How It Works & Technical Architecture

Because the JPEG format lacks an alpha transparency channel, transparent PNG pixels must be matted against a solid color.

Softnag creates a canvas element, paints the selected background matte color (defaulting to clean white), and composite-renders the PNG image on top.

The composite buffer is then encoded into standard JPEG format using your chosen compression quality factor.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to transparent areas when converting PNG to JPG?

Because JPEG does not support transparency, transparent areas are filled with a solid background color (default white) that you can customize.

What quality setting should I use for general web graphics?

A quality level of 85% to 90% provides virtually indistinguishable visual fidelity while reducing file size by up to 80%.

Will text in screenshots remain readable after conversion?

Yes. At quality levels above 80%, high-contrast text remains sharp and perfectly legible.

Is there a limit on how many PNG files I can convert?

No. Softnag provides unlimited, unrestricted conversions with zero daily caps or paywalls.

Are my confidential screenshots private?

Yes. Processing occurs strictly in your browser. No files are uploaded to any server.

What happens to transparent backgrounds when converting to JPG?

Because JPG format lacks an alpha transparency channel, transparent pixels are replaced with your chosen background color (white by default).
