Thanks to devices such as mobile phones or digital cameras, image management is more common than years ago. This makes it more common to use image editors such as Photoshop or Gimp, very powerful tools that require learning that in many cases we do not have or do not want to have.
In many cases, editing these images simply involves compressing the image or changing the file format . Here are three ways to compress or convert a PNG image to JPG format.
Paint
The old Windows tool is useful for basic tasks, and it still handles compression and format conversion very well. So, to convert a PNG image to JPG, we need to open the image. Once open, we go to the File menu and select Save As… In this menu, we save the file with the same name but change the format, selecting JPG, and save the file . Now we'll have two images: one in PNG format and one in JPG format.
web application
The internet is constantly offering us more services. One such service is web-based functionality. In this case, there's a web application called PNG2JPG that allows us to easily convert PNG images to JPG. We simply go to its website and upload the PNG image we want to convert. Once the image is converted, the web application will offer us the option to download it in JPG format. All of this is free and doesn't capture any of our data.
Windows application
The third way to convert a PNG image to JPG is by using third-party applications. In this case, we'll use a free tool called XnConvert . This tool is in English but is very intuitive . Besides converting various file formats, it can also convert a PNG image to JPG. The process is simple, and the tool is free.
Conclusion
We've shown you three ways to convert your images here, but they aren't the only ones. Other methods exist, and above all, there are professional tools like Adobe Photoshop. Personally, in these cases, the best option is Paint , a tool included with any Windows system and easy to use. But the choice is always yours.
