About the PNG format

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) uses lossless compression and supports full alpha transparency. Created as a better replacement for GIF, it is now the standard for web graphics, screenshots, logos and anything that needs a transparent background.

For photos, an optimized JPG is much smaller. For the web, PNG to WebP keeps the transparency at a fraction of the size.

Frequently Asked Questions

PNG is ideal for graphics with transparency (logos, icons), screenshots, text-heavy images and anything where every pixel must stay sharp. For photos without transparency, JPG or WebP give much smaller files.

Use PNG for graphics, logos, screenshots and anything that needs transparency. Use JPG for photos, where a small file matters more than perfect edges.

The JPG converters and WebP converters cover both directions.

Compress PNG can cut file size by up to 80% while keeping transparency. For simple graphics, PNG to 8-bit reduces the palette.

Converting to WebP shrinks it further, or to JPG if you do not need transparency.

Upload the image to the PNG Background Remover. It removes the background and saves a transparent PNG you can use on any colour.

The PNG to ICO converter makes a multi-size Windows icon. For websites, PNG to Favicon or the Favicon Generator create every size browsers and phones ask for.

Usually yes - WebP keeps transparency and is often 25-35% smaller. PNG still opens everywhere, so it makes a good fallback inside a picture element.

Animated PNG (APNG) exists, but support in apps is patchy. APNG to GIF converts it to a GIF, and the GIF Maker builds animations from a set of PNGs.

Many PNG tools, such as PNG to JPG, work entirely in your browser, so the image never leaves your device. Tools that need our server delete uploads automatically after a few hours.
