How to convert an image
- Choose the format you want in the Convert to menu.
- Drop your images in, or click the box to pick them.
- Download each converted file from the list.
Which format should you pick?
JPG suits photographs. It is small and works everywhere, but it cannot keep transparency. PNG suits logos, icons and screenshots, because it keeps sharp edges and transparent backgrounds, though photos saved as PNG are large. WebP usually gives the smallest file for both and is supported by current browsers, but some older programs cannot open it.
Good to know
- Converting to JPG fills transparent areas with white.
- Animated GIFs convert to a single still image, using the first frame.
- Converting from JPG to PNG does not bring back detail that JPG already discarded. The file may even get larger.
- All conversion happens in your browser. Your images are not uploaded.
Questions people ask
Can I convert JPG to PNG without losing quality?
The conversion itself loses nothing, but a JPG has already thrown away some detail when it was first saved. The PNG will look the same as the JPG, not better, and it will usually be a larger file.
Why is my converted file bigger?
PNG stores every pixel exactly, so a photo converted from JPG to PNG is often several times larger. WebP or JPG will keep it small.
What happens to transparent backgrounds?
PNG and WebP keep transparency. JPG cannot, so transparent areas become white.
Can it convert animated GIFs?
It converts the first frame of the animation into a still image. It does not create animations.
Is my image sent to a server?
No. The conversion runs on your own device, in your browser.
