About Image Format Conversion

Different image formats have different strengths and weaknesses. Converting between formats can:

  • Reduce file size while maintaining quality
  • Add or remove transparency support
  • Improve compatibility with different platforms
  • Enable animation support (GIF)

Format Comparison

Format Best For Features
JPEG Photographs Lossy compression, no transparency
PNG Graphics, logos Lossless, transparency support
WEBP Web images Superior compression, transparency
GIF Simple animations Animation, limited colors

Best Practices

  • For photographs: Use JPEG or WEBP
  • For graphics with transparency: Use PNG or WEBP
  • For web use: WEBP typically offers the best compression
  • For animations: Use GIF (consider video formats for complex animations)
  • Always check the converted image quality before use

Did You Know?

WEBP images are on average 25-35% smaller than JPEGs at equivalent quality, and 26% smaller than PNGs. All modern browsers now support WEBP format.
