A screenshot or export saved as PNG can be surprisingly large. Converting it to JPG cuts the size dramatically, which helps when a form or email has a limit. This tool does it in your browser, so the image is never uploaded.

How to reduce a PNG file size

  1. 1

    Add your PNG

    Drop in the large PNG.

  2. 2

    Convert to JPG

    The image is re-encoded as a smaller JPG on your device.

  3. 3

    Download

    Save the smaller JPG.

Why shrink it locally

Reducing the file size in the browser keeps the image on your device, with no upload needed to make it smaller.
