Image Converter

Convert between JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC and SVG

Drop in almost any image and pick what you want out of it. The conversion runs inside your browser, so your files are never uploaded, never stored on someone else’s server, and never held behind a queue or a signup form.

You can mix formats in one batch. Drop a folder holding iPhone HEIC photos, a few screenshots, and an exported logo, and they will all come out in whichever format you chose.

Which format do you actually need?

Most people arrive here because something refused to open a file. The format you need is usually decided by where the image is going, not by the image itself.

• Going on a website — WebP. Smallest files, supported everywhere, keeps transparency.
• Going to a person, a printer, or an upload form — JPG. It has the widest compatibility of any image format in existence.
• A logo, an icon, or anything with a transparent background — PNG, unless the destination accepts WebP.
• Something you will edit again later — PNG. Every save of a JPG or WebP throws away a little more detail.

What each format is good at

JPG is the oldest of the four and still the safest. It compresses photographs well and opens on anything. Its weaknesses are transparency, which it does not support at all, and text or sharp edges, which it blurs.

PNG is lossless, so it reproduces every pixel exactly. That makes it right for logos, screenshots of text, and diagrams — and wasteful for photographs, where it can produce files ten times larger than necessary.

WebP is the modern compromise. It does lossy compression better than JPG, lossless better than PNG, and supports transparency in both modes. Every current browser displays it. Some desktop software still does not open it, which is the only real argument against using it.

HEIC is what iPhones record by default. It is efficient but poorly supported outside Apple devices, which is why converting it to JPG is one of the most common image tasks there is.

SVG is not really a picture — it is a set of drawing instructions. That means it scales to any size without ever going blurry, which is perfect for logos and icons. Converting it to PNG or JPG locks it to one fixed size, so only do that when something refuses to accept the SVG.

Things that surprise people

Converting to PNG often makes the file bigger. PNG is lossless, so turning a compressed photo into PNG stores every pixel of an image that had already thrown detail away. You get a larger file with no extra quality.

Converting to JPG removes transparency. There is no way around it — JPG has no transparency channel. Transparent areas are filled with white, and the tool warns you before it happens.

Converting does not restore quality. If detail was lost when the file was first compressed, no format can bring it back. Converting a low-quality JPG to PNG gives you a large file that still looks the same.

Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded?

No. Everything happens in your browser. Nothing is transmitted, which also means the tool keeps working on a slow or unreliable connection.

How many files can I convert at once?

Up to 20 per batch, 40 MB each. Use Download ZIP to save the results as a single file.

Why do HEIC files show no preview?

Browsers cannot display HEIC directly. The thumbnail appears once the file has been converted.

Is there a watermark or a file limit?

Neither. There is no watermark, no account, and no paid tier.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. On iPhone and Android you can convert straight from your camera roll, and downloads land in your Files or Downloads folder.
