How do I convert an image to JPG, PNG or WebP?

Choose your image, pick the target format and select Convert image. JPG is best for photos, PNG keeps transparency and sharp edges, and WebP gives the smallest files. The conversion happens in your browser.

Runs in your browser — your file is not uploaded anywhere.

PNG ignores this — it is always lossless.

  1. Choose or drop your image.
  2. Pick JPG, PNG or WebP.
  3. Select Convert image and download it.

Which format to choose

JPG (JPEG) is the most widely accepted format and suits photos, but it has no transparency — transparent areas become a solid colour. PNG is lossless and keeps transparency, ideal for logos, screenshots and graphics, but photos in PNG are large. WebP supports transparency and is usually the smallest, and every modern browser can display it, though some older software cannot.

Frequently asked questions

Is my image uploaded?

No. Conversion happens in your browser.

What happens to transparency when converting to JPG?

JPG cannot store transparency, so transparent areas are filled in. Choose PNG or WebP to keep it.

Can I convert iPhone HEIC photos?
