Convert PNG to JPG for smaller files

PNG screenshots can be large. JPG is often smaller for photos and rich screenshots, but it removes transparency and uses lossy compression.

Common use cases

  • Shrink photo-like screenshots
  • Prepare images for email
  • Upload images to systems that prefer JPG

Steps

  1. 1Add PNG files
  2. 2Choose JPG output
  3. 3Review the result for transparency and readability

Mistakes to avoid

  • Do not convert logos that need transparency
  • Do not use very low quality for text-heavy screenshots
