Image Conversion Guides

How to convert between image formats, compress photos for the web, resize images to exact dimensions, generate favicons, and encode images as Base64 — all without any server upload.

Converting WebP images to PNG or JPG

WebP files from modern browsers or design tools often need to be shared in a more compatible format. Use the WebP to PNG tool for lossless output (ideal for logos, screenshots, illustrations) or WebP to JPG for photos where file size matters more than transparency support.

Compressing images for the web

The Image Compressor uses the browser's Canvas API to re-encode images at a lower quality setting. Drop in a PNG or JPG and adjust the quality slider. For most web photos, 80–85% quality reduces file size by 50–70% with no visible difference at normal viewing sizes.

Generating a favicon from an image

The Favicon Generator accepts PNG or JPG images and produces a 32×32 .ico file. For best results, start with a square image with good contrast — favicons are tiny and fine detail disappears. The PNG to ICO tool gives you more control if you need a specific size.

Encoding an image as Base64 for CSS or HTML

The Image to Base64 tool reads your image file and outputs the data URL string (data:image/png;base64,...). Paste this directly into a CSS background-image property or an HTML <img> src attribute to embed the image without a separate HTTP request. Practical for small icons and loading spinners.
