How to use it

  1. Add your images

    Drop images onto the box, click to choose them, or paste one from your clipboard. You can add several at once.

  2. Pick the new format

    Choose JPEG, PNG, WebP or AVIF from Format. WebP is a good all-round choice for the web.

  3. Set quality and size

    Move the Quality slider: lower means a smaller file. To resize, pick Exact, % or Max (longest side) and enter the size.

  4. Compare before and after

    Check the preview and the new file size to make sure it still looks good.

  5. Convert and download

    Press Convert & Download. Several images are downloaded together as a ZIP.

Tips and common questions

Which format should I pick?

JPEG for photos that must open everywhere, PNG for graphics and transparency, WebP for small web images, and AVIF for the smallest files in modern browsers.

What quality should I use?

Around 75 to 85% usually looks the same as the original at a much smaller size. Go lower only if file size matters more than detail.

Will PNG to JPG keep my transparent background?

No. JPEG has no transparency, so transparent areas are filled in. Use PNG or WebP to keep them.

Privacy

Images are converted in your browser. They are never uploaded, so it is safe for personal photos.
