How do you convert a PNG to JPG and what happens to transparent backgrounds?
Because the JPEG format specification does not support an alpha transparency channel, any transparent or translucent pixels in a source PNG must be flattened against a solid matte color (white by default, or customizable). The converter composited transparent areas onto the chosen background color and encodes the resulting raster using JPEG Discrete Cosine Transform quantization, typically cutting file size by 70% to 85%.
Key Takeaways
- JPEG has no transparency support; transparent areas flatten onto a solid background.
- Custom matte background color picker (White, Black, or custom hex).
- Reduces file size by 70%–85% for photographic PNG graphics.
- Batch convert up to 100 PNGs simultaneously with ZIP download export.
