What this helps with
Use this guide when you want to convert an image from one format to another.
Quick steps
- Right-click an image or upload a file into Snag.
- Choose the output format you want.
- Save the converted image.
Which format should I choose?
Use JPG for photos and smaller file sizes.
Use PNG for transparency, screenshots, UI graphics, and sharper edges.
Use WebP for modern web use and smaller files.
Use GIF when working with simple animated images.
Common issues
Why did transparency disappear?
JPG does not support transparency. Use PNG or WebP if you need a transparent background.
Why is the converted file larger?
Some formats are better for certain image types. PNG can be larger for photos, while JPG is usually smaller.
Can every image become a GIF?
Static images can be saved as GIF, but that does not make them animated. Animated GIF conversion depends on the source image and browser support.
