Convert JPG, PNG, WebP, and ICO Without Losing Control

Choose the right image format, dimensions, and quality for websites, documents, favicons, and everyday sharing.

1

Start with the right workflow

Image conversion is useful when the source format does not match where the image will be used. JPEG is usually appropriate for photographs, PNG for transparent graphics, WebP for efficient web delivery, and ICO for favicons.

2

What to know, step 2

Start by choosing the destination format. Then set maximum dimensions rather than enlarging a smaller source image. Upscaling adds pixels but rarely adds useful detail.

3

What to know, step 3

For JPEG and WebP, adjust quality gradually and inspect the preview. A moderate setting often produces a much smaller file without an obvious visual difference.

4

What to know, step 4

For favicons, use a square source with simple shapes and enough empty space around the subject. Test the result at 16, 32, and 64 pixels before publishing it.

5

Put it into practice

A reliable workflow is simple: choose the format, limit the dimensions, generate a preview, inspect it, and only then download the result.
