PNG to JPG: Shrink Files for Email
Screenshots saved as PNG files quickly fill an inbox and hit attachment limits. This tool converts them inside your browser, so files stay on your device. PNG is lossless and large; JPG is lossy and small, so a 2.4 MB screenshot can shrink to 320 KB at 85 percent quality. Transparent areas become white. Use 85 to 90 percent for screens with text.
Step by step
- Sort files first; set aside transparent logos.
- Open the tool and drop in the PNG.
- Choose a white background and set quality to 88 percent.
- Convert and download, checking the size is near 300 to 400 KB.
- Attach to email and confirm text is readable on a phone.
Example scenario
An accountant could not email a 2.6 MB PNG invoice screenshot. He set a white background and 88 percent quality. The result was a 340 KB JPG with figures still readable. He kept the transparent logo untouched in a separate folder.
Check your result
Open the JPG at full size; figures should read clearly. Confirm size is between 200 and 500 KB. If logo edges look rough, return to the PNG original. Archive the original before deleting anything.
