Image Converter

This guide explains how to switch an image to a different format. Sometimes a new format makes the file much smaller with the same quality.

Why convert formats?

  • WebP or AVIF can be much smaller than JPG/PNG for the same look.
  • PNG is ideal for graphics with transparency and crisp edges.
  • JPG can be good for photos when you need compatibility.

  3. Pick your target format:
    • WebP — best general-purpose for the web.
    • AVIF — even smaller sometimes, but slightly slower to encode.

Tips

  • For photos, try WebP first. Compare the size and look.
  • For logos/graphics, use PNG or WebP with transparency.
  • If a site or tool doesn’t support WebP/AVIF, try JPG/PNG.

Troubleshooting

  • “Unsupported format”: Make sure your input is PNG, JPG, WebP, AVIF, or SVG.
  • “Too big”: Try resizing first, or upgrade for higher limits.

Convert and then optimize (MakeTiny)

You can combine the tools for the best results:

  1. Use Image Converter to switch the format (for example, PNG → WebP).
  2. Then open MakeTiny to compress the new file(s) even further without noticeable quality loss.

Why this helps:

  • Converting to a modern format (WebP/AVIF) often shrinks files a lot.
  • Optimizing afterwards squeezes out extra bytes while keeping it looking great.

Where to start:

Note: The converter uses automatic, safe defaults for output quality per format. There’s no quality slider — the goal is simplicity and consistently good results.
