FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between PNG and JPG?

PNG uses lossless compression and supports transparency. JPG uses lossy compression, producing much smaller file sizes — ideal for photos and web images where transparency is not needed.

Will I lose transparency when converting PNG to JPG?

Yes. JPG does not support transparency. Any transparent areas in your PNG will become white (or the background color) in the converted JPG file.

Can I convert multiple PNG files at once?

Yes. You can upload and convert multiple PNG images in one go. All converted JPG files are packaged into a ZIP for convenient download.

Will my images lose quality when converting to JPG?

JPG uses lossy compression, so there is a small quality reduction. However, our converter uses high-quality settings (92% quality) to minimize visual differences. The file size reduction is typically 5-10x.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. All conversion happens entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Your images are never uploaded anywhere and the tool works offline once loaded.
