Simple Image Converter
Convert images between formats (JPG, PNG, WEBP).
What is an Image Converter?
An image converter is a tool that transforms an image file from one format (like JPG) to another (like WEBP or PNG) while attempting to maintain visual quality. It allows you to optimize images for different use cases, such as website speed, transparency support, or print quality.
Why Convert Image Formats?
Different image formats serve different purposes. Choosing the right one can significantly impact your website's performance and user experience:
- WEBP (Recommended for Web): A modern format that provides superior compression for images on the web. It's often 26% smaller than PNGs and 25-34% smaller than JPEGs.
- JPG / JPEG: Best for photographs with many colors. It uses lossy compression to keep file sizes small but doesn't support transparency.
- PNG: Ideal for graphics, logos, and images requiring transparent backgrounds. It uses lossless compression, preserving all image detail.
How to Use This Converter
- Select Image: Click "Choose File" to upload the image you want to convert.
- Choose Format: Select your desired output format (JPG, PNG, or WEBP).
- Set Quality: Adjust the quality slider (0-100). For web use, 80-90 is usually a good balance between size and quality.
- Convert & Download: Click "Convert Image" to process the file, then download the optimized version.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does converting to WEBP lose quality?
WEBP supports both lossy and lossless compression. If you set the quality to 100% or use lossless mode, you won't lose quality. At lower settings, it intelligently reduces file size with minimal visual impact.
