If you're having trouble converting an image, here are some common solutions:

• Check file format: Ensure your image is in a supported format (JPG, PNG, WebP, etc.)
• Check file size: Make sure your file is under 20MB
• Update browser: Try using the latest version of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge
• Clear cache: Clear your browser cache and try again
• Try different browser: Some browsers handle large files better than others

If problems persist, please contact us with details about the issue.

Conversion speed depends on several factors:

• Image size: Larger images take longer to process
• Image complexity: Images with many details may require more processing time
• Your device: Processing power of your computer or device
• Browser performance: Some browsers handle image processing more efficiently
• Number of images: Converting multiple images simultaneously will take longer

For best results, we recommend converting images one at a time or in smaller batches.

JPG and PNG are both popular image formats with different strengths:

Use JPG for photographs where small file size is important. Use PNG when you need transparency or perfect quality for graphics.

WebP is a modern image format developed by Google that provides superior compression compared to JPG and PNG:

• Smaller file sizes: Typically 25-35% smaller than equivalent JPGs
• Better quality: Maintains better image quality at smaller file sizes
• Transparency support: Like PNG, supports alpha transparency
• Animation support: Can replace animated GIFs with better quality

The main drawback is that older browsers (especially Internet Explorer) don't support WebP. For modern websites, WebP is an excellent choice for faster loading times.

No, we do not offer any premium accounts or paid features. All of our tools and features are completely free to use without limitations.
