How to use Convert JPEG to ARGB
- 1. Add the JPEG to dump. Drop in the photo whose pixel data you need in ARGB order, the channel arrangement several graphics APIs and platforms expect instead of RGBA.
- 2. Set the value formatting. Type a Value separator to place between the alpha, red, green and blue numbers, and toggle One pixel per line to control how the pixels are laid out in the output.
- 3. Copy the ARGB values. The tool outputs alpha first, then red, green and blue, for every pixel in order. Copy the result into code or a system that specifically expects the ARGB byte order.
When to use Convert JPEG to ARGB
Convert JPEG to ARGB dumps every pixel's alpha, red, green and blue values in that specific order, matching the byte layout some platforms and graphics frameworks use instead of RGBA. It removes the manual reordering step when your target system expects alpha first.
- Matching a platform that stores pixels as ARGB. You are working with a graphics framework or native platform API that stores colors as alpha-red-green-blue rather than red-green-blue-alpha. Dumping the JPEG in that exact order saves a manual reordering step.
- Debugging a color format mismatch. An image you rendered looks visually wrong, and you suspect a byte order issue between ARGB and RGBA. Extracting the raw ARGB values lets you compare against what your rendering code expects.
- Preparing test data for a Windows or Android graphics API. Several platform-native graphics APIs represent pixels in ARGB order by convention. Extracting sample data in that exact format gives you realistic input for testing platform-specific code.
- Studying how a specific bitmap format lays out bytes. You are reverse engineering or documenting a file format that uses ARGB pixel ordering. Dumping a known photo in that format gives you a reference to compare against raw bytes.

About the Convert JPEG to ARGB tool
Convert JPEG to ARGB does its work locally, right in the browser. Dump the raw ARGB pixel array of a JPEG. There is no upload step, no queue and no account, and your data never travels over the network.
It belongs to the JPG Tools collection on EditSafely, a set of 145 small, focused JPG utilities that share the same instant, private workspace.
You can shape the output with 2 settings, including Value separator and One pixel per line, and the result refreshes the moment you change one. A worked example further down the page shows exactly what the tool produces for a real input.
Running locally also makes the tool fast and dependable: results appear as you type or drop a file, there is no server outage that can take it down mid-task, and confidential data can be processed without a second thought.
