Short answer
PNG files can be converted to JPG in a browser without uploading them. PNG is lossless and stores photographs very inefficiently, so converting a photographic PNG to JPEG typically removes 80–90% of the file size with no visible difference. JPEG has no alpha channel, so any transparent areas are filled with a solid colour, white by default.

PNG is the right format for logos, icons, diagrams and screenshots of text, where lossless storage keeps every edge crisp. It is the wrong format for photographs, which is where oversized PNGs usually come from — a screenshot of a photo, or an export from a tool that defaulted to PNG.
The one thing to check before converting is transparency. JPEG cannot store it, so anything see-through becomes solid. Choose the fill colour that matches where the image will sit, or keep the PNG if the transparency is the point.

Frequently asked questions
How much smaller will the JPG be?
For a photographic PNG, usually 80–90% smaller. For a screenshot of text or a flat-colour graphic the saving is much smaller, and the JPEG may look worse — PNG is the better format for those.
What happens to transparency?
JPEG has no alpha channel, so transparent areas are filled with the colour you choose, white by default. If transparency matters, convert to WebP instead — it keeps the alpha channel and is still much smaller than PNG.
Does converting lose quality?
Yes. JPEG is lossy, so this is a one-way conversion. Keep the original PNG if you may need to edit the image later.
Why does my text look blurry in the JPG?
JPEG compresses by discarding high-frequency detail, which is exactly what sharp text edges are made of. For screenshots containing text, keep PNG or use WebP.
