Top 5 Tips to Get the Best Results with Peony Photo Converter
1. Choose the right output format
- JPEG: Use for photographs when you need smaller files; set quality 80–90% to balance size and detail.
- PNG: Use for images requiring transparency or sharp text/graphics.
- WebP/HEIF: Choose for best compression-to-quality ratio when supported.
2. Use batch mode with consistent settings
- Batch convert images that share the same target format and size to maintain uniform quality and save time.
- Apply identical quality/compression settings across the batch to avoid inconsistent visual results.
3. Resize and crop before converting
- Resize to the largest dimensions you actually need (e.g., 1920px for full-width web images) to avoid unnecessary file size.
- Crop to remove irrelevant areas so compression focuses on the important content.
4. Apply mild sharpening and color correction after resizing
- Sharpen slightly (unsharp mask or equivalent) post-resize to restore perceived detail lost in downsizing.
- Adjust white balance and exposure to ensure consistent color across converted images.
5. Test settings on samples and automate presets
- Run quick A/B tests on 3–5 representative images to compare quality vs. file size.
- Save presets for common workflows (web, print, archive) so you can reproduce optimal results quickly.
Bonus tip: Keep originals in a lossless format (TIFF or PNG) as your master files so you can reconvert later without quality loss.
