The PNG → JPG cycle
The classic overweight-screenshot rescue: PNGs balloon on email attachments and form uploads, and this cycle brings them down to ordinary photo weight.
PNG carries transparency; JPG cannot keep it, so transparent areas flatten onto white. JPG lands at ordinary photograph weight. Either way, re-encoding through the canvas collects EXIF like lint: camera model, GPS coordinates and timestamps are stripped from the folded copy.
The usual reason for this route is a size limit. Screenshots saved as PNG are often several megabytes, and email, forms and chat tools reject or slow down on them. The JPG copy keeps the picture and drops the weight.
Look at text edges after converting. JPEG blurs thin high-contrast lines, which is why screenshots of code or documents can look slightly smudged at low quality. If that happens, raise the quality setting or keep the PNG.

Questions at the counter
What happens to transparent areas?
JPEG cannot store transparency, so transparent regions are flattened onto white. If you need the see-through parts kept, PNG or WebP is the right stock.
Why did my screenshot get blurry artifacts?
Sharp-edged text and flat colour show JPEG compression most. Wash Hot (higher quality) to keep text crisp, or stay with PNG when the image is destined for further editing, since JPEG re-compression compounds each time you save.
How much smaller will the file be?
Screenshots of documents and interfaces routinely shrink by 5-10×. Photographic content shrinks less, since PNG was never its natural home anyway.
Is the conversion really private?
Yes, architecturally. This page is static files; there is no server to receive an upload. Your PNG is decoded and re-encoded inside this tab by your own machine, and you can watch the absence of network traffic in your browser’s developer tools.
Before you convert
A converter can change the container. It cannot tell you whether that was the right call for this particular image. These cover the decision itself. They were written from building the encoders that run on this page, and are checkable against your own files.
