How can I bulk convert png to jpg on Windows 11 with the Photos app?
Hi all, I have a large number of PNG images that are taking up too much space on my Windows 11 PC, and I need to convert them to JPG to reduce the file sizes. I’d prefer to do this in bulk rather...

No, the Photos app on Windows 11 does not support batch conversion of images. It only allows you to convert one image at a time. For batch PNG to JPG conversion, you can use other tools instead.
I work in design and often need to convert different image formats. I have been using Any2Pic (https://www.uumeo.com/bulk-png-to-jpg) for two years and it is pretty good overall! I recommend you to try it!

Sure thing! Converting PNG to JPG on a Windows computer is pretty straightforward, and I've done it plenty of times. Using Microsoft Paint.
Open Paint: Just search for "Paint" in the start menu and get it fired up.
Open Your PNG: Click on "File" in the top left corner, then choose "Open" to bring in your PNG file.
Save As JPG: After the image loads, click on "File" again, then "Save As." You'll see a few options; choose "JPEG picture."
Name and Save: Pick your file name and where you want to save it. Boom! You now have a JPG version of your PNG!
When converting from PNG to JPG, remember that JPGs use lossy compression, meaning some quality might be lost. PNGs keep quality better since they're lossless, so if your image needs to stay sharp (like graphics or logos), think about whether you really need to convert it.
