What is an Image Converter?
The Image Converter is a free tool that converts image files between formats like PNG, JPG, and WebP right in your browser. There's nothing to install and nothing to upload to a server — just add an image, click the format button you want, and download the converted file instantly. It's useful for shrinking image size with WebP for a website, switching a photo to JPG when you don't need transparency, or converting back to lossless PNG for further editing.
How to use it
Drag and drop the image you want to convert, or use the Choose File button to attach it — you can add several files at once. Once a file is added, PNG, JPG, and WebP buttons appear below it; click the format you want and it converts instantly to just that format. When it's done, a Save button appears — click it to download the converted file. Want another format too? Just click a different format button on the same file.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I convert multiple images at once?
- Yes — you can add several files at once, and choose a different output format for each one individually.
- Is my image uploaded to a server?
- No. Everything happens right in your browser — nothing is uploaded or stored on a server.
- What formats are supported?
- You can convert to PNG, JPG (JPEG), or WebP.
- Will the quality get worse?
- PNG is lossless, so there's no quality loss. JPG and WebP use light lossy compression, but for everyday use the difference is barely noticeable.
- Does it just rename the file extension, or actually convert the format?
- It doesn't just rename the extension — the image is redrawn on a canvas and re-encoded using the real encoding of the format you picked. That's why the file size actually changes before and after conversion.
