Frequently Asked Questions

Which image formats can I convert?+

The converter accepts JPG, PNG, and WebP input and can export any of those three formats.

What happens to transparency when exporting JPG?+

JPG does not support transparency, so transparent pixels are placed on a white background during export.

Does changing maximum width enlarge small images?+

No. The maximum-width option only scales down images that exceed the selected width.

Does PNG to WebP conversion upload my image?+

No. The browser decodes and exports the selected image locally.

Can I compare the result before downloading?+

Yes. The converter shows the original and exported previews with file sizes and dimensions.

Can conversion make the file larger?+

Yes. File size depends on image content, dimensions, output format, and quality. The result clearly reports whether it is smaller or larger.
