❓ FAQ
Does converting PNG to JPG lose quality?
Slightly yes — JPG uses lossy compression. At 85% quality, it's nearly indistinguishable visually but much smaller. For logos and text, stick with PNG.
What happens to PNG transparency when converting to JPG?
Transparent areas become solid white (default). If your PNG has a transparent background, the background will become white in the JPG output.
Is the Toolskuy PNG to JPG converter free?

Can I convert multiple PNG files at once?
