Does converting an image reduce its quality?
PNG keeps every detail, so converting to PNG changes nothing. JPG, WebP, and AVIF give up a little detail to save space, and at the default quality the difference is hard to spot in a normal photo. Turning an already-compressed file into PNG grows the size without restoring anything that was dropped earlier.
Where do my images go when I convert them?
Most single images convert on your own machine and stay there. Converting to AVIF, or converting several at once, sends the set to our server, because that path zips them together, and those files are removed automatically about two hours later. Every page tells you which path it uses before you add a file.
Can I convert several images at once?
Yes. Drop two or more and the converter runs them as a batch on our server, shows a real progress count, and returns a single zip. Converting to AVIF sends a single file to our server too, while other single files convert on your machine. The choice is automatic, based on the format and how many files you add.
What is the best image format for the web?
WebP and AVIF are the modern web formats, usually lighter than JPG at the same visible quality, and both work in current browsers. JPG stays the safe choice for the widest reach, PNG is for transparency or exact details, and AVIF squeezes the hardest, though it takes a little longer to produce.
Which image formats are supported?
You can convert between PNG, JPG, WebP, and AVIF, the four main web formats. GIF works as an input, but only its first frame is read, and GIF is not available as an output. Other formats such as HEIC, TIFF, BMP, and RAW are not handled yet.
Why would I change an image's format?
Usually for one of three reasons: a site or app accepts only a certain format, you want a lighter file so a page loads faster, or you need an exact archive copy. The format you pick should match where the image is going to be used next.
What is the difference between PNG, JPG, WebP, and AVIF?
PNG is exact and keeps transparency, which suits logos and graphics. JPG is the long-standing choice for photos. WebP and AVIF are newer and usually much lighter at the same look, with AVIF compressing the most. Each one trades file size against detail in its own way.
How do I convert an image online?
Pick the format pair you need from the grid, drop your image on the page that opens, and the converted file comes back to download. Most single images are handled on your machine, while converting to AVIF or a batch runs on our server. You only choose the pair and add your file.
