About this tool

About the Image Converter

An image converter changes your photo from one file format to another — the right format for the right job. Drop a PNG, JPG, or WebP into this free online tool, pick the target format, and download the converted file in seconds. Convert PNG screenshots to JPG for smaller email attachments, turn JPGs into WebP for faster websites, or make PNGs when you need transparency and crisp graphics. Your image dimensions stay exactly the same; only the encoding changes.

Two things are worth knowing. First, converting a JPG to PNG will not restore quality lost to JPG compression, and the PNG will usually be larger — format conversion cannot invent detail. Second, JPG does not support transparency, so transparent areas become a solid background when you convert a PNG with transparency to JPG. The quality slider applies to JPG and WebP output. Everything converts locally in your browser: no uploads, no queues, no accounts.

How it works

Three steps to a new format

Drop your image

Upload any PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, or BMP from your device — or drag it straight onto the page.

Pick a format

Choose PNG for lossless quality, JPG for photos, or WebP for the smallest modern file. Dial quality down for JPG and WebP to shrink the file further.

Download the result

See the original vs. converted file size side by side, then grab the new file — no watermark, no sign-up.

Good to know

Pick the right format

Each format has a job it does best.

PNG — pixel-perfect

Lossless compression keeps every pixel exactly as drawn. Best for logos, screenshots, icons, and anything with text or transparency. Downside: larger files.

JPG — photos

Lossy compression tuned for photographs and gradients. A quality of 80–90% usually looks identical to the original at a fraction of the size. No transparency.

WebP — smallest modern files

Supports both lossy and lossless modes plus transparency, typically 25–35% smaller than equivalent JPGs. Works in all modern browsers — the best default for the web.

Why is my converted file bigger?

Converting a heavily compressed JPG to PNG can't restore detail — PNG losslessly preserves the JPG's artifacts, so the file often grows. Convert toward the lossy format (JPG/WebP) to shrink things.

Examples

in a blink instead of a yawn.

Printer asks for JPG, not WebP.
Convert the approved WebP hero

zero quality surprises.

FAQ

Image converter questions

Which formats can I convert between?

PNG, JPG (JPEG), and WebP — in any direction. Upload any common image (PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, BMP) and pick your target format. Animated GIFs convert to a static first frame.

Does the quality slider affect PNG files?

No — and that's intentional. PNG is a lossless format, so it has no quality setting to adjust; every pixel is preserved exactly. The slider only applies to JPG and WebP, which are lossy: lower quality gives you a smaller file.

Will converting change my image's dimensions?

No. This converter keeps the original width and height in pixels. If you also need to resize, use the Image Resizer after converting.

What happens to transparency when converting to JPG?

JPG doesn't support transparency, so transparent areas are flattened onto a white background. Convert to PNG or WebP instead if you need to keep transparency.

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

Never. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using the HTML canvas API. Your files aren't sent to a server, stored, or tracked — safe for client work and personal photos.

How do I convert PNG to JPG for free?

Upload your PNG, choose JPG as the output, adjust quality if you like, and download — the conversion happens instantly in your browser.
