How to Use the Image Converter

Upload your image, select the output format, download the converted file. Conversion happens instantly in your browser.

About This Tool

Different image formats serve different purposes. PNG uses lossless compression and supports transparency, making it ideal for logos, icons, and screenshots. JPG uses lossy compression that dramatically reduces file size for photographs by discarding visual detail the human eye barely notices. WebP, developed by Google, offers both lossy and lossless compression with better file sizes than JPG and PNG. BMP is an uncompressed format used in legacy Windows applications. This converter transforms images between these formats entirely in your browser using the Canvas API โ€” no files are ever uploaded to a server. Your image never leaves your device. Once converted, you can resize photos to specific dimensions or cut out photo subjects in the same workflow without re-uploading.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Image Converter upload my files to any remote server?

No. Every image is decoded, converted, and re-encoded entirely in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your original files and the converted output never leave your device, never touch the Toobits server, and are not uploaded to any third-party service. The tool works offline once the page has loaded.

Which input and output image formats does the Image Converter handle?

The converter accepts PNG, JPG/JPEG, WebP, BMP, and GIF as input. You can output to PNG (lossless with alpha), JPG (lossy, smallest files for photos), WebP (best all-round modern format), or BMP (uncompressed). Format conversion is done through the browserโ€™s Canvas API with quality controls for the lossy formats.

What is the maximum image size the Image Converter can handle?

There is no hard limit imposed by Toobits, but practical performance depends on your browserโ€™s memory and the Canvas APIโ€™s texture-size constraints. Most desktop browsers can comfortably handle images up to roughly 100 megapixels (e.g., 10000ร—10000). Very large RAW or uncompressed images may take longer to decode and re-encode โ€” consider compressing first if the conversion stalls.

Which format should I use for web images?

For photographs, use WebP (best compression) or JPG (widest compatibility). For images with transparency, text, or sharp edges (logos, screenshots, icons), use PNG or WebP. WebP supports both lossy and lossless compression and is supported by all modern browsers.

Does converting between formats affect quality?

Converting from a lossy format (JPG) to another lossy format (WebP) involves re-encoding, which can reduce quality slightly. Converting from lossless (PNG) to lossy (JPG) discards some data permanently. Converting from lossy to lossless (JPG to PNG) preserves the current quality but cannot recover lost detail. For best results, always work from the highest quality original.
