What Is Image Format Converter?

An image format converter transforms images from one file format to another. Different image formats have different strengths: PNG offers lossless quality with transparency support, JPEG provides excellent compression for photographs, and WebP delivers superior compression and optional transparency. This tool lets you convert between all three formats with a visual quality control for lossy formats. When converting to JPEG, transparent areas are automatically filled with white since JPEG does not support transparency. All conversion happens in your browser using the Canvas API.

Why Use Image Format Converter?

  • Convert between PNG, JPG, and WebP with one click
  • Quality slider for fine-grained control on lossy formats
  • Automatic handling of transparency when converting to JPEG
  • Clear format descriptions help you choose the right one

Common Use Cases

Web Optimization

Convert PNGs to WebP for 30-50% smaller file sizes while maintaining quality.

Compatibility

Convert WebP images to JPG or PNG for use with software that does not support WebP.

Transparency Needs

Convert JPG images to PNG when you need to add transparency later.

Social Media Requirements

Convert to formats accepted by specific platforms.

Technical Guide

Format conversion uses the Canvas API to decode the source image and re-encode it in the target format. The image is drawn to a canvas element, then exported using canvas.toDataURL() with the target MIME type. For JPEG output, the canvas is pre-filled with white to replace transparent areas. PNG encoding is always lossless. JPEG and WebP accept a quality float between 0.0 and 1.0 that controls compression level.

Tips & Best Practices

  • 4
    When converting to JPEG, transparent areas become white
