About image converter
Different websites and programs prefer different image formats. Converting between JPG, PNG and WebP, or turning an SVG into a PNG, lets you use the same picture anywhere.
Which format to pick
- JPG: photographs, small files, no transparency.
- PNG: screenshots, logos and graphics with sharp edges or transparent areas. Files are larger.
- WebP: modern format that is usually smaller than JPG or PNG at the same quality, supported by current browsers.
- SVG to PNG: turns a vector drawing into pixels for places that do not accept SVG.
About quality
Converting from a lossy format such as JPG to PNG does not restore detail that was already lost, and the PNG can be much larger. Converting to a lossy format discards some detail, so convert from the best original you have.
