So considering all those benefits & negative factors, you should keep clean the website and increase web page load time to get a better user experience and search engine benefits. So one of the best ways to speed up a site is to convert a PNG image to JPG without losing original quality. You can check your website load time using the Google page speed tool.

But if you have a WordPress site and already upload so many PNG images, so what can you do? You have the best solution that we will show in this post. So let’s start.

Convert PNG to JPG Using a WordPress Plugin

In this plugin, you can easily convert your existing PNG images to JPG within just a few minutes from the WordPress dashboard even it works fine whenever you upload an image to WordPress.

First, Go to the WordPress dashboard and insert a plugin named PNG to JPG developed by KubiQ, then Install and activate it. We hope you already know this process of how to activate the WordPress plugin from the plugin section of the WordPress dashboard.

Now go to the ‘Media’ located in the left sidebar of the WordPress admin dashboard and click on the PNG to JPG. After clicking, you can see a plugin setting interface. Here you can control your JPG image quality. The default percentage is 90%, which is better for image quality.

So check all settings before going to convert.

Note: in this setting section, we will another suggest never select a transparent background image to convert jpg like your logo or other images. Because when you switch a transparent background image JPG format, the converted image’s background color will become white after saving. So do not select your logo if it is a transparent background.

After clicking the next step, the plugin automatically will detect all PNG images. Sometimes it takes a little time but it will depend on your image quantity. So wait until it finishes detection.

After completing the whole process now is time to select which png image you want to convert. Select all existing images instead of the transparent background images.

Then click on the ‘Convert Select PNG.’ In this step, wait until the converting process complete. When the plugin converts a png image to jpg, the saved image will be omitted from this part. After converting all photos, the window will become empty. Now you are done.
