About the Image Converter

This switches an image between the three formats the web runs on — JPG, PNG and WebP — so you can get the format a site, app or workflow needs. Convert a PNG screenshot to a smaller JPG for email, turn a photo into modern WebP for a faster website, or produce a PNG when you need transparency or lossless quality. Each format has strengths, and this lets you move between them freely.

How it works — choosing a format

The image is decoded and re-encoded to your chosen format on a canvas in your browser:

JPG — small files for photos; no transparency; lossy.
PNG — lossless and supports transparency; larger files; best for graphics, screenshots and logos.
WebP — modern format that's usually the smallest at a given quality and supports transparency; occasionally unsupported by very old software.

For the lossy formats (JPG, WebP) you can set the quality. The converted file downloads directly.

Assumptions and behaviour

Quality is adjustable for JPG and WebP; PNG is always lossless.
WebP and PNG keep transparency; JPG does not.
Conversion keeps the original pixel dimensions — it changes the format, not the size.
Re-encoding through the canvas strips EXIF metadata (including location).

Limitations

Converting to JPG removes transparency. Transparent areas are filled with a solid background, since JPG can't store an alpha channel — use PNG or WebP to keep transparency.
Lossy conversion loses a little quality. Going to JPG or WebP re-compresses the image; converting a JPG to PNG makes the file lossless from that point but can't recover detail already lost.
WebP support, while now broad, may be missing in some very old apps or systems — use JPG/PNG there.
It converts one image at a time and doesn't resize or crop; combine with the Resize tool if you need both.

Privacy

Conversion runs entirely in your browser with the Canvas API. Your image is never uploaded or stored.

Frequently asked questions

Is this image converter free?

Yes — free, no sign-up, no limits, runs in your browser.

Are my images uploaded?

No. Conversion happens locally with the Canvas API; your images never leave your device.

Which formats can it convert between?

JPG, PNG and WebP — the three main web image formats — in any direction.

What happens to transparency when I convert to JPG?

It's lost. JPG can't store transparency, so transparent areas become a solid background. Convert to PNG or WebP to keep them transparent.

Which format should I pick?

JPG for small photo files, PNG for lossless quality and transparency (graphics, screenshots), and WebP for the smallest modern files with transparency support.

Does converting reduce quality?

Converting to a lossy format (JPG/WebP) re-compresses and loses a little quality. Converting to PNG is lossless from that point but can't restore detail already gone.

Will it also resize my image?

No, it only changes the format at the same dimensions. Use the Resize Image tool if you also need to change the size.
