Frequently Asked Questions
Is this converter free?
Yes, completely free. There are no limits on the number of conversions, no file size restrictions, and no account required.
Is my image data safe?
Absolutely. Your files never leave your device. All conversion happens locally in your browser using the Canvas API — no data is uploaded to any server.
What browsers are supported?
This converter works in all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. Some output formats (AVIF, WebP) may have limited support in older browsers.
Can I convert multiple files at once?
Yes. You can drop or select multiple PNG files and they will all be converted to JPEG in sequence.
Will I lose quality when converting?
Since JPEG uses lossy compression, there will be a small quality reduction. You can minimize this by using a higher quality setting (90–100%). The difference is usually imperceptible for photographs.
