Q: What is the difference between a raster and vector image?

A: Raster images are made up of pixels (like JPG or PNG), and they lose quality when resized. Vector images, on the other hand, are made with paths and can be scaled without losing quality (like SVG or EPS). Knowing which type you need helps you choose the right format for your project.

Q: How do I know if my image format is supported?

A: You can always check the supported formats list on our website or within the conversion tool itself. RunConvert supports most common image formats like JPEG, PNG, TIFF, WebP, BMP, GIF, and more, so it’s very likely your format is supported.

Q: Can I convert an image to a format that’s optimized for printing?

A: Yes, you can convert images to printing-optimized formats like TIFF or high-resolution PNG. These formats retain the quality needed for print materials, making them ideal for posters, brochures, and other printed items.

Q: How do I convert an image to a favicon?

A: To convert an image into a favicon, just upload your image (usually a square shape) and select ICO or PNG as the output format. Make sure to resize the image to 16x16px or 32x32px for best results.

Q: What’s the best format for printing images?

A: For print-quality images, we recommend TIFF or PNG as they retain the best resolution and color depth. Avoid JPEG for print if possible, as it’s a lossy format and may degrade quality when printed at large sizes.
