How to Convert PNG to JPG on Mac

PNGs are the default format for screenshots on Mac, but they take up a lot of space. If you're tired of 10MB screenshots clogging your desktop, converting them to JPG is a quick win.

1. Using Preview

  1. Open the PNG in Preview.
  2. Go to File > Export....
  3. Select JPEG from the format list.
  4. Click Save.

2. Using Finder Quick Actions

  1. Right-click the PNG in Finder.
  2. Select Quick Actions > Convert Image.
  3. Choose JPEG.
  4. Click Convert to JPEG.

3. Using imgKonvert (Bulk & Privacy)

For converting a large batch of screenshots or photos:

  1. Go to the PNG to JPG Converter.
  2. Drag and drop your files.
  3. Click Convert All.
  4. Our tool handles your files with full privacy protection and near-instant speed.

PNG vs. JPG: The Trade-off

  • PNG: Best for logos and text. Supports transparency. Large file size.
  • JPG: Best for photos. No transparency. Small file size.

Summary

Mac makes it very easy to convert files natively, but for professional bulk handling and privacy-focused conversion, imgKonvert is the perfect companion for your macOS workflow.
