Convert images online — JPG, PNG, and WebP, no upload
Formats are a compatibility problem, not a quality problem. A screenshot saved as JPG picks up artifacts around text. A photo saved as PNG is needlessly large. A WebP downloaded from a website will not open in an older editor. Pick the output that fits the destination, and Cutmoor encodes it locally.
From file to download, with no upload bar
- 01Add an image
Drop a JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, BMP, SVG, HEIC, or HEIF file. The source format and dimensions are detected locally.
- 02Choose the output
Pick JPG for compatibility, PNG for lossless graphics and transparency, or WebP for a smaller web file.
- 03Set quality and transparency
JPG and WebP use the quality slider. When a transparent image is exported to JPG, choose the colour that fills the empty pixels.
- 04Convert and download
The browser re-encodes the image and saves it to your device. Metadata such as GPS coordinates is not copied.
Convert image: common questions
Which format should I choose?
JPG for photographs and anything that must open everywhere. PNG for screenshots, logos, diagrams, and images with transparency. WebP for websites when you control the audience and want a smaller file. There is no single best format; it depends on the content and where it is going.
Does converting PNG to JPG lose quality?
Yes, slightly, because JPG is lossy and PNG is not. At 90 percent quality the difference is hard to see in a photo, but sharp text and flat graphics can show ringing. Keep the PNG original if you may need to edit it again, and convert a copy for sharing.
Can I convert WebP to JPG?
Yes. Cutmoor decodes WebP with the browser and exports JPG or PNG. This is useful when an older editor, a print shop, or an upload form rejects WebP. Converting to JPG flattens transparency, so choose a background colour first.
Does the converted file keep EXIF and GPS data?
No. The image is drawn to a canvas and re-encoded, so EXIF, GPS, camera model, and most other metadata are not carried over. Orientation is applied to the pixels before export, so the image still appears upright. This is usually good for privacy, but it also removes copyright and colour-profile metadata.
Why can't I choose WebP in Safari?
Safari can display WebP but cannot encode it from a canvas; it silently returns a PNG instead. Cutmoor probes the browser at runtime and disables WebP export when the encoder is missing, so you never download a file with the wrong extension. Use JPG or PNG in Safari, or convert in Chrome, Edge, or Firefox.
