Quick comparison
| Tool | What it does | Open |
|---|---|---|
| PNG to WebP | WebP typically reduces PNG file sizes by 25–35% with no visible quality loss. Conversion runs entirely in your browser via the Canvas API — no files are uploaded to any server. | Open → |
| WebP to PNG | Converting WebP to PNG is lossless — PNG stores every pixel exactly as-is from the WebP source. Use this when you need to edit the image in software that doesn't support WebP, or when distributing images outside the browser. | Open → |
| JPG Compressor | JPEG quality 75–85% gives the best balance between file size and visual quality for web images. At 80% quality, file size is typically 60–70% smaller than the original with no perceptible quality loss. | Open → |
| Image Resizer | Resizing an image in the browser is instant and private — no upload required. Lock the aspect ratio to avoid distortion, or set exact pixel dimensions for social media, email headers, or specific upload requirements. | Open → |
| SVG Optimizer | SVG files exported from Illustrator or Figma often contain editor metadata, unused definitions, and verbose attributes that add 30–70% unnecessary size. Optimizing removes this bloat while keeping the visual output identical. | Open → |
| JPG to PNG | Converting JPG to PNG does not improve image quality — PNG is lossless, but cannot recover detail already lost in the JPEG compression. Use it when you need a format that supports transparency or when a tool requires PNG input. | Open → |
| JPG to WebP | WebP is typically 25–34% smaller than JPEG at the same visual quality. Converting your JPG images to WebP is the quickest way to improve page load speed and Core Web Vitals scores without changing image dimensions. | Open → |
| PNG to JPG | PNG to JPG conversion reduces file size by 60–80% for photographs because JPEG uses lossy compression optimised for photos. The trade-off: JPEG does not support transparency, so transparent areas are filled with a white (or custom) background. | Open → |
