About this tool
Images saved from websites increasingly come down as WebP, which older versions of Photoshop, Windows Photo Viewer, and many upload forms reject. Converting to PNG keeps every pixel (including transparency) and opens anywhere.
About the formats: WebP is Google's modern web image format. It supports both lossy and lossless compression plus transparency, and typically comes out 25-35% smaller than an equivalent JPG or PNG. Every current browser displays it, but some older desktop apps and upload forms still reject it. PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless image format with full transparency support. It is the standard choice for screenshots, logos, icons, and anything with sharp edges or text, but it produces much larger files than JPG or WebP for photographs.
