Practical guide
How to use convert image well
Image conversion changes the file format, not the underlying quality of the source. The best format depends on whether you need transparency, photographic compression, broad compatibility, or a smaller modern web file.
JPG is practical for photographs but removes transparency. PNG preserves transparency and sharp graphic edges but can be larger. WebP can support both photographic compression and transparency in modern browsers, making it a strong web-delivery option.

Quality checklist
- Decide whether transparency is required
