About these formats

JPG is the most common file extension for images compressed with the JPEG standard, published in 1992. It applies lossy compression based on the discrete cosine transform, splitting images into small blocks and discarding visually insignificant detail to shrink file size. The compression level is adjustable: higher quality keeps more detail at a larger size, while lower quality trades visible artifacts for a much smaller file. JPG supports 24-bit true color and embeds Exif metadata such as camera model and capture date. Its biggest strength is universal compatibility — it is the native output of virtually every camera and phone, and opens in every browser, viewer, and operating system without exception.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which icon size should I choose for my website favicon?

The standard **32x32 pixels** size works universally across almost all modern web browsers for standard tabs.

What does the 'Force square canvas' option do?

If your source image is rectangular (e.g., a wide logo), this option adds transparent padding around it to prevent distortion inside the square ICO file.

Are my photos uploaded to an external server?

No, all conversion logic is executed locally within your browser using JavaScript for complete privacy.
