Complete Guide to Image Format Conversion
What is Image Format Conversion?
Image format conversion is the process of changing an image file from one format to another. For example, converting PNG to JPEG or WebP. Each format has unique pros and cons, so choosing the appropriate format for your purpose is important. PNG supports transparency and is lossless but has large file sizes. JPEG has small file sizes but may lose quality due to lossy compression. WebP is a modern format with excellent balance between compression and quality.

Step 1: Click 'Upload Image' to select the image file to convert. Step 2: Select output format (PNG, JPEG, WebP). Step 3: If you selected JPEG or WebP, adjust compression quality with the slider (1-100%). Step 4: Click 'Convert'. Step 5: Once complete, compare original and converted images, then save with 'Download' button.
