What happens to your image going from PNG to JPG
- JPG can't store transparency, so see-through parts of the PNG are filled in white instead of going black.
- JPG is a lossy format. The Quality slider begins at 90%, which is indistinguishable from the original for almost any photo; slide it down for a smaller file and the preview shows the new size before you save.
PNG vs JPG in brief
- PNG is lossless, meaning every pixel is stored exactly, and it supports full transparency. That suits screenshots, logos and graphics perfectly, but a photo saved as PNG is often several times larger than the same shot as a JPG.
- JPG (or JPEG) is the photo format that works almost everywhere. Lossy compression keeps files small, but there's no transparency and each re-save throws away a little more detail.
Android phone tips
- Skipping a Play Store app means no extra permissions, no in-app ads and no storage used up.

Questions & answers
Does changing PNG to JPG lower the quality?
At the 90% default you won't be able to tell. JPG is lossy, so very low settings can bring blur or blocky edges.
Can I do a whole batch of PNG files?
Yes. Add as many as you want; each is converted separately, and Download all bundles them into a single ZIP.
Do my photos get sent anywhere?
No. Your browser does the conversion with your device's own processor, so your photos stay with you. Once the page has loaded you could even switch off your internet connection.
Where do I find the converted file on my Android phone?
Tap Download. The file goes into your Download folder – find it in Files by Google, in Chrome's downloads list, or in Google Photos › Library › Download.
