Frequently Asked Questions

What happens when I convert PNG to JPG?

Transparent areas in the PNG become white in the JPG output, because JPG doesn't support transparency. If your PNG has a transparent background and you want to keep it, convert to WebP or keep it as PNG.

What quality setting should I use for JPG?

80-85% quality provides an excellent balance — visually indistinguishable from 100% quality at 40-60% smaller file size. Below 70%, compression artifacts (blocky areas) become visible, especially around text and edges.

Why convert to WebP?

WebP is the modern web image format supported by all current browsers. It is 25-35% smaller than equivalent JPG at the same visual quality, and unlike JPG, it supports transparency (like PNG). Google recommends WebP for web images to improve page load speed.

Is JPG the same as JPEG?

Yes — JPG and JPEG are the exact same format; JPG is just the shortened file extension from older Windows systems that only allowed three letters. If a website or form insists on a ".jpg" or ".jpeg" extension specifically, this tool outputs ".jpg" — you can rename the extension afterwards with no quality loss since the underlying format is identical.

Does converting to a different format improve resolution or quality?

No — converting only changes the file format, not the pixel dimensions or the detail captured in the photo. A low-resolution image stays the same resolution in any format. To change dimensions, use our Image Resizer; no tool, free or paid, can genuinely add detail that was never captured.

Can I convert an iPhone HEIC photo here?

It depends on your browser — Safari can open HEIC files directly, but Chrome and Firefox generally can't preview them without help. If your HEIC upload doesn't show a preview, use your phone's share sheet to export it as JPG first, then convert it here.

Can I download, print or email the converted image?

Yes — converting starts the download automatically, and the Print button opens the result in a print-ready tab (from which you can also choose Save as PDF). Email tries your device's native share sheet to attach the file directly; if that's not supported it opens your mail app with a reminder to attach the downloaded file.
