Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will converting reduce my image quality?

A: Converting between lossless formats (PNG, TIFF) maintains quality. Converting to lossy formats (JPG) involves some quality loss based on compression level.

Q: Can I convert multiple images at once?

A: Our premium version supports batch conversion of multiple images to the same format.

Q: What's better - JPG or PNG?

A: JPG is better for photographs, PNG for graphics with text/transparency. WEBP often outperforms both.

Q: How do I maintain transparency when converting?

A: Choose PNG or WEBP (lossless) as output format. JPG doesn't support transparency.
