Image to JPG Converter

Convert Image to JPG Online

Bring whatever you have — PNG, WebP, HEIC/HEIF, AVIF, BMP, GIF, TIFF, ICO, PSD, EPS, or a camera RAW file (CR2, CR3, NEF, ARW, DNG and more) — and get back a standard JPEG that opens on any phone, browser or photo app. 36 input types are accepted, and you can queue several at once. JPEG is lossy and has no alpha channel, so this is the right call when you want a small, universally readable photo rather than an editable master. Files are uploaded over an encrypted connection, converted on our servers, and deleted automatically a few hours later — no sign-up, no watermark, never shared or made public.

How to Convert an Image to JPG

1. Upload Your Image File: Drag and drop onto the page or click "+ Add Files". Mix formats freely in one batch — RAW, HEIC and PNG can go through together.
2. Pick a Quality Preset: Open Advanced Options and set Quality Preset, which defaults to "Very High (Recommended)". Each preset maps to a fixed JPEG quality value, from 100 at "Highest" down to 50 at "Lowest".
3. Resize or Target a File Size (Optional): Use Image resolution — "Keep original" is the default, with Resolution Percentage, Preset Resolutions, Width, Height and Width x Height as alternatives. Or switch the compression mode to Specific file size, type a number, choose the unit (Megabytes is preselected) and tick Auto Scale to let the converter shrink dimensions as well as quality to reach that size.
4. Convert and Download: Click Convert and download your JPG. The File extension control lets you output .jpeg or .jpg — the bytes are identical either way.

What Each Quality Preset Actually Does

JPEG discards data permanently every time it is written, so export once at the highest quality you can accept rather than re-saving an existing JPG. Re-compression only stacks artifacts; it never recovers detail.

JPG vs PNG vs WebP — Which Output to Choose

Frequently Asked Questions

Does converting PNG or WebP to JPG remove transparency?

Yes, and it fills the transparent pixels with white. JPEG has no alpha channel, so anything see-through has to be flattened onto something. We checked what our converter actually writes: a transparent PNG run through the same encoder settings comes back with the see-through corner at pure white, RGB (255, 255, 255) — not the black matte you get from a naive JPEG export. If you need to keep transparency, stay on PNG or WebP instead.

Is JPG the same as JPEG?

Yes. .jpg and .jpeg are the same format and byte-identical inside; MDN lists .jpg, .jpeg, .jpe, .jif and .jfif as extensions for the one format. The three-letter spelling survives from MS-DOS, which capped extensions at three characters. The File extension control on this page lets you pick whichever your other software expects.

How much quality do I actually lose?

That depends entirely on the preset, and the mapping is fixed rather than adaptive: "Very High" writes JPEG quality 95, "High" 90, "Medium" 80, "Lowest" 50. At 95 the difference from the source is hard to see on a photograph at normal viewing distance. Below about 80 you start to see ringing around hard edges and blocking in skies and flat colour fields — which is why screenshots, logos and line art usually belong in PNG rather than JPG.

Can I convert HEIC photos from my iPhone to JPG?

Yes, HEIC and HEIF upload directly. This is the usual fix for sites and older software that reject HEIC outright. For that one pairing there is also a dedicated HEIC to JPG converter, which does the same job with the format pre-selected.

Can I convert RAW camera files to JPG here?

Yes — Canon (CR2, CR3, CRW), Nikon (NEF), Sony (ARW), Adobe DNG, Olympus (ORF), Panasonic (RW2), Fujifilm (RAF), Pentax (PEF), Sigma (X3F), Minolta (MRW), Hasselblad (3FR), Kodak (DCR), Epson (ERF) and Leaf (MOS) are all accepted. Rendering a RAW to JPG bakes in the exposure and white balance, so keep the originals if you plan to re-grade later; a JPG has none of the highlight-recovery headroom the RAW had.

Why is my JPG bigger than the PNG I started with?

Because JPEG is built for photographs, not for flat graphics. PNG compresses large runs of identical pixels extremely well, so a screenshot, chart, logo or UI mockup is often smaller as a PNG than as a high-quality JPEG of the same image — and the JPEG will additionally have visible ringing around the text. If the source is a flat-colour graphic and the JPG comes out larger, that is the format telling you it is the wrong container: keep it as PNG.

What happens if I upload an animated GIF or APNG?

You get a single still image — the first frame — because JPEG cannot store multiple frames. Worth knowing: this is true of most still targets here, so converting an animated GIF to PNG, WebP or TIFF also gives you frame one rather than the animation. The conversions that genuinely preserve every frame are Image to GIF and Image to APNG.

How do I hit a specific upload limit, like 2 MB?

Switch the compression mode to Specific file size, enter 2, leave the unit on Megabytes and enable Auto Scale. Without Auto Scale the converter only has quality to work with; with it enabled the pixel dimensions can come down too, which usually looks better than crushing quality alone. Shrinking a 6000-pixel-wide photo to the size it will actually be displayed at is almost always the cleaner saving.

Does the converter keep my EXIF data and photo orientation?

Metadata is carried through rather than stripped, so capture date, camera model and lens data survive. Orientation is handled slightly differently: a source tagged "rotate 90" has that rotation baked into the pixels and the tag reset to normal, so the JPG shows up the right way round in software that ignores EXIF orientation. If you want a smaller JPG afterwards, run the result through Compress JPG, which is built for shaving bytes off an existing JPEG rather than converting into one.
