Convert PNG to JPG for Smaller File Size

PNG files can be much larger than JPG files, especially for photos and screenshots without transparency. Converting to JPG is often the quickest way to shrink the file.

Quick answer

To convert PNG to JPG for a smaller file size, open the image converter, choose JPG as the output format, upload your PNG file, and download the JPG result. JPG is often better when you need a lighter image for upload or email. The conversion runs locally in your browser, and Confiles does not upload or store your file.
