One output format for a mixed set
Unlike the format-specific batch tools, this one accepts JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, BMP, GIF and SVG together and writes every one of them out as JPG. It is the quickest way to standardise a folder that grew organically.
Why standardise a format?
- Build pipelines and CMS uploads behave more predictably with one format.
- A single format makes it easy to reason about quality and file size across a project.
- JPG in particular: universally supported and compact for photographs.
What to watch for
JPG has no transparency, so transparent pixels are drawn onto a white background. Very large batches are processed one file at a time, so allow some time for big jobs.
