Image Format Converter
Convert images between JPEG, PNG, WebP, and BMP — entirely in your browser, no upload needed.
About
The Image Format Converter converts images between JPEG, PNG, WebP, and BMP formats entirely in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API — your image never leaves your device. Drop or select any image file, choose the output format, adjust the quality for lossy formats (JPEG and WebP), and click Download to save the converted image. JPEG conversion automatically fills transparent areas with white, since JPEG does not support transparency. PNG and WebP preserve transparency. The converter works with any image your browser can decode, including JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, AVIF, SVG, and BMP.
How to use
- 1 Drag and drop an image file onto the drop zone, or click to browse and select a file.
- 2 The image preview and file info (dimensions, size, format) appear immediately.
- 3 Select the output format: JPEG, PNG, WebP, or BMP.
- 4 For JPEG or WebP, adjust the Quality slider (higher = larger file, better quality).
- 5 Click Download to convert and save the image to your device.
- Which format should I use — JPEG, PNG, or WebP?
- Use JPEG for photographs and complex images where small file size matters and transparency is not needed. Use PNG for images with transparency, screenshots, logos, or images with text where lossless quality is important. Use WebP for web images where you want the best of both worlds — WebP supports both lossy and lossless compression and typically achieves 25–34% smaller files than JPEG/PNG at equivalent quality. WebP is supported in all modern browsers.
- Does my image get uploaded to a server?
- No — everything happens locally in your browser. The image is read using the File API, processed using the HTML5 Canvas API, and downloaded directly to your device. No data is sent to any server.
- Why does converting PNG to JPEG remove transparency?
- JPEG does not support an alpha (transparency) channel. When converting a PNG with transparency to JPEG, this tool fills transparent areas with white. If you need to preserve transparency, use PNG or WebP as your output format instead.
- What quality setting should I use for JPEG?
- A quality of 85–92 is a good balance between file size and visual quality for most photographs. Values above 95 produce only minor quality improvements with significantly larger files. Values below 70 can produce visible compression artifacts. For web use, 80–90 is typical; for archival purposes, 95+ is recommended.
