Image Convert Tool: Format Freedom on Your Droplet
Different channels demand different formats—PNG for crisp UI, JPG for email, WEBP for blazing-fast landing pages. The Image Convert tool moves assets between formats without routing through mystery clouds. Just upload, choose the target format, and grab the converted file seconds later.
Key benefits
- One-click format switching for JPG ↔ PNG ↔ WEBP.
- Color-aware pipeline ensures originals convert to RGB/RGBA correctly, avoiding washed-out colors.
- Instant downloads via StreamingResponse, meaning no waiting for background jobs.
- Private by design: conversions happen inside your container and auto-delete afterward.
Workflow
- Head to
/tool/image-convert. - Upload the source file (supports up to 30 MB).
- Pick the output format from the dropdown.
- Optionally batch with Resize or Compress for a full pipeline.
- Click Convert image and download the optimized asset.
Optimization tips
- Convert brand icons to PNG if you need transparent backgrounds.
- Switch marketing assets to WEBP for modern browsers; keep JPG for email fallbacks.
- Combine with Image Resize to hit exact hero dimensions across channels.
- Store a naming convention (e.g.,
hero-homepage-webp) so teammates know which version to deploy.
