A quick guide to converting PNG images to JPG — when to do it, why file size drops by 60-90%, and how to do it without uploading.
Why convert PNG to JPG?
PNG is lossless, so files are large. JPG compresses aggressively with minimal visible quality loss. Converting typically shrinks file size by 60–90%.
When NOT to convert
Never convert a PNG with transparency to JPG — you will lose the transparent background. Keep transparency as PNG or convert to WebP.
