PNG to JPG

74 Quality Score

Active Installs

18/30

With 9,000 active installs the plugin has a modest but real user base, well below mainstream image tools but enough to be a known quantity in its niche.

Update Freshness

20/25

The December 2025 update and compatibility with WordPress 6.9.4 signal that the developer is actively maintaining the plugin against current core releases.

User Rating

14/15

A 94 out of 100 score from 40 reviewers indicates strong satisfaction among the people who have actually rated it, though the small sample size limits how much weight that carries.

Support Health

8/15

Zero support threads opened and zero resolved gives no signal either way: there have been no complaints, but also no public evidence of responsive help if something breaks.

WP Compatibility

15/15

The plugin advertises support back to WordPress 3.0.1, which gives it an unusually wide compatibility range and likely contributes to its perfect compatibility score.

What It Does

PNG to JPG is a single-purpose conversion tool that batch-converts PNG images stored in your WordPress Media Library into JPG format. The compression reduces file sizes for faster page loads and lower storage use. It does not offer broader image optimization, resizing, or WebP/AVIF conversion.

Who It's For

This plugin fits site owners who have already accumulated a large library of PNG files in WordPress and want to reclaim disk space and trim page weight without manually re-exporting images from Photoshop. It is most useful for content-heavy sites like photography blogs, travel journals, and news outlets where older PNGs are weighing down backups and shared hosting quotas.

Who Should Skip It

If you are starting a new site or already using a modern image optimizer like EWWW Image Optimizer, ShortPixel, or Imagify, you likely do not need this because those tools handle format conversion, compression, and WebP delivery in one workflow. Sites that rely on transparency for logos, product cutouts, or UI elements should also skip it, since JPG cannot preserve alpha channels.

The Bottom Line

PNG to JPG solves one specific problem and does it well enough that nearly everyone who tried it gave it a high rating. It is not a replacement for a full image optimization stack, and the lack of any support history means you are trusting a single developer. Use it as a targeted cleanup utility, not as your long-term image strategy.
