You have a PNG. You need a JPG. Maybe a website won't accept your PNG. Maybe the file is 8MB and you need to email it. Maybe someone just said "send it as a JPG" and you're nodding like you know exactly what that means.
Good news: converting takes 10 seconds. But most guides stop there — and that's where people quietly ruin perfectly good images. Because sometimes converting is exactly right, and sometimes you're about to make your logo look like it was saved on a potato. Let's cover both.
Keeps every pixel perfectly. Nothing is thrown away. Result: perfect quality, larger files, supports transparent backgrounds. Best for logos, icons, graphics, screenshots.
Discards subtle details the eye doesn't easily notice. Result: files 5–10× smaller, tiny quality trade-off. Best for photos, web images, anything you're sharing or uploading.
One sentence that explains everything: PNG keeps everything. JPG throws away what it thinks you won't notice. For photographs, you won't notice. For a company logo, you absolutely will.
Photos of people, food, travel, products — these convert brilliantly. A 4MB PNG phone photo often becomes a 400KB JPG with zero visible difference in normal viewing. This is the best use case for this conversion, full stop.
Email attachment limits, upload size caps, slow mobile connections — JPG gets your image under all of these without sacrificing visible quality.
Page speed affects user experience and Google rankings. Photographs as JPGs load significantly faster than the same image as PNG. Smaller files = faster pages = better SEO.
⚠️ Important: JPG doesn't support transparency. If your PNG has a transparent background, converting to JPG will fill it with solid white. Your "transparent" logo becomes a logo on a white rectangle. For anything with a transparent background, keep PNG.
| Quality | Best For | File Size |
|---|---|---|
| 90–100% | Archival, professional printing | Still quite large |
| 80–85% ⭐ Sweet spot | Everything — web, sharing, email | 5–10× smaller than PNG |
| 70–79% | Thumbnails, social media previews | Very small |
| Below 70% | Tiny previews only | Noticeably compressed |
💡 85% is the magic number. It's what most major photo platforms use internally. You'll struggle to see the difference from 100% in normal viewing — but your file will be dramatically smaller.
