Should I choose JPG or PNG?

If the PNG image is a photograph or has no transparent background, choose JPG. If the PNG image has a transparent background (like a logo or icon), choose PNG to keep the transparency intact.

Why Convert PNG to JPG?

Universal Compatibility

PNG is a great format for preserving image quality and transparency, but it can result in very large file sizes for photographs. Converting PNG to JPG significantly reduces file size while maintaining excellent visual quality, making it ideal for sharing or web use.

100% Private Conversion

Avoid risky cloud converters. PhotoQuill executes the PNG decoding and JPG encoding entirely within your browser's local sandbox, guaranteeing that your personal images are never uploaded to a server.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a PNG file?

PNG is great for images with transparency, but JPG offers much smaller file sizes for standard photographs. Converting PNG to JPG is useful when you need to reduce image size and do not need transparent backgrounds.

What happens to the transparent background in my PNG?

JPG does not support transparency. Any transparent areas in your original PNG will be rendered as a solid white background in the resulting JPG.

Is the conversion really done without a server?

Yes. PhotoQuill is built using modern Web APIs. The image processing happens entirely using your computer's CPU, making it significantly faster and infinitely more secure than traditional upload-and-wait converters.
