Choosing between JPG, PNG and WebP

Each format is good at something different, and picking the wrong one is the most common reason an image looks poor or a file is far bigger than it needs to be.

A simple rule: photos go to JPG, anything with sharp edges or text goes to PNG, and pictures for your own website go to WebP.

Common conversions and why people need them

• WebP to JPG. Images saved from websites and WhatsApp Web often arrive as WebP, and plenty of upload forms, older editing apps and printers won't take them. Converting to JPG solves this in one step.
• PNG to JPG. Screenshots and scanned documents saved as PNG can be 5 to 10 times larger than they need to be. As JPG at 85 to 90% they become small enough for email and for portals with a size cap.
• JPG to PNG. Useful when an application insists on PNG, or before editing an image repeatedly, since PNG doesn't lose more quality each time it is saved. It won't restore detail a JPG has already lost, and it won't make the background transparent by itself.
• JPG or PNG to WebP. For a blog, an online shop or a portfolio, WebP makes pages load faster on mobile data without a visible change.
• SVG to PNG or JPG. Logos and icons are often supplied as SVG, which many sites and office programs can't accept. Converting gives you an ordinary picture at the width you choose.

Settings that change the result

Quality applies to JPG and WebP. The default of 90% keeps photos visually identical to the source. Dropping to 75 or 80% makes files much smaller and is usually still hard to tell apart; below 50%, blocky patches appear around edges and in skies. PNG has no quality setting because it never discards detail.

Background colour matters only when converting to JPG. JPG can't store see-through pixels, so any transparent area, the empty space around a logo or a signature, is filled with the colour you choose. White is the default and suits documents; pick another colour to match a slide or letterhead.

SVG output width appears when you add an SVG. Vector files have no fixed pixel size, so you can render them at the size written in the file, or at 512, 1024, 2048 or 4096 pixels wide with the height worked out automatically. Choose larger sizes for printing.

Every converted file keeps its original name with the new extension, so photo.webp becomes photo.jpg. If you change a setting after converting, the results are cleared and the Convert button comes back, so you never download a file made with old settings by mistake.

Formats that may not open, including iPhone HEIC

The conversion uses the image decoder built into your browser. That covers JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP and SVG in all current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari. GIF animations are converted using the first frame only.

HEIC and HEIF, the default photo format on recent iPhones, can't be read by most browsers. If a file shows an error, the simplest fix is on the phone itself: go to Settings, Camera, Formats and choose Most Compatible for future photos, or share existing photos by email or the Files app, which usually sends them as JPG. Safari on a recent Mac or iPhone can sometimes open HEIC directly, so trying there is worth a shot. TIFF files and camera RAW files aren't supported either.

What stays private and what changes

Your images are drawn onto an invisible canvas in the browser and saved again in the new format. They are never uploaded, so converting a scan of your PAN card or a client's photos doesn't hand them to anyone. Large batches are worked through one file at a time, which keeps the page responsive even with dozens of images.

Because each image is written from scratch, the extra information stored by cameras, such as the phone model, date taken and GPS location, is not copied into the converted file. Colour profiles from professional cameras may also be simplified to standard sRGB, which can make strongly saturated photos look very slightly different.
