What is JPG? JPG (also called JPEG) is a file format designed specifically for photographs. It uses smart compression to make files smaller while keeping images looking great.
When to use JPG: JPG is ideal for photographs, complex images with many colors, social media sharing, email attachments, and web uploads. Almost every device supports JPG, making it universally compatible.
File size advantage: JPG files are typically much smaller than PNG files, which means faster downloads and easier sharing. A high-quality photo might be 100KB as JPG but 500KB as PNG.
Quality settings: You can adjust JPG quality settings. Higher quality means larger file size but better image appearance. Lower quality reduces file size but may show compression artifacts.
Converting to JPG: Using our tool, convert any image format (PNG, WEBP, BMP, etc.) to JPG in seconds. Perfect for ensuring compatibility with older devices or specific requirements.
Pro tip: For photographs and social media, JPG with 80-85% quality provides the best balance between quality and file size.
