The Convert Image Format function in cPanel allows you to change the format of an image to another file type, such as changing a .jpg to a .bmp. cPanel includes an application for converting image file formats. Once you have uploaded the image to your website, it can be selected and converted through cPanel’s format converter. Any of the supported file types can be converted from one type to another using this application. Once the conversion is complete, the new file is placed in the same directory as the original file by default.

Note that this feature will convert all of the images in a directory, a single image cannot be converted.
