PNG images are widely appreciated for their lossless compression and support for transparency. However, their relatively larger file size can slow down loading speeds and increase storage needs. On the other hand, JPG offers smaller file sizes thanks to efficient compression, making it ideal for web, mobile, and cross-platform use.

By converting PNG files to JPG, you can strike the right balance between quality, performance, and compatibility.

Why Use Aspose.Imaging Cloud SDK for .NET?

The Aspose.Imaging Cloud SDK for .NET makes the process of converting PNG images to JPG seamless. It provides:

  • A cloud-first approach, eliminating the need for heavy local libraries.
  • Easy integration into any C# .NET application.
  • Simplified API calls for common image operations.
  • High-performance cloud-based processing.
  • Automated conversion workflows with minimal coding.

Install Aspose.Cells Cloud SDK

First, add the SDK to your .NET project using NuGet:

Install-Package Aspose.Imaging-Cloud

Then, sign up at the Aspose Cloud Dashboard to create a Client ID and Client Secret for API access.

Convert PNG to JPG using C# .NET

Below is a simple code example to convert a PNG file to JPG format:

var imagingApi = new ImagingApi(clientSecret, clientId);

Create an instance of ImagingApi while using personalized client credentials.

using (var fileStream = File.OpenRead(inputFile))

Read the input PNG image into stream instance.

imagingApi.UploadFile(new UploadFileRequest(..);

Upload the input PNG image to the cloud storage.

var convertRequest = new ConvertImageRequest(...);

Create an object of ConvertImageRequest class where we specify the output format as JPG.

var response = imagingApi.ConvertImage(convertRequest);

Call the API to convert the PNG to JPEG format. The resultant image is as stream instance and can be saved to local drive.

Convert PNG to JPG using cURL

Alternatively, the usage of cURL commands is highly flexible and can be incorporated into automated scripts or workflows, enabling seamless image processing without the need for complex software setups.

  1. Get a JWT access token:
curl -v "https://api.aspose.cloud/connect/token" \
-X POST \
-d "grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXX-be35-ff5c3a6aa4a2&client_secret=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" \
-H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
-H "Accept: application/json"
  1. Convert PNG to JPG using the ConvertImage API:
curl -v "https://api.aspose.cloud/v3.0/imaging/{sourceFile}/convert?format=tiff" \
-X GET \
-H "accept: application/json" \
-H "authorization: Bearer {accessToken}"
- o "myResultant"

Replace

  • sourceFile - name of input PNG image
  • myResultant - name of resultant JPEG image
  • accessToken - bearer token generated above.
