Description

Overview

This page explains what the tool does, when to use it, and how to test it quickly with a built-in sample.

Convert images between JPG, PNG, and WebP.

Image Input

This tool processes a local image file in the browser. Upload a test image to verify the flow.

Use this tool when you need to move images between platforms with different format requirements. It is common in CMS uploads, web optimization, and document workflows where format compatibility matters.

Conversion happens entirely in the browser, so the original file is not uploaded anywhere.

When to use it

  • When you want to turn PNG into JPEG for a lighter file
  • When you need WebP or AVIF for modern browser delivery
  • When an upload target requires a specific image format

Format differences that matter

Changing only the format can still affect file size, transparency, and visible quality.

  • PNG: lossless and strong for transparency
  • JPEG: strong for photos but does not keep alpha transparency
  • WebP/AVIF: often better for modern web efficiency
  • Quality settings matter most on lossy formats

Common mistakes

  • Converting transparent images to JPEG and losing the expected background behavior
  • Assuming a new format will always be smaller
  • Forgetting that rotate/flip options are still active during conversion
  • Using one output format everywhere without matching it to the actual use case

Example input

File: logo.png
Options: format=image/webp, quality=0.92

Example output

image-converted.webp

FAQ

Is the image sent anywhere?
No. Conversion is handled only in the browser.
Will transparency be preserved?
PNG, WebP, and AVIF can preserve it depending on the source. JPEG cannot.
When does the quality option matter?
It mainly matters for lossy formats such as JPEG, WebP, and AVIF.
Can I rotate or flip while converting?
Yes. Rotation and horizontal or vertical flips can be applied during conversion.
Does changing format always reduce file size?
No. Depending on the source image and target format, the result can also become larger, so it is worth checking the output.
