Batch Converting a Folder of Images to WebP for a Site Migration
Moving a website to a new platform is a natural point to also fix years of accumulated JPG and PNG bloat. Here is a practical approach to converting a whole image library at once.
Converting between JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF and SVG - which format to pick and how to keep transparency and quality.
Moving a website to a new platform is a natural point to also fix years of accumulated JPG and PNG bloat. Here is a practical approach to converting a whole image library at once.
A single logo often needs to exist as an SVG, a PNG, a JPG and a favicon-sized icon, all at once. Here is a complete, one-stop path through every conversion.
WebP wins on nearly every technical measure for animation, but GIF still has one advantage that keeps it relevant. Here is how to decide between them.
Both formats handle a transparent background well, but they are not interchangeable in practice. Here is how to decide between them for a specific image.
Starting from a clean SVG gives GIF conversion its best possible chance — flat colours trace and convert far more cleanly than a photo ever could.
An old animated icon’s GIF is not a great source for a modern, scalable version, but one clean frame traced into SVG can rescue a usable static icon from it.
Animated WebP is smaller and better quality, but not every platform accepts it yet. Here is how to fall back to GIF cleanly when it is genuinely required.
When you need a still image from a GIF and file size matters more than perfect crispness, JPG usually beats PNG for the job. Here is when to reach for each.
Lost the original vector file for a simple logo or icon and only have a WebP? Tracing it back to SVG can recover an editable version.
