Image Converter

Change any image to the format you need. Convert to WebP for web performance, to JPG for photographs, or keep PNG for transparency. Runs entirely in your browser with no uploads.

What this means

Formats trade off size and features: PNG keeps transparency and perfect quality but is large; JPG compresses photos well but has no transparency; WebP offers small sizes with modern quality.

How we calculate it

Formula

The canvas API decodes the source and re-encodes to the target MIME type.

Worked example

Convert a PNG screenshot to WebP for a website.

  1. 1Upload your image.
  2. 2Choose the target format.
  3. 3Download the converted file.

Important assumptions

  • Converting PNG with transparency to JPG fills transparent areas with black.

Frequently asked questions

PNG or JPG for my image?

Use PNG for logos, screenshots and anything needing transparency; JPG for photos; WebP for the smallest files on the web.

Why does my JPG background turn black?

JPG has no alpha channel, so transparent pixels are flattened to a solid color.
