Picking the right format

JPG gives the smallest files for photos but drops transparency. PNG is lossless and keeps transparency, at a larger file size. WebP usually lands between the two: smaller than PNG with transparency still intact, though a handful of older apps don't open it.

What happens to transparency

Converting a transparent PNG or WebP to JPG fills the transparent area with white before saving, since JPG has no transparency channel at all — that's standard behavior, not a bug, and it's worth knowing about before you convert a logo or sticker.

About the quality slider

The quality slider only applies to JPG and WebP, since PNG is always lossless and has no equivalent setting. Higher values keep more visual detail at a larger file size; for everyday photos, 80-85% is usually visually indistinguishable from the original while noticeably smaller. Drop it lower only when file size matters more than fine detail — a thumbnail or preview image, for instance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I convert several images in one go?

Yes, add as many as you like. One file downloads directly; more than one downloads as a zip.

Will converting to JPG lose quality?

JPG is a lossy format, so yes, slightly, controlled by the quality slider. PNG and WebP's lossless mode keep full quality.

What happens to a transparent background if I convert to JPG?

It's filled in with white, since JPG doesn't support transparency at all. Convert to PNG or WebP instead to keep it.

Does the image get uploaded anywhere?

No, the conversion happens locally in your browser using the Canvas API.

What quality setting should I use?

80-85% is a good default for photos — barely distinguishable from full quality but meaningfully smaller. Go lower only if file size matters more than visual detail.

Does the quality slider do anything for PNG?

No — PNG is always lossless, so there's no quality tradeoff to make. The slider only appears for JPG and WebP.
