JPG, PNG or WebP — select multiple files at once
PNG vs JPEG vs WebP — which should you use?
The right format depends on what's in the image and where it's going. PNG is lossless and supports transparency, making it the go-to for logos, icons, screenshots, and any graphic with flat colors or sharp edges — but it produces much larger files for photos. JPEG is lossy and has no transparency support, but its compression is excellent for photographs, making it the standard for photos on the web. WebP supports both lossy and lossless modes plus transparency, typically beating JPEG and PNG at the same visual quality with a smaller file — making it a strong default when you don't need maximum compatibility with older software.
Transparency, photos, and browser support
If your image needs a transparent background — a logo over a colored page, an icon, a product cutout — you need PNG or WebP; JPEG will fill transparent areas with a solid color (this tool uses white). For photographs, JPEG or WebP compress far better than PNG. WebP is supported by every modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) and most image editors and operating systems today, but if you're sending a file to an older tool or an unknown recipient, JPEG or PNG remain the safest universal choices.
Frequently asked questions
Should I use PNG or JPEG for my image?
Use PNG for graphics with transparency, text, or flat colors (logos, screenshots, icons). Use JPEG for photographs — it compresses photographic detail far more efficiently and produces much smaller files at a visually similar quality.
Does WebP work in all browsers?
Yes — all current major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) support WebP. The main reason to avoid it is compatibility with older software, some email clients, or tools that specifically require JPEG or PNG.
Will converting to JPEG remove my image's transparency?
Yes. JPEG doesn't support an alpha (transparency) channel, so any transparent areas are filled with a solid background color during conversion. If you need to keep transparency, convert to PNG or WebP instead.
Does converting an image lose quality?
Converting to a lossless format (PNG) keeps full quality. Converting to a lossy format (JPEG, WebP) can introduce a small amount of compression loss, though at the quality level this tool uses it's usually not visible.
