Sometimes you come across a very suitable picture for your post and everything would be fine... But the background of the picture does not match the background of the blog or block with text. Apparently no one has this problem and no one has a white background, which would be suitable in most cases. I need transparent background!
I couldn't find any good ideas on the Internet. how to make a transparent background for the finished picture, so I started experimenting myself and found a more or less suitable solution!
How to make a transparent background for a picture
Let’s take as an example one simple picture in .jpg format (in general, the format is not particularly important):
There's a white background here that I want to get rid of and make a transparent background instead. An online version of Photoshop will help us with this.
Uploading our image. On the right in the “Layers” window a “Background” layer will appear, on which there is a lock (prevents the background of the picture from being deleted).
By double-clicking with the left mouse button on this lock, you can remove the lock from the background. A checkmark will appear instead of a padlock.
Now let's take magic wand(toolbar, right column, second button from the top), specify the following parameters: tolerance = 21, checkboxes for smoothing and continuity(usually such parameters are standard), although you can experiment with the parameters; and click on the background of the picture (in our case, on the white background).
Now we delete the background by pressing the “Delete” button and get the image we need with a transparent background.
As a result, the output is the same image with a transparent background.
The only negative of Pixlr- you cannot save the image in the .gif format, which also retains a transparent background, but is much lighter than the .png format. But if there is no other choice, why not take advantage of this?

Modern users encounter problems almost every day, while working at the computer, every now and then the need arises to convert a file with one extension to another. It is worth noting that such situations will accompany consumers until such time as they operate and exist personal computers. The need to change the format of pictures is one of the most popular needs; especially often there is a need to convert png to jpg. Often active users social networks or bloggers are faced with the problem of uploading images in PNG format to various services, the fact is that the practical majority of sites only work with those images that are saved in JPG format. No matter how beautiful and high-quality the file is, it will have to be converted to the required extension. However, despite the apparent complexity, the number software products so great that anyone can easily solve such a computer problem.
Users who do not see any fundamental differences between PNG and JPG should know that these formats differ from each other, first of all, in the methods of maximum image compression and purpose, or rather, in specialized features that predetermine their further logical use.
If we consider the PNG format as an extension designed for creating web graphics (mainly with an additional transparency effect), then the JPG format has a much more extensive purpose. Using this extension, absolutely all images that are not directly related to web graphics can be saved. Most often you can find a similar format when working with photographs. However, despite the various areas of application, some PC owners periodically need to convert png to jpg. However, in some cases there is a need to convert from one format to another.
Possible conversion methods
To turn a png image into a jpg picture, you can actually use a large number of different methods; everyone must choose the most optimal one for themselves, depending on personal preferences and computer skills.
Today, Photoshop is a very common product that is installed on almost every personal computer. Anyone who wants to work professionally with images and, in particular, photographs in the future is trying to master this cunning editor. With this program you can easily convert png to jpg.
To work directly in this graphic editor you will need installed program and images. The user needs to open a file with a PNG extension, find a subsection called “File” in the menu, and find the “Save As” suggestion in the drop-down list. The window for further saving contains several lists; in addition to the “File name”, you need to specify the corresponding “File type”. To convert to the required format, you need to select the JPEG line; files of this extension can be either *.JPG, *.JPEG or *.JPE. The advantage of this software package lies in its powerful functionality, as evidenced by the ability to create a specific macro that can independently perform some of the same type of actions, for example, renaming a large number of images.
Standard Paint program
A very simple and functional software package that does not need to be installed additionally can help you convert png to jpg. Paint - logical and simple program, which is installed on the computer along with the operating system; in addition, unlike Photoshop, it does not require, for example, professional knowledge and an expensive license.
You can use Paint's capabilities immediately after opening the program and the picture. In the list of possible operations presented by Paint, you need to find the “Save As” item, then a small submenu will appear in which you will have to find “Image with JPEG extension.” The user only needs to specify the location where he wants to save the image. However, when working with the built-in editor, you need to be prepared for the fact that the final resulting image may not have the same high quality as a starting point, therein lies the flaw standard program. Photoshop is a more powerful tool that is capable of producing equally high-quality pictures and photos as compared to the received ones.
Specialized sites and services
No less in demand are services and sites that operate online and allow you to convert png to jpg at any time of the day, provided there is Internet access. Despite the fact that the capabilities of most sites presented on the Internet easily and quickly cope with converting files in PNG format, the resulting images as a result of modifications are greatly distorted.
Along with such services, there are many free and paid utilities that allow you to convert any image. Their main advantage is the ability to quickly batch conversion when there is no need to perform the same action many times. Convertible pictures are opened as a whole folder and converted at once in large quantities.
Conclusion
Convert png format in jpg is quite simple, you just need to arm yourself with a specialized program, which may require the simplest knowledge to work with.
The main thing is to specify the picture on your computer or phone, and then click OK at the bottom of this page. By default, the plain background of the picture is replaced with a transparent one. The background color of the original image is determined automatically; you just need to specify in the settings what color to replace it with. The main parameter influencing the quality of the replacement is the “Replacement Intensity” and it can be different for each picture.
An example of a photograph of a pink rose without changes and after replacing the plain background with transparent, white and green:
First example with a rose flower on a transparent background made with the following settings:
1) Replacement intensity - 38;
2) Smoothing along the edges - 5;
3) Replace the plain background with a transparent one;
4) Trimming (<0) или Добавление (>0) at the edges - "-70";
5) Invert - disabled (not checked).
For creating second example, with a white background, the same settings were used as in the first example, except for the parameter: “Replace plain background with” - white. IN third example, with a green background, the settings are also used as in the first example, except for the parameter: “color in hex format” - #245a2d.
The original image is not changed in any way. You will be provided with another processed picture with a transparent or specified background.
The JPG image format has more high degree compression than PNG, and therefore images with this extension have less weight. In order to reduce the disk space consumed by objects or to perform certain tasks that require using only images of a certain format, it becomes necessary to convert PNG to JPG.
All methods of converting PNG to JPG can be divided into two large groups: converting through online services and performing the operation using software installed on a computer. The last group of methods will be discussed in this article. Programs used to solve the problem can also be divided into several types:
- Converters;
- Image Viewers;
- Graphic editor.
Now we will dwell in detail on the actions that should be performed in specific programs to achieve the designated goal.
Method 1: Format Factory
Let's start with special programs, which are intended for conversion, namely with Format Factory.
- Launch Factory Format. In the list of format types, click on the inscription "Photo".
- A list of image formats opens. Choose a name from it "JPG".
- A window with conversion parameters to the selected format opens. To configure outgoing properties JPG file, click "Tune".
- The outgoing object settings tool appears. Here you can change the size of the outgoing image. The default value is "Original size". Click on this field to change this setting.
- A list of different size options opens. Choose the one that suits you.
- In the same settings window, you can specify a number of other parameters:
- Set the image rotation angle;
- Set Exact size Images;
- Insert a label or watermark.
After specifying all required parameters click "OK".
- Now you can load the source into the application. Click "Add file".
- The Add File tool appears. You should go to the area on the disk where the PNG prepared for conversion is placed. You can select a group of images at once if necessary. After highlighting the selected object, click "Open".
- After this, the name of the selected object and the path to it will be displayed in the list of elements. You can now specify the directory where the outgoing JPG image will be sent. For this purpose, click the button "Change".
- The tool starts "Browse folders". After using it, you need to mark the directory where you are going to store the resulting JPG image. Click "OK".
- The selected directory is now displayed in the area "Destination Folder". After the above settings have been made, click "OK".
- Returning to the main window Format Factory. It displays the transformation task we configured earlier. To activate the transformation, mark its name and click "Start".
- The conversion process is taking place. After its completion in the column "State" the task line will indicate the value "Done".
- The PNG image will be stored in the directory specified in the settings. You can visit it through "Conductor" or directly through the Format Factory interface. To do this, click right click mouse by the name of the completed task. IN context menu choose "Open destination folder".
- Will open "Conductor" in the directory where the converted object is located, with which the user can now perform any available manipulations.
This method is good because it allows you to convert an almost unlimited number of images at the same time, but at the same time it is absolutely free.
Method 2: Photo converter
The next program that converts PNG to JPG is the image converting software Photo Converter.
- Open Photo Converter. In chapter "Select files" click "Files". In the list that appears, click "Add files...".
- A window opens "Add file(s)". Navigate to where the PNG is stored. Having marked it, click "Open". If necessary, you can add several objects with this extension at once.
- After the designated objects are displayed in the basic Photo Converter window, in the area "Save as" click on the button "JPG". Next, go to the section "Save".
- Now you need to specify the location of the disk space where the converted image will be saved. This is done in the settings group "Folder" by moving the switch to one of three positions:
- Original(folder where the original object is stored);
- Nested in the original;
- Folder.
When choosing the last option, the destination directory can be chosen completely arbitrarily. Click "Change…".
- Appears "Browse folders". As when manipulating Format Factory, mark the directory in it where you would like to save the converted drawings and click "OK".
- You can now initiate the conversion process. Click "Start".
- The conversion process is taking place.
- After the conversion is completed, the message will appear in the information window "Conversion complete". You will immediately be prompted to visit the directory previously assigned by the user where the processed JPG images are stored. Click "Show files...".
- IN "Explorer" The folder where the converted images are stored will open.
This method assumes the ability to process an unlimited number of images simultaneously, but unlike Format Factory, the Photo Converter program is paid. You can use it for free for 15 days with the ability to simultaneously process no more than 5 objects, but if you want to use it further, you will have to purchase the full version.
Method 3: FastStone Image Viewer
Some advanced image viewers, including FastStone Image Viewer, can convert PNG to JPG.
- Launch FastStone Image Viewer. Click on the menu "File" And "Open". Or use Ctrl+O.
- The image opening window opens. Go to the area where the target PNG is stored. Having marked it, click "Open".
- With help file manager FastStone navigates to the directory where the desired image is located. In this case, the target image will be highlighted among others on the right side of the program interface, and its preview thumbnail will appear in the lower left area. Once you have ensured that the desired object is selected, click on the menu "File" and onwards "Save as…". Or you can use Ctrl+S.
Alternatively, you can also click on the diskette-shaped icon.
- A window opens "Save as". In this window, you need to navigate to the directory of disk space where you want to place the converted image. In area "File type" from the list that appears, be sure to select the option "JPEG Format". The question is whether or not to change the name of the picture in the field "Object name" is entirely at your discretion. If you want to change the characteristics of the outgoing picture, then click on the button "Options...".
- A window opens "File Format Options". Here using the slider "Quality" You can increase or decrease the image compression level. But it must be taken into account that the more high level you set the quality, the object will be less compressed and will take up more disk space, and, accordingly, vice versa. In the same window you can adjust the following parameters:
- Color scheme;
- Color subsampling;
- Hoffman optimization.
However, adjusting the parameters of the outgoing object in the window "File Format Options" is completely optional and most users do not even open this tool when converting PNG to JPG using FastStone. After completing the settings, click "OK".
- Returning to the save window, click "Save".
- The photo or drawing will be saved with JPG extension in the folder specified by the user.
This method is good because it is absolutely free, but, unfortunately, if you need to convert a large number of images, you need to process each object separately using this method, since mass conversion is not supported by this viewer.
Method 4: XnView
The next image viewer that can transform PNG to JPG is XnView.
- Activate XnView. Click on the menu "File" And "Open…". Or use Ctrl+O.
- A window opens in which you need to go to where the source is located in the form PNG file. Having marked this object, click "Open".
- The selected image will open in a new program tab. Click on the diskette-shaped icon with a question mark on it.
Those who wish to act through the menu can use clicking on the items "File" And "Save as…". Those users for whom manipulation with hot keys is closer have the opportunity to use Ctrl+Shift+S.
- The image saving tool is activated. Navigate to where you want to save the outgoing drawing. In area "File type" choose from the list "JPG - JPEG/JFIF". If you want to specify additional settings for the outgoing object, although this is not at all necessary, then click "Options".
- Window opens "Options" With detailed settings outgoing object. Go to the tab "Record", if it was opened in another tab. Be sure to make sure that the value is highlighted in the list of formats "JPEG". After that, go to the block "Options" to directly adjust the settings of the outgoing picture. Here, just like in FastStone, you can adjust the quality of the outgoing image by dragging the slider. Other adjustable parameters include:
- Optimization using the Huffman algorithm;
- Save EXIF, IPTC, XMP, ICC data;
- Re-creation of built-in sketches;
- Selection of DCT method;
- Discretization, etc.
After the settings are completed, press "OK".
- Now that all the desired settings have been made, click "Save" in the window for saving the image.
- The image is saved in JPG format and will be stored in the specified directory.
By and large, this method has the same advantages and disadvantages as the previous one, but still XnView has a little more options for customizing the outgoing image options than FastStone Image Viewer.
Method 5: Adobe Photoshop
Almost all modern technologies can convert PNG to JPG. graphic editor, which includes the Adobe Photoshop program.
- Launch Photoshop. Click "File" And "Open…" or use Ctrl+O.
- The opening window opens. Select the picture you want to convert from it, after going to the directory where it is located. Then click "Open".
- A window will open telling you that the object is in a format that does not contain embedded color profiles. Of course, this can be changed by changing the switch and assigning a profile, but this is not required at all to complete our task. So click "OK".
- The image will appear in the Photoshop interface.
- To transform it into required format click "File" And "Save as…" or apply Ctrl+Shift+S.
- The save window is activated. Navigate to where you plan to store your converted material. In area "File Type" choose from the list "JPEG". Then click "Save".
- A window will open "JPEG Options". If, when working with viewers, you could not even activate this tool while saving the file, then you won’t be able to skip this step. In area "Image Options" You can change the quality of the outgoing picture. Moreover, this can be done in three ways:
- Select one of four options from the drop-down list (low, medium, high or best);
- Enter the quality level value from 0 to 12 in the appropriate field;
- Drag the slider to the right or left.
The last two options are more accurate compared to the first.
In the block "Variety of format" By rearranging the radio button, you can select one of three JPG options:
- Base;
- Basic optimized;
- Progressive.
After introducing everyone necessary settings or set them as default click "OK".
- The image will be converted to JPG and placed where you have designated it.
Main disadvantages this method consist in the absence of the possibility of mass conversion and in the payment Adobe Photoshop.
Method 6: Gimp
Another graphic editor that can solve this problem is called Gimp.
- Launch Gimp. Click "File" And "Open…".
- The image opener appears. Move to where the picture that needs to be processed is located. After highlighting it, press "Open".

- Optimize;
- Specify the subsampling and DCT method option;
- Add a comment, etc.
After completing all the necessary settings, click "Export".
- The picture will be exported in the selected format to the specified folder.
Method 7: Paint
But the task at hand can be solved even without installing additional software, but by using the graphical Paint editor, which is already pre-installed in Windows.
You can convert PNG to JPG using software various types. If you want to convert a large number of objects at one time, then use converters. If you need to convert single images or set the exact parameters of the outgoing image, for these purposes you need to use graphic editors or advanced image viewers with additional functionality.
