Everything runs locally in your browser: convert HEIC, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, SVG and JFIF into JPG, turn JPG into other formats, and compress photos, all with your images never leaving your device.

WHICH JPG TOOL TO USE

  • Convert HEIC, PNG, WebP or AVIF to JPG for a universally supported photo
  • Convert JFIF or JPEG files to a standard .jpg that every app accepts
  • JPG to PNG when you need lossless quality or transparency
  • JPG to WebP for smaller, modern web images
  • Compress JPEG to shrink a photo while keeping it sharp

Why JPG is everywhere

Excellent compression

JPG shrinks photos dramatically while keeping good visual quality, so files stay small and quick to share.

Universal support

Every browser, app, phone and operating system opens JPG with no extra software needed.

Made for photos

Lossy compression suits photographs and complex images with smooth colour and fine detail.

Adjustable quality

Turn the quality up for sharp results, or down for the smallest possible file size.

What is a JPG file?

JPG (also written JPEG) is the most common image format in the world. It uses lossy compression, which throws away detail the eye is unlikely to notice in order to make files much smaller.

  • Small files that are fast to upload, email and store
  • Opens on every device, browser and app
  • Ideal for photographs and detailed, colourful images
  • No transparency, and quality drops a little each time you re-save

JPG vs PNG: which should you use?

  • Choose JPG for photos, where small file size matters most
  • Choose PNG for logos, screenshots and anything with text or sharp edges
  • PNG is lossless and supports transparency; JPG is neither
  • For the web, WebP and AVIF beat both on size at the same quality

How do I reduce JPG file size?

  • Use Compress JPEG to lower the quality a little for a much smaller file
  • Resize the image if it is larger than it needs to be
  • Convert to WebP or AVIF for the smallest modern web files

JPG, JPEG and JFIF: what is the difference?

They are all the same format. JPEG is the full name, JPG is the short extension from older systems that allowed only three letters, and JFIF is the underlying file structure that some apps and phones use. Converting between them does not change the image, only the extension, so files open in more places.

JPG Converters FAQ

What is the difference between JPG and JPEG?

There is no difference. JPG and JPEG are the same format; the shorter .jpg extension simply comes from older systems that limited file extensions to three letters.

Is JPG or PNG better for photos?

JPG is better for photographs because its lossy compression makes much smaller files at good quality. PNG is better for logos, screenshots and images that need transparency or crisp edges.

How can I reduce JPG file size?

Use Compress JPEG to lower the quality slightly for a smaller file, resize the image if it is oversized, or convert to WebP or AVIF for the smallest modern files. Everything runs in your browser.

Can JPG files have transparency?

No. JPG has no alpha channel, so transparent areas are filled with a background colour. If you need transparency, convert to PNG or WebP instead.

Why do iPhone photos look different on PC?

iPhones often save photos as HEIC, which many Windows apps cannot open. Converting HEIC to JPG gives you a copy that works everywhere, with no app required.

What quality setting should I use for JPG?

Quality around 90 to 92 is the sweet spot: visually sharp at a sensible file size. Drop toward 70 to 80 when you need smaller files and can accept slight softening.

Are my images stored on your servers?

No. Every JPG conversion runs entirely in your browser, so your images never leave your device and there are no size limits or daily caps.
