What is Image?
The image family on Konvert.in covers the everyday raster formats people actually share online: JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF and BMP. All conversions happen in your browser using the Canvas and codec APIs, so files never leave your device. In practice, this hub is where you pick the right trade-off between visual quality, file size and where the image needs to open — a website, a chat app, a print layout, or an older tool that only understands classic formats.
Specifications
- Typical file size
- From a few kilobytes for icons and thumbnails up to 5–15 MB for high-resolution photos; modern codecs like WebP and AVIF typically produce files 25–60% smaller than an equivalent JPG.
- Quality
- Image quality is judged by how well fine detail, gradients and edges survive re-encoding at a target file size. Lossy codecs like JPG, WebP and AVIF let you trade sharpness for smaller files via a quality slider, while PNG and BMP preserve pixels exactly. On Konvert.in, quality settings map to standard encoder parameters, so a WebP at 80 behaves like a WebP at 80 anywhere else.
- Transparency support
- Yes — PNG, WebP, AVIF and GIF support transparency; JPG and BMP do not. Converting a transparent PNG to JPG will fill the alpha channel with a solid background.
- Animation support
- Yes — GIF supports animation natively; animated WebP and AVIF exist but Konvert.in treats these formats as still images and exports a single frame.
- Compression type
- Mixed: JPG, WebP (lossy mode), AVIF and GIF are lossy or palette-based; PNG and BMP are lossless (BMP is essentially uncompressed).
- Browser support
- JPG, PNG, GIF and BMP are supported everywhere. WebP is supported in all current major browsers. AVIF is supported in current Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, but may fail in older or embedded webviews.
- Compatibility
- Universally accepted by operating systems, image editors, office suites, social platforms and messaging apps. WebP and AVIF are safe for the modern web but may need a JPG or PNG fallback for legacy software, email clients and some print workflows.
Advantages
- Every conversion runs locally in the browser, so images never leave your device.
- Covers both universal formats (JPG, PNG) and modern high-efficiency codecs (WebP, AVIF).
- Fine-grained quality control lets you dial in exact size versus fidelity trade-offs.
- Handles transparency-preserving conversions between PNG, WebP and AVIF.
- No account and no upload queue — processing stays in your browser.
Disadvantages
- Very large images can be memory-heavy in-browser, especially on low-end devices.
- AVIF encoding is slower than JPG or WebP for the same input.
- Animated GIFs are exported as a single still frame, not as animation.
- Vector formats such as SVG are outside this family and are not re-rasterized here.
Common uses
- Shrinking photos before uploading to websites, blogs or e-commerce listings.
- Converting screenshots from PNG to JPG or WebP to save space.
- Preparing transparent logos and UI assets as PNG or WebP.
- Producing AVIF or WebP versions of hero images for faster page loads.
- Turning legacy BMP scans into modern, shareable formats.

Compression tips
- For photos, prefer WebP or AVIF at quality 70–80 before falling back to JPG.
- Use PNG only when you truly need lossless pixels or transparency; otherwise WebP is smaller.
- Resize the image to its actual display dimensions before compressing — most savings come from fewer pixels, not a lower quality slider.
- Strip embedded metadata and color profiles when they are not needed for print.
- Test the output at 100% zoom; visible artifacts usually appear in skies, skin tones and text overlays first.
Frequently asked questions
No. Image conversions on Konvert.in run entirely in your browser using local codec APIs, so the file never leaves your device.
For photos, WebP or AVIF at quality 70–80 gives the best size-to-quality ratio. Use PNG when you need transparency or exact pixels, and keep JPG as a universal fallback.
You converted it to a format that does not support transparency, such as JPG or BMP. Convert to PNG, WebP or AVIF instead to preserve the alpha channel.
Not currently. Animated GIFs are treated as still images, and Konvert.in exports a single frame during conversion.
There is no hard file size limit, but very large images may run slowly or fail on devices with limited RAM because everything is processed in the browser.
