About the Tool
This browser-based image converter enables users to transform image files into multiple widely used formats without relying on external servers. All processing occurs locally within the user's device using modern browser capabilities, ensuring high performance, privacy, and reliability. The tool supports standard formats including PNG, JPG, WEBP, BMP, and GIF.
Why It Matters
Digital workflows frequently require image format conversion for compatibility, optimization, or platform requirements. Traditional converters often require uploads to third-party servers, creating privacy concerns and latency. Local processing eliminates these risks while improving speed and reducing dependency on infrastructure.
How It Works
The tool uses HTML5 canvas rendering. When an image is loaded, it is drawn into an offscreen canvas. The canvas then exports a new encoded version using the selected format and compression settings.
