How to use the image converter

  1. Drop a PNG, JPEG or WebP image into “Your files”.
  2. Say what you want: “compress this image to webp”, “resize this image to 800px” or “convert it to png”.
  3. Compare the new dimensions and file size with the original in the answer.
  4. Download the new image. It was re-encoded in your browser and never uploaded.

The reason to do this locally

Image conversion is the most-uploaded task on the web, and the least necessary one. Every browser has had a full image encoder built in for years; sending a photograph to a stranger’s server to have it re-saved as WebP is a habit, not a requirement.

Screenshots of dashboards, scans of documents, photographs of whiteboards — the images people convert are frequently the ones they would least like to hand over.

What you can change

  • Format: PNG, JPEG and WebP, in any direction.
  • Dimensions, with the aspect ratio held.
  • Quality for the lossy formats, with the resulting byte size shown before you commit.
  • A preview of the output next to the original size, then a local download.

Drop it anywhere

Drag an image onto the page and it opens here with the file already loaded. The same gesture routes a PDF, a CSV, a JSON file or an HTML file to the tool that fits it.

Which format to convert to

PNG is lossless and comparatively large. Use it for screenshots, diagrams, anything with text or hard edges, and anything needing transparency — a JPEG of a screenshot smears every letter.

JPEG is lossy and old, and it remains the right answer for photographs where the artefacts hide in the detail. Quality 80 is usually indistinguishable from 100 at a third of the size.

WebP does both jobs and produces smaller files than either, which is why it is the sensible default for the web. Its limitation is not the browser any more; it is the occasional desktop application that still refuses to open one.

Resizing is where the bytes are

Quality settings get the attention, but dimensions dominate file size: halving both edges quarters the pixel count. A 4000-pixel photograph displayed in a 800-pixel column is carrying sixteen times the data it needs.

The tool holds the aspect ratio and shows the resulting size before you download, so the tradeoff is visible rather than guessed at.

Questions

Image converter: common questions

Are my images uploaded?

No. Decoding, resizing and re-encoding all use your browser’s own image pipeline. No request is made, and there is no server that could hold a copy.

Does it strip EXIF metadata?

Re-encoding produces a new file from decoded pixels, so camera and location metadata does not survive the conversion. That is usually what you want before sharing an image.

Can it convert HEIC or AVIF?

Only formats your browser can decode. PNG, JPEG and WebP work everywhere; newer formats depend on the browser you are using.
