About the Image Type Converter
Different image formats have different strengths. This tool allows you to convert images between the most common web formats—JPEG, PNG, and WebP—to best suit your needs.
Why Convert Image Formats?
- WebP: A modern format that provides superior lossless and lossy compression for images on the web. Converting to WebP can significantly reduce file sizes, leading to faster websites.
- JPEG (JPG): Best for photographs and images with complex color gradients. It uses lossy compression, allowing you to control the file size by adjusting the quality level.
- PNG: Ideal for graphics with sharp lines, text, or transparency (alpha channels). It uses lossless compression, which preserves image quality but can result in larger file sizes than JPEG.
How It Works
This tool uses the browser's Canvas API to perform the conversion. When you upload an image, it's drawn to an off-screen canvas. You can then select your desired output format and quality (for JPEG/WebP) and download the newly converted image. All processing happens locally on your machine.
