Supported formats

You can drop: JPG, JPEG and JFIF, PNG, WebP, HEIC and HEIF (iPhone photos), AVIF, GIF (the first frame), BMP, TIFF and TIF, and SVG.

You can save as:

OutputWhat you get
JPGUniversal photo format, adjustable quality
PNGLossless, keeps transparency
WebPSmall web format, adjustable quality, keeps transparency
ICOIcon file with several sizes inside
GIFSingle still frame, 256 colors

AVIF support depends on your browser; current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari can open it. HEIC and TIFF are decoded by the tool itself, so they work even in browsers that cannot display them natively.

The conversion runs in your browser, so your files stay on your device.

AVIF and better encoders

Output can be JPG, PNG, WebP or AVIF. JPG is encoded with MozJPEG, which typically gives a 10–15% smaller file than the browser's own JPG at the same quality, and PNG is optimized with OxiPNG. AVIF is the smallest but the slowest: 5–20 seconds per large photo.

Encoding runs on a separate thread so the page stays usable, and WebP works in Safari too. Convert up to 25 images at once, and paste screenshots with Ctrl+V. The "Next step" cards carry the finished file straight into another tool, such as compressing or resizing.

Which output format should you pick?

  • JPG for photos you want to share, email or upload anywhere. Every device and program opens it. It has no transparency, so transparent areas become white.
  • PNG for screenshots, logos, diagrams and anything with sharp edges or text, or when you need transparency. Files are larger for photos.
  • WebP for websites. It supports transparency and is typically much smaller than JPG or PNG at the same quality.
  • ICO for website favicons and Windows icons. Choose the sizes to include, for example 16, 32, 48 and 256 px.
  • GIF only when a system specifically asks for GIF. The output is a single still frame with a 256-color palette; use the GIF maker for animations.

Quality and file size

Format choice affects size more than any setting. As a rough guide, the same 12-megapixel photo might be 3–5 MB as a high-quality JPG, 2–3 MB as WebP and 15 MB or more as PNG. Exact numbers depend on the picture.

For JPG and WebP you can set the quality from 30% to 100%. The default of 90% keeps the image visually identical to the source for nearly all photos. Lower values shrink the file further:

  • 90%: best for archiving and printing.
  • 75–80%: good balance for web and email.
  • 60% and lower: noticeably smaller, with some visible loss in fine detail.

PNG is lossless, so its file size depends on the picture content rather than a quality setting. To shrink files further, use the image compressor, which can also aim for a specific size in KB.

Tips for clean conversions

  • Converting to JPG fills transparency with white. Logos with transparent backgrounds should go to PNG or WebP instead.

  • Converting JPG to PNG will not improve quality. It only makes the file bigger. Do it when a program requires PNG or when you plan to edit and save the image many times.

  • Animated files become still images. Animated GIF, WebP and AVIF files are converted from their first frame.

  • Keep your originals. Converting a lossy image to another lossy format loses a little detail each time.

  • Mind the file name. The converted file keeps its original name with the new extension, so "IMG_1024.HEIC" becomes "IMG_1024.jpg". With several files you get one ZIP containing all of them.

If you only need one specific conversion, the dedicated pages such as HEIC to JPG, WebP to JPG or PNG to ICO open with the right settings already selected.

Frequently asked questions

Is this image converter free?

Yes. You can convert images for free without creating an account.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. Images are decoded and converted in your browser, so they never leave your device.

Can I convert HEIC photos from my iPhone?

Yes. Drop the HEIC files and choose JPG or PNG; the tool decodes them in the browser.

Why does my transparent PNG have a white background as JPG?

JPG cannot store transparency, so transparent pixels are filled with white. Choose PNG or WebP to keep the transparency.

Can I convert animated GIFs?

The converter saves the first frame. To make or edit animations, use the GIF maker or the GIF compressor.
