Convert Images for Compatibility and File Size
When this applies
Use this guide when you need the right format for the right channel: compatibility, transparency support, and performance.
Tool to use
Convert between image formats.
Open Convert Image →Steps
- 1Identify destination channel (web, email, design handoff, upload constraints).
- 2Choose output format based on transparency and size goals.
- 3Convert and compare output visually.
- 4Run final compression pass if weight is still too high.
Examples
- WebP for web delivery with fallback JPG for legacy recipients.
- PNG for transparent logo overlays, then WebP for page delivery.
What to avoid
- Using PNG by default for all images and inflating page weight.
- Converting repeatedly across lossy formats and degrading quality.
- Ignoring transparency needs when moving to JPG.
