Convert Image

When the picture is fine but the format is wrong

A rental application portal says it only takes JPG, and the scan of your payslip is a PNG. Or you saved an image from a website and it came down as WebP, which your older editing app refuses to open. Or you have a logo with a transparent background and need a version for a web page. The image itself is fine every time; only the format is in the way. This tool changes it.

Which format for which job

• JPG is the most compatible. It opens everywhere and it is what most upload forms and offices expect. Good for photos, but it cannot store transparency.
• PNG keeps transparency, so it suits logos, diagrams and screenshots with text in them.
• WebP keeps transparency too and usually gives the smallest file, which is why it is the usual pick for images on a website.

What happens to a transparent background

JPG has no concept of transparency, so every transparent area turns white when you convert to it. That is harmless if the logo ends up on a white page or a printed invoice. On a coloured background, though, you get a visible white box around it. For that case, choose PNG or WebP instead.

One more thing worth knowing: converting a JPG to PNG does not bring back quality the JPG already lost. The new format stores the image exactly as it is, not better.

Converting a single image or a batch

1. Select one or more images. JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF and BMP are accepted.
2. Pick the output format: JPG, PNG or WebP.
3. Click the convert button and the converted images download.

Everything runs in your browser, and your images are never uploaded to a server.

iPhone photos and related jobs

iPhone photos saved as HEIC have their own tool: HEIC to JPG. If what you really need is a smaller file rather than a different format, the image compressor is the better fit. And if the images have to go in as one document, combine them into a PDF.
