How to Convert PNG to JPG on Windows

PNG files are great because they support transparency and are "lossless." The downside? They can be huge. If you have a photo saved as a PNG, it might be 5x larger than it needs to be. Converting it to JPG is the best way to save space.

1. Using Microsoft Paint

Right-click your PNG and select Open with > Paint.
Go to File > Save as > JPEG picture.
Windows will warn you that any transparency will be lost (it will turn white). Click OK.
Your file is now a much smaller JPG.

2. Using imgKonvert (The Smarter Way)

If you want to convert many files and have control over the final quality, use a dedicated tool.

Go to the PNG to JPG Converter.
Drag and drop your PNGs.
Click Convert All.
Our tool processes the images securely and privately.
Download your optimized JPGs.

When to Keep it as a PNG?

Don't convert to JPG if:

You need a transparent background (JPGs don't support this).
The image has a lot of text or sharp lines (JPG compression can make text look "fuzzy").

For everything else, especially photographs, JPG is the winner.

Summary

Windows users can use Paint for a quick fix, but imgKonvert is the best choice for bulk conversion and maintaining the best possible quality-to-size ratio.
