Image Tools Comparison
A complete guide to image conversion and optimization tools on ConvertCraft—what to use, when, and how to get the best results.
Overview
Image workflows are about balancing quality, file size, and compatibility. For photos, JPEG/WebP are often best; for graphics and transparency, PNG is common; for modern web delivery, WebP/AVIF can reduce size dramatically. ConvertCraft provides format converters and practical editors so you can prepare assets for websites, documents, and sharing.
If you are unsure, convert one image to a common format first (PNG for graphics, JPG for photos), then explore size reductions. Always check the final image on the device and app where it will be used.
Compression vs quality tradeoffs
- Lossless compression (PNG optimization) preserves quality but has limited size gains.
- Lossy compression (JPEG/WebP/AVIF) can cut size significantly; test a few levels to avoid artifacts.
- Resizing (reducing dimensions) often saves more space than aggressive compression.
- Batch workflows should standardize settings so images look consistent.
Best practices
- Use a consistent max dimension for web images to avoid layout shifts and oversized downloads.
- Keep a master copy (original or lossless) and export optimized versions for use.
- Prefer WebP/AVIF for modern websites when your platform supports it; otherwise JPG/PNG are safe.
- For AI-based image tools, compare before/after carefully on faces and fine textures.

Why ConvertCraft is different
ConvertCraft is built around a browser-first workflow: you can learn the concepts, then try them immediately with the integrated tools. Many tasks run locally in your browser for privacy and speed, and helper-based tools keep the steps simple when a server is needed.
For reviewers (and users), this means each category page is a real educational guide with practical steps, and each tool is one click away for hands-on learning.
