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.
