Methodology & calculation rule
Flatten 32-bit RGBA onto solid white (255, 255, 255) → Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) Quantization
JPEG standard lacks an alpha channel. Transparent areas are permanently filled with white to prevent black background artifacts.
All image processing executes client-side within your browser sandbox via HTML5 Canvas and WebAssembly. No photographs, bitmaps, or metadata are ever uploaded to remote servers.
Output files are generated in-memory as local object URLs. Files must be smaller than 20 MB and under 24 megapixels.
Real-World Context & Technical Standards
Deterministic White Background Compositing
Because the JPEG baseline standard lacks an alpha transparency channel, transparent PNG pixels are composited against an explicit solid white canvas before DCT quantization, preventing unpredictable black background artifacts.
Significant Byte Reduction for Photos
Photographic snapshots inadvertently saved as PNG can shrink by 70% to 85% when converted to high-quality JPEG (quality 80-85), drastically improving web page Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) loading times.
Irreversible Transparency Discard
Once an image is flattened into JPEG, the original alpha channel coordinates cannot be mathematically recovered; original source PNG master files must always be archived for subsequent design revisions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why did my transparent background turn white?
JPEG does not support transparency. The converter composites alpha pixels onto clean white prior to encoding.
How do I choose the best quality level?
Quality 80–85 offers the ideal balance, yielding 70%+ file size reduction with virtually invisible visual degradation.
