Convert images to another format

Turn a PNG into a JPG, a JPG into WebP, or a folder of mixed files into one format. The conversion happens in your browser.

Updated

Choose the format you need, drop your images and download them converted: PNG to JPG, JPG to WebP, TIFF to PNG and more. The conversion runs in your browser, is free and needs no account. Your images are never sent to our servers.

Each format strikes its own balance between file size, picture quality and the places that can open it. The right choice depends on where the image goes next.

How to convert images

  1. Drag one image, or a folder of them, onto the drop zone.
  2. Pick the output format (WebP is preselected).
  3. For JPG or WebP output, set the quality or keep the default of 85.
  4. Click Convert, then download the files one by one or as a ZIP.

Which format fits the job

For photos that must open anywhere, pick JPG. Every device, program and upload form takes it, and the files stay small. It cannot hold transparency, and since it is lossy, every new save costs a little detail.

For websites, pick WebP, which is also the default here. It produces lighter files than JPG at comparable quality, handles transparency and displays in all current browsers. A few older desktop programs and upload forms still turn it down.

For logos, screenshots and diagrams, pick PNG. It is lossless, keeps sharp edges and flat color clean, and supports transparency. Photos stored as PNG, though, end up large.

The remaining formats cover special cases. GIF holds only 256 colors, so use it only when something demands a GIF. BMP and TIFF are stored uncompressed or lightly compressed, and some print, scanning and older tools ask for them. ICO produces an icon file, scaled down to 256 pixels at most; for a complete set of website icons, the favicon generator is the better fit.

Quality, transparency and orientation

A conversion to PNG, BMP or TIFF keeps every pixel exactly. JPG and WebP are lossy, and their quality is adjustable from 1 to 100. At the default of 85, the result is visually indistinguishable from the source.

Changing the format cannot bring back detail that is already gone. A JPG turned into a PNG keeps the flaws it had; the conversion only prevents further loss, and the file grows a lot.

Transparent areas survive in PNG, WebP, GIF, TIFF and ICO. JPG has no transparency, so a logo on a clear background gets a white one when it becomes a JPG. Photos stored sideways with a rotation tag come out upright.

Converting a whole folder

Because the conversion runs on your own device, there is no batch cap and no daily allowance. Drop a folder of mixed files, choose one output format, and download everything as a single ZIP or file by file. Speed depends on your computer or phone. Each image can be up to 50 MB, with no account needed.

Some jobs need more than a format change. A pipeline chains several tools into one recipe, for example resize, then convert, then compress, then rename, and runs it over many files. Pipelines are free to try on up to 3 files, and Pro runs them on up to 500.

FAQ

Why did my logo get a white background?

JPG cannot store transparency, so clear areas are filled with white. Convert to PNG or WebP instead to keep them transparent.

Can HEIC photos from a phone be converted here?

Not on this page. Decoding HEIC takes a decoder on our servers, so those photos go through HEIC to JPG.

What happens to an animated GIF?

Converting it to JPG, BMP or ICO keeps only the first frame. To keep the motion, leave it as a GIF or make a short video.

How do I turn an SVG into a PNG?

Use SVG to PNG. It draws the vector artwork at whatever width you set, so the edges come out crisp.
