Convert an image

Change the format. The pairs below are the five conversions people actually search for; the generic converter covers everything else your browser can encode.

JPG to PNG

jpg → png

Lossless PNG out, optimised on the way.

PNG to JPG

png → jpg

Transparency flattened onto a background you choose.

Image to WebP

any → webp

Usually the smallest of the three at the same visible quality.

WebP to JPG

webp → jpg

For the uploader that still refuses WebP.

WebP to PNG

webp → png

Keeps the alpha channel intact.

Pick the source and target yourself, with the format detected for you.

Choosing a format

JPG is the safe default for pictures and the format every upload form accepts. It has no transparency, and every save re-compresses, so it is a poor choice for anything you will edit again.

PNG is lossless and keeps transparency. Right for logos, screenshots, diagrams and anything that will be edited or annotated repeatedly. Usually much larger than the equivalent JPG, because it is not throwing detail away.

WebP is what to use when the file is going onto a website: typically 25–35% smaller than a JPG that looks the same, and it keeps transparency, which JPG cannot. Every current browser displays it. Some older desktop software and some print shops still do not accept it, which is whyWebP to JPG exists at all.

HEIC is what an iPhone saves by default. Image KB Reducer can read it but never writes it, because HEIC is not an option in browsers and is not what anything else is asking for. Drop a HEIC into the generic converter and pick JPG, PNG or WebP on the way out.

The transparency trap

JPG has no alpha channel. Converting a transparent PNG or WebP to JPG without handling that first turns every see-through pixel black — the single most common complaint about online converters, and the reason a logo comes back with a dark box around it.

Both of the JPG-output converters here composite the image onto a solid colour before encoding, and let you pick that colour. It defaults to white, because that is what a form, a document and a printed page expect behind a transparent logo or signature.

When your pair is not listed

Use the generic converter. It reads the source format from the file's own bytes rather than trusting the extension, and the target list only ever offers formats this browser can genuinely produce — so it will not offer you a conversion and then fail at the last step. If you are unsure what a file actually is, Image Info will tell you.

No conversion here uploads anything. Your image never leaves your device — the privacy policy shows you how to confirm that in DevTools.

Other tools

Compress3 tools
Make a file smaller. Start with a target size if a form gave you one, a preset if you just want it lighter, or the quality slider if you want to drive it yourself.
Resize4 tools
Change how big the picture is, in pixels or in millimetres. Two of these exist because application forms ask for physical sizes and a byte cap in the same sentence.
Edit4 tools
Change the picture itself, or what the file says about you. Remove Metadata is here because a photo carries a GPS fix and a camera serial number until something takes them out.
