Image Conversion

Supported Output Formats

Actual encoding support depends on the browser.

Basic Conversion

The Convert tab provides a simple workflow.

How to Use

1. Open Convert.
2. Upload an image.
3. Choose the target output format.
4. Click Convert & Download.
5. Save the generated file.

The original image dimensions are used for the output canvas.

Output Quality

The basic converter uses fixed quality arguments for lossy output:

Quality values are requested from the browser encoder and do not guarantee a particular file size.

Convert Images — Advanced Quality Control

The Convert Images tab provides a separate quality slider.

How to Use

1. Open Convert Images.
2. Upload the desired image.
3. Select PNG, JPG, WebP, or SVG.
4. If using JPG or WebP, adjust Quality.
5. Click Convert & Download.

Quality Settings

The Quality slider appears for JPEG and WebP output.

For PNG and SVG output, the slider is hidden because the implementation does not use this setting.

PNG

PNG supports transparency and lossless encoding.

It is useful for:

• Logos
• Screenshots
• Interface graphics
• Illustrations with hard edges
• Images requiring transparency

JPEG

JPEG is typically suitable for photographic images.

Higher quality settings generally preserve more image detail but can produce larger files.

JPEG does not preserve transparency.

Transparent pixels may appear against an opaque background when converted to JPEG.

WebP

WebP is useful for web publishing.

Depending on encoder support and settings, it can provide efficient compression.

Creativity Land passes the selected quality value to the browser's WebP encoder.

SVG Export

Creativity Land offers an option called:

SVG (raster-wrapped)

This is not true raster-to-vector conversion.

The generated SVG contains an embedded PNG representation of the image.

Conceptual Example

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
     width="800"
     height="600">
  <image href="data:image/png;base64,..."
         width="800"
         height="600"/>
</svg>

Important Distinction

A raster-wrapped SVG does not convert photograph pixels into editable vector paths.

Scaling it beyond the original raster resolution does not provide the infinite resolution associated with genuine vector artwork.

Output Filenames

Generated files use names such as:

converted.png
converted.jpg
converted.webp
converted.svg

Limitations

GIF Encoding

The supplied converter does not provide animated GIF encoding.

Converting a GIF through a normal image-and-canvas workflow generally processes a single rendered frame rather than preserving an animation.

Browser Support

If a browser lacks support for an output format, the result may differ from the requested format.

Image Metadata

Canvas-based re-encoding does not guarantee preservation of original EXIF data, ICC profiles, or other file metadata.

Resolution

The converters normally use the source image's natural width and height.

Recommended Workflow

For photographs, try JPEG or WebP.

For images requiring transparency, use PNG.

For web page graphics, consider WebP where supported.

Use raster-wrapped SVG only when an SVG container is specifically needed.

Important: Selecting SVG does not automatically transform a raster image into vector artwork.
