Image Format Converter
Fast and private image format conversion. Switch from PNG to JPG to remove transparency, or JPG to modern WebP for lightweight delivery.
What is the Image Format Converter?
This tool converts images between JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, and SVG formats directly inside your browser with customizable quality settings.
Canvas Rasterization and MIME Encoding
The converter decodes source image bitstreams into an uncompressed RGBA pixel array in memory. For vector SVG files, it renders XML paths onto a high-resolution canvas. When converting to the destination format, the browserโs native image encoder (Canvas.toBlob) generates the target binary container with appropriate headers, quantization tables, and compression profiles.
