FAQ
Questions people ask about PNG to JPG
Why convert PNG to JPG?
JPG produces much smaller files for photographic images, which is useful for web delivery, email, and uploads where PNG would be unnecessarily large.
What happens to transparency?
JPG does not support transparency, so transparent areas are flattened onto a background colour. Set the background_color option to control what colour fills them (white by default).
Can I control output quality?
Yes. The quality option (1–100) trades file size against visual fidelity; 85 is a good default for most photos.
Can I automate PNG to JPG conversion?
Yes. Use the API to convert uploads or asset libraries automatically and deliver the JPGs to your own storage.
