What's the difference between SVG and JPEG XL?

SVG is a vector format described in XML — paths, shapes, gradients, and text rather than pixels. JPEG XL is a modern, royalty-free image format with state-of-the-art compression.

What quality should I pick?

For JPEG XL, quality 75-85 is the sweet spot — small files with no visible difference from the original. Lower than 60 starts to show artifacts. Higher than 90 mostly just makes the file bigger.

Does this work on mobile?

Yes. The drop zone falls back to your phone's file picker, and conversions run on-device just like desktop. Large files may be slower on mobile due to CPU and memory constraints, but the workflow is identical.

What's the maximum file size?

No hard limit — the browser handles it. Files under 50MB convert in a few seconds. Larger files work but may take longer as the browser allocates memory. If you hit issues, batch in smaller groups.
