About Format Conversion

Convert images between PNG, JPEG, and WebP formats:

  • Convert between PNG, JPEG, and WebP formats
  • Quality control for lossy formats (JPEG, WebP)
  • See file size comparison before and after conversion
  • Preserve image dimensions and quality

💡 Tip: WebP offers best compression. PNG preserves transparency. JPEG is best for photos.

What It Does

An Image Convert tool allows you to convert images between different formats like JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, and others. Each image format has different characteristics: JPG is great for photos with small file sizes, PNG supports transparency and is ideal for graphics, WebP offers modern compression with transparency support, and GIF supports animation. The tool lets you convert from any supported format to any other format, with quality and compression options for formats that support them. This is essential for optimizing images for specific use cases, ensuring compatibility with different systems, or taking advantage of modern formats like WebP for better web performance. All conversions happen locally in your browser, ensuring privacy and speed.

Key Features:

  • Convert between JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, and other formats
  • Quality control for formats that support it
  • Preserve or add transparency when converting to PNG/WebP
  • Maintain image dimensions during conversion
  • Real-time preview of converted image
  • File size comparison between formats
  • Batch format conversion support
  • Privacy-focused - all processing in browser

How To Use

Converting images between formats is simple: upload your image, choose target format, and download the converted result.

1

Upload Image

Upload your image in any supported format (JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, etc.). The current format will be detected automatically.

2

Select Target Format

Choose the format you want to convert to: JPG for photos, PNG for transparency, WebP for modern web optimization, or GIF for animation.

3

Adjust Quality Settings

If the target format supports quality settings (like JPG or WebP), adjust the quality slider to balance file size and quality.

4

Preview Converted Image

See a preview of the converted image and check the new file size. Verify the conversion looks correct.

5

Frequently Asked Questions

1 What's the best format for web images?
WebP is generally the best modern format for web - it offers 25-35% better compression than JPG with the same quality, and supports transparency like PNG. However, JPG has universal browser support and is still widely used. PNG is best when you need transparency. For maximum compatibility, provide both WebP (for modern browsers) and JPG/PNG (for older browsers) using the <picture> element.
2 Will converting reduce image quality?
Converting between lossless formats (PNG to PNG) maintains perfect quality. Converting to lossy formats (JPG, WebP) may reduce quality depending on quality settings. Converting from lossy to lossless (JPG to PNG) doesn't restore lost quality - the quality is already reduced. Always convert from the highest quality original when possible.
3 Can I convert animated GIFs?
Yes, you can convert animated GIFs to other formats, but animation may be lost depending on the target format. WebP supports animation and can be a good replacement for GIF with better compression. Converting animated GIF to static formats (JPG, PNG) will typically use the first frame or a selected frame.
4 What happens to transparency when converting?
Converting from formats with transparency (PNG, WebP with alpha) to formats without (JPG) removes transparency - transparent areas become white or a chosen background color. Converting to PNG or WebP preserves or adds transparency capability. When converting JPG to PNG, you get a PNG file but the image itself doesn't gain transparency (it remains opaque).
5 Should I convert all my images to WebP?
WebP is great for modern web use, but consider browser support and your audience. Most modern browsers support WebP, but some older browsers don't. Best practice is to provide WebP for modern browsers and JPG/PNG fallbacks for older browsers using the <picture> element or server-side content negotiation.
6 Is my image data kept private during conversion?
Yes! All format conversion happens entirely in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to servers, transmitted over the internet, or stored anywhere. This ensures complete privacy and security for your images during the conversion process.
