PNG — lossless, supports transparency

What this tool does

Convert between common image formats — JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF. Batch a folder at once. Conversion runs entirely in your browser using native canvas and codec APIs.

The right format for the job

There is no universally best format. Each one was designed for a different content type, and the right pick depends almost entirely on what is in the image.

JPG — for photographs and any content with smooth color gradations. Lossy compression that looks invisible on photo content at 85+ quality. Bad for sharp edges, text, and transparent backgrounds (which JPG does not support at all).

PNG — for screenshots, logos, illustrations, anything with sharp edges or text, and any case where transparency matters. Lossless — every pixel preserved exactly. Larger files than JPG for photo content.

WebP — modern format from Google, supported in every browser since 2020. Has both lossy and lossless modes. Lossy WebP is typically 25-35% smaller than equivalent JPG. Lossless WebP is typically 25-30% smaller than equivalent PNG. Supports transparency. The right default for web delivery in 2026.

GIF — legacy format that still has one relevant use case (short animations). For static images, anything else is better. The 256-color limitation makes GIFs of photographs look posterized.

Common conversion needs

  • iPhone HEICs to JPG for compatibility with non-Apple platforms. Use the dedicated HEIC to JPG tool for that.
  • PNG to WebP to cut web asset size significantly without quality loss.
  • JPG to PNG when you need to add transparency to a photo (e.g., for a UI mockup with a cutout subject).
  • WebP to PNG when uploading to a platform that does not yet support WebP (some legacy CMSes, some email tools).
  • Animated GIF to WebP for size savings. Animated WebP is supported by all modern browsers and is dramatically smaller than the GIF equivalent.

Conversion is not free

Each conversion to a lossy format introduces some quality loss. JPG → PNG → JPG (round-tripping) loses quality on the first JPG step, gains nothing during the PNG step, and loses more on the final JPG. If you need both formats, keep a lossless master (PNG or original RAW) and re-export each format from the master rather than chaining conversions.

Browser-only, like every image tool here

The decoding and re-encoding both happen via canvas and the browser's built-in codec implementations. No server-side processing means no upload of your image, regardless of what is in it.

For related operations: compress for size reduction within a single format, resize for changing pixel dimensions, crop for changing aspect ratio.
