✨ Pro Tips
🔄

JPG to PNG = Bigger File

Converting JPG to PNG won't recover lost quality — JPG is already lossy. It will just make the file larger. Use PNG only when you need transparency.

🌐

Use WebP for Web

WebP is supported by all modern browsers and is 25–35% smaller than JPG at equivalent quality. It's the best choice for web images in 2024+.

🎭

Transparency Warning

Converting a PNG with transparency to JPG will fill the transparent areas with white or black. Always choose PNG or WebP as the output if transparency matters.

📦

Batch Convert

Upload multiple images at once to convert an entire folder of files to the same format in one go — saves huge amounts of time.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Will converting formats reduce image quality? +
It depends on the conversion. Converting to a lossless format (PNG, TIFF, BMP) never reduces quality. Converting to a lossy format (JPG, WebP lossy) compresses the image, which can reduce quality slightly. Converting from JPG to PNG doesn't restore lost quality — it just changes the container.
Can I convert PNG to JPG and keep transparency? +
No. JPG does not support transparency. Transparent areas will be filled with a solid color (usually white). If you need transparency, keep the image as PNG or convert to WebP, which supports both lossy and lossless transparency.
Is WebP better than JPG for websites? +
Yes, in most cases. WebP offers 25–35% smaller file sizes at the same visual quality as JPG, and it also supports transparency like PNG. All major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) support WebP. It's the recommended format for modern web images.
Can I convert an animated GIF to another format? +
You can convert animated GIFs to WebP (which preserves animation) or to MP4/video format. Converting to a static format like JPG or PNG will only save the first frame of the animation.
Are my uploaded images stored on the server? +
No. All image conversion is processed in your browser using client-side code. Your images are never uploaded to or stored on any server, keeping your files private and secure.
What's the difference between TIFF and PNG? +
Both are lossless formats, but TIFF supports more advanced features like layers, multiple pages, CMYK color mode, and higher bit depths — making it the standard for professional photography and print. PNG is simpler, widely supported on the web, and great for transparency. PNG files are typically smaller than TIFF.
