PNG (Portable Network Graphics) provides lossless compression with full alpha channel transparency, making it the go-to format for graphics, screenshots, and images requiring pixel-perfect fidelity. Created in 1996 as a patent-free GIF alternative, PNG uses DEFLATE compression and supports both indexed color (PNG-8) and truecolor with alpha (PNG-24/32). Files are 3-10× larger than equivalent JPEGs but preserve every pixel exactly.

PNG is universally supported and ideal for logos, UI elements, diagrams, and any content where transparency or lossless editing matters. For photographic content without transparency needs, JPEG typically offers better compression efficiency.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is the universal standard for photographic images, using lossy DCT-based compression to achieve 10:1 or higher compression ratios with minimal visible quality loss. First published in 1992, it supports 24-bit color and works across every device, browser, and application. The lossy nature means repeated editing and saving degrades quality—best used as a final delivery format.

JPEG excels at photographic content and remains the de facto standard for sharing, publishing, and web delivery. With mature encoders like MozJPEG delivering excellent quality-to-size ratios, JPEG continues to dominate despite newer alternatives.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to transparent backgrounds in my PNG?
JPEG doesn't support transparency. All PNG alpha channels (transparency) are automatically flattened to a white background (#FFFFFF) during conversion.
Need a different outcome?
- Preserve transparency: Use our PNG to WebP converter (30-50% smaller, full alpha)
- Need colored background: Add background in an image editor before converting
- Logos/graphics: Keep as PNG for transparency or convert to SVG
White background prevents black artifacts and matches how browsers display transparent PNGs on white pages.
How much file size reduction can I expect?
Will I notice quality loss?
When should I keep PNG instead of converting to JPG?
Keep PNG when: You need transparency, plan to edit further, have screenshots/graphics with sharp edges, or require pixel-perfect lossless quality.
Convert to JPG when: Sharing photos online, file size is critical (70-95% smaller), images don't need transparency, or uploading to services with size limits. For web use with transparency, consider our PNG to WebP converter instead.

What are the limits for this converter?
| Tier | Max File Size | Max Files/Batch | Parallel Processing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Guest/Free | 50 MB | 50 files | 3 at once |
| Pro | 1024 MB | 1000 files | 6 at once |
Note: File size limits are specific to this converter. Batch and parallel processing limits apply to all images converters site-wide. See all converter limits →
How are credits calculated for this conversion?
Cost: 1 credit per 10 MB
How it works:
- Files up to 10 MB: 1 credit
- 11-20 MB: 2 credits
- 21-30 MB: 3 credits
- 31-40 MB: 4 credits
Example: A 5 MB image = 1 credit. A 95 MB image = 10 credits.
Why per-megabyte? Larger files require more resources (processing, bandwidth, storage).
What are my daily and monthly credit limits?
Credit allocations vary by account tier:
| Tier | Daily Limit | Monthly Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Guest | 100 credits/day | — |
| Free | 100 credits/day | — |
| Pro | — | 12,000 credits/month |
Daily credits (Guest & Free tiers) reset every day at midnight UTC. Monthly credits (Pro) reset on your billing cycle date.
Note: With 1 credit per 10 MB, images under 10 MB cost 1 credit each. Pro users can convert 12,000 images per month.
