
