How to convert PNG to JPG without a surprise background

Convert PNG graphics or photos to JPEG while handling transparency, sharp edges, and quality deliberately.

Choose a background before converting transparent pixels because JPEG has no alpha. Inspect text and line art, which may be better left as PNG or changed to WebP.

Transparent pixels need a background in JPEG. White is used by default and can be changed.

Transparency must become a color

A transparent PNG does not contain a visible checkerboard. That pattern belongs to the editor. JPEG needs a real color behind every pixel, so choose white or another destination-appropriate background.

Know which PNGs benefit

Photographic PNG files can become much smaller as JPEG. Logos, screenshots, and diagrams may develop ringing around edges, so compare them carefully or choose lossless WebP instead.

Keep one clean source

JPEG re-encoding is lossy. Keep the original PNG for later editing and make a JPEG copy for the app or form that requires it.
