Overzicht
Convert PNG to JPEG. This tool takes a lossless Portable Network Graphics and re-encodes it as a JPEG at a quality that targets visual parity on photographic content, at roughly 9% of the PNG byte cost. The input stays on our side only long enough to encode and is deleted as soon as the JPEG download starts.
JPEG (JPEG) is a lossy codec standardised in 1992 and supported in roughly 100%% of 2026 browsers. Its whole purpose is compressing photographic content into a small payload by discarding detail the human eye is unlikely to notice. For hero images, product photography, and travel snapshots, a well-encoded JPEG looks indistinguishable from the source PNG at normal viewing distance.
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is lossless: every original pixel is preserved. That makes it a great editor source and a faithful archive, but a heavy delivery format. A typical PNG is materially larger than the same pixels in JPEG, and on the public web every extra kilobyte costs Core Web Vitals score, CDN egress, and mobile battery.
The trade-off is content-dependent. On smooth photographic content, JPEG hits visual parity with PNG at a large byte saving. On screenshots, UI mocks, flat-colour illustrations, or anything with sharp text edges, JPEG artifacts become visible at aggressive quality settings. For those sources, JPEG is the wrong target: stay on PNG, or consider a modern lossless codec such as WebP lossless or AVIF lossless for a smaller lossless file.
When NOT to convert PNG to JPEG: screenshots, UI mocks, and dense-text images (the JPEG codec softens sharp edges). Images with transparency (JPEG flattens alpha against a solid background). Archival masters where every pixel matters (keep the PNG). Modern-browser-only targets where AVIF or WebP would give the same visual quality at half the bytes (convert to a modern codec instead).
Your PNG upload is held only while we encode it. The resulting JPEG comes back on a one-time download link and is deleted the moment you fetch it. Nothing is saved on our side, no account ties the file to you, and the Privacy page lists every byte that touches disk. Converting PNG to JPEG on BouseMutton is a one-shot operation, not a saved artefact.
PNG to JPEG at a glance
De cijfers en afwegingen die je nodig hebt voordat je je vastlegt.
Byte savings
On photographic content, JPEG reaches PNG-equivalent visual quality at roughly 9% of the byte cost. Smooth gradients compress best.
No transparency
JPEG flattens alpha against white. If transparency matters, pick a target that supports alpha (JPEG does not).
Sharp edges degrade
Screenshots, UI mocks, and dense-text images show visible JPEG artifacts around sharp edges. Stay on PNG for those sources.
Universal browser support
JPEG covers roughly 100%% of 2026 browsers and plays in every email client, CMS, and print workflow without fallback.
Codec era
JPEG was standardised in 1992. Its age is the reason it plays everywhere and the reason modern codecs beat it on byte cost.
Modern alternative
For a modern-browser audience, AVIF or WebP typically beat JPEG by a further 20-50% at the same visual quality. Consider those targets instead.
Privacy model
Your PNG is held only while we encode. The JPEG is deleted the moment you fetch it. Nothing is saved on our servers.
Hoe het werkt
Drie stappen, meestal binnen vijf seconden klaar.
- 1
Upload a PNG
Drop a PNG up to 25 MB, or paste from the clipboard. No sign-up, no credit card, nothing tied to an account.
- 2
We encode it as JPEG
We encode your PNG to JPEG at a default quality that targets visual parity on photographic content. Transparent pixels flatten against white; everything else converts cleanly.
- 3
Download your JPEG
Your JPEG comes back on a one-time download link. Fetch it and the file is deleted; never come back and the file is deleted anyway.
