The short answer
Why use Image Converter?
A smaller or correctly formatted file is easier to upload, email, and publish. The side-by-side workflow also makes it obvious when a setting has gone too far.
Image Converter focuses on changing an image to JPEG, PNG, WebP, or AVIF. Raster changes are calculated from decoded pixels. The browser creates a new file, so you can compare the result with the source and keep both.
The selected file stays in this browser tab and is released when you leave the page. Check fine text, hair, gradients, and hard edges at full size. Those areas reveal compression damage first.
What Image Converter does
Drop in a photo
Drop, choose, or paste a supported file into Image Converter. Changing an image to JPEG, PNG, WebP, or AVIF. The source stays on your device; we work on a copy.
See the pixels change
Image Converter is for changing an image to JPEG, PNG, WebP, or AVIF. The preview is the place to decide if the setting went too far. The original file is not overwritten.
Useful controls
Main controls: Dimensions, quality, or output format, depending on the tool. Working limit: 50 MB and 50 megapixels per image. Watch the preview at full size before you save. A current desktop browser usually has more memory than a phone.
Download a copy
Export is jpeg, png, webp, or avif where the selected browser codec is available. The download is a new file. Keep the original until you have opened the copy once.
Where Image Converter fits
These are ordinary jobs where the focused controls save time. They also show where a full editor or a manual review may still be the better choice.
Website uploads
Meet a form or CMS file-size requirement without changing the original file.
Email and chat
Make a copy that is quicker to send while keeping the picture readable.
Format cleanup
Create a predictable file type before handing the image to another app.
