A: Since JPGs don’t support transparency, the transparent parts of a PNG will turn white or black in the converted image. If you need transparency, consider staying with PNG or switching to formats like WebP.

Q: Do I need to sign up to use RunConvert?

A: No, signing up is not required! RunConvert is designed for ease of use. You can convert images without creating an account, but signing up gives you access to features like conversion history and faster processing.

Q: Can I use RunConvert for professional image editing?

A: RunConvert focuses on fast, reliable format conversions, not professional image editing. If you need more detailed edits like color correction or background removal, you might want to use specialized image editing software.

Q: What’s the best way to maintain image quality during conversion?

A: To preserve image quality, select a lossless format like PNG or TIFF for conversions. Avoid formats that compress images too much, like JPEG, if high quality is your priority.

Q: Can I convert a photo to black and white?

A: You can definitely convert a photo to black and white, although this feature isn’t built into the conversion process itself. Consider using image editing software to adjust the colors before uploading for conversion. Many apps also have filters that can turn your image black and white!

Q: How do I convert an image to a web-friendly format?

Q: Is there a limit on the size of the image I can upload?

A: For free users, we set a limit on file size, but it's pretty generous. If you need to upload a large file or a bulk of images, consider upgrading to one of our premium plans for more flexibility.

Q: Why do some conversions result in a larger file size?

A: Sometimes, converting to a higher-quality format, like PNG or TIFF, results in larger file sizes because those formats don’t compress the image as much as JPG does. It’s all about balancing quality and size.

Q: How long will it take to convert my images?

A: Typically, image conversion is super fast! It can take anywhere from a few seconds to a couple of minutes depending on the size and complexity of the image. Larger or more intricate files may take longer, but you’ll always be notified about the status.
