Reduce final image: The picture will be scaled down proportionally

The converter allows you to convert images to the format you need online.

An image format is a way of encoding and compressing data. Just as you can print a regular photograph on plain, matte, or glossy paper, electronic images have their own format, quality, and color count. PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, BMP - are just different formats of the same image, each necessary for its specific purposes.

Image Formats

Printing an image on a printer can take varying amounts of time, depending on the printer's characteristics, paper type, and print quality. Similarly, an electronic image will display on the screen at different speeds, depending on its size, weight, and format. Page loading speed is just as important as before because along with internet speed, the development and quality of images have also kept pace.

How to Convert an Image

  1. Upload the image from your computer by clicking the "browse" button.
  2. Select the image format you need: PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, BMP
  3. Set the image quality, approximately 70%-80% will be imperceptible to the eye but will save a significant amount of kilobytes.
  4. Specify the image size by changing the width or height.
  5. Check the boxes if necessary to "make the image black and white" or "invert the image."
  6. Click the "convert" button.
  7. Save the converted image to your computer.

Why You Need an Image Converter

Nowadays, the amount of information contained in images has increased significantly. Therefore, various optimized image formats such as WebP have become actively used, which do not lose picture quality but significantly reduce the image weight in kilobytes and decrease page loading speeds on websites. There are also other space-saving formats that do not significantly degrade image quality, for example, if you change an image from BMP format to JPEG, to the naked eye, these two images will be practically indistinguishable, but the space they occupy on the hard drive will be reduced significantly.

Advantages of Different Image Formats

This is not the only advantage of the JPEG format; it is also very popular because most programs easily work with it, and it is convenient to upload to websites and send in messengers. The PNG format supports high image clarity and alpha channels (transparency), so it is often used for high-quality, large-volume images, but if the task does not require this, it is better to convert to a lighter format. The GIF format supports animation, meaning it contains several images and the time interval through which they replace each other, so it is mainly used only for these tasks; if the image is stationary, it is also better to convert it to a lighter format to save space and loading speed.
