3. Adjust the quality slider if available for your chosen format.
4. Review the before-and-after file size comparison.
5. Click download to save your converted image.

Picking the right format for the job

Use PNG when you need transparency or the image has sharp edges and flat colors (logos, icons, screenshots with text): PNG's lossless compression keeps these crisp, at the cost of larger file size. Use JPG for photographs and complex, continuous-tone images where some quality loss is imperceptible but file size matters, especially for web use. Use WebP when you want the best of both. It generally achieves meaningfully smaller file sizes than JPG at equivalent visual quality and supports transparency like PNG, which is why most modern websites now default to WebP for photos wherever browser support allows.

Frequently asked questions

Which format should I use for a website?

WebP for most images where browser support allows, since it typically produces smaller files than JPG at similar quality; PNG specifically where you need transparency or crisp flat-color graphics; JPG as a broadly-compatible fallback if WebP support is a concern for your specific audience.

Does converting between formats reduce quality?

Converting from a lossless format (PNG) to a lossy one (JPG, or WebP at lossy settings) can introduce some quality loss depending on the quality setting chosen; converting between lossy formats can compound loss slightly if the image has already been compressed once. Start from the highest-quality original you have when possible.

Does it preserve transparency when converting to JPG?

No. JPG doesn't support transparency at all, so converting a transparent PNG to JPG will fill the transparent areas with a solid background color; use PNG or WebP if transparency needs to be preserved.
