Compare
These pages take a position. They are not keyword shells. Compatibility claims stay within what ConvertPass has actually tested or is willing to qualify.
JSON vs YAML
JSON is stricter and better on the wire. YAML is easier for humans to edit and easier to break. Choose based on who edits the file and whether comments matter.
CSV vs JSON
CSV is a table. JSON is a tree. Converting between them is honest only when you accept nested values as strings or keep the data flat.
PNG vs JPEG
PNG is lossless with alpha. JPEG is lossy and smaller for photographs. Screenshots and UI chrome belong in PNG; camera photos usually belong in JPEG, WebP, or AVIF.
WebP vs PNG
WebP can be lossless with alpha and is often smaller than PNG for the web. PNG remains the interchange format that every editor still handles without thinking.
AVIF vs WebP
AVIF often wins on compression. WebP wins on encode availability in the browser. ConvertPass exposes AVIF encode only after a capability check.
HEIC vs JPEG
HEIC is efficient on iPhones and awkward everywhere else. JPEG is the photo format that actually arrives intact in browsers and Windows tools.
MP4 vs WebM
MP4 with H.264 is the compatibility king. WebM with VP9/AV1 is the open-web alternative. Neither name is a codec; inspect the payload.
MOV vs MP4
MOV and MP4 are cousins. The difference that matters is the codec inside and whether you are delivering or editing.
H.264 vs H.265
H.265 (HEVC) is more efficient and less universally playable in browsers than H.264 (AVC). Hardware support varies by device and by licensing.
Image compression vs image resizing
Resizing changes pixel count. Compression changes how those pixels are stored. You usually need both for a web hero, in that order: resize, then compress.
EXIF metadata vs AI-generation metadata
EXIF is camera and phone metadata, including GPS. AI-generation metadata is usually PNG text chunks or parameters strings. They leak different secrets and they strip differently.
