// which format should I use?
- WebP: best compression, smaller files. Supported in all modern browsers. Use this for web images by default.
- JPG: universally supported, no transparency. Good for photos. Use when you need maximum compatibility (email attachments, older devices).
- PNG: lossless, supports transparency. Use for logos, icons, screenshots with text, anything where pixel-perfect matters more than file size.
- JFIF: JPEG File Interchange Format. A .jfif file is a JPEG; Windows and some email clients just save it with that extension. Picking JFIF here writes the exact same bytes as JPG, only the file name changes. Drop .jfif files in as input and they convert like any other JPEG.
Quality slider only affects lossy formats (JPG, JFIF and WebP). 85% is a good default; most people can't tell it apart from 100% but it cuts the file size by 40-60%.
Batch downloads: after converting, Download All
packs every result into a single converted-images.zip. The archive is
built in your browser and stored uncompressed, since JPG, PNG and WebP are already
compressed and deflating them again would cost time without saving space. Where the
browser supports it (phones and tablets, plus macOS and Windows desktops), a
Share All button appears alongside it and hands the whole batch to
the system share sheet. That is usually the better option on a phone, where
browsers will not download files one after another anyway; it drops the set
straight into Photos or Files.
Privacy: images are decoded into a hidden canvas in your browser and re-encoded in the new format. They never leave your device. Close this tab and they're gone.
