Conversion Info
Which Format Should You Convert To?
Each format trades off file size, quality, and compatibility differently. Here's what the four output options actually mean before you pick one:
PNG
Lossless, and the only one of the four with a true transparent background. Best for logos, icons, screenshots, and anything with sharp text or edges. Files are larger than JPG.
JPG
Compressed and much smaller than PNG for photos. The quality slider controls how aggressive that compression is. No transparency support — best for photographs and camera images.
WebP
A newer format that supports transparency like PNG but compresses closer to JPG file sizes. Supported by all modern browsers — a good default for website images where load speed matters.
GIF
Limited to 256 colors, so it's a poor choice for photos, but it's the format to use for simple animated images and graphics with flat colors.
Common Ways People Use This Tool
Speeding Up a Website
Converting PNG screenshots to WebP typically cuts file size dramatically without a visible quality drop, which helps page load speed.
Sharing Camera Photos
Some cameras and phones save in formats like TIFF or HEIC-exported JPGs that are awkward to share — converting to a standard JPG or PNG fixes that.
Meeting Upload Requirements
Many forms, CMS platforms, and marketplaces only accept specific formats — this lets you convert on the spot instead of hunting for desktop software.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this image converter free to use?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark, and no limit on how many images you can convert.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Conversion happens entirely in your browser using the HTML canvas API. Your image is never sent anywhere.
What is the difference between JPG and WebP?
WebP generally produces smaller files than JPG at the same visual quality, and unlike JPG it also supports transparency. JPG has slightly wider compatibility with older software.
Will converting to JPG remove transparency?
Yes. JPG does not support transparent pixels, so any transparent areas will be filled in with a solid background when you convert to JPG.
What does the quality slider actually change?
For JPG and WebP output, the slider controls how much the image is compressed. Higher values keep more detail but produce a larger file; lower values shrink the file further at the cost of some visible quality.
