Image Converter – JPG, PNG, WebP, PDF, SVG and More

This image converter turns your pictures into nine formats from one page: JPG, PNG, WebP, PDF, GIF, SVG, ICO, TIFF and BMP. Tap the format you need under Convert to, and the full converter for that format opens right below it, with the settings that matter for that file type: quality and file size for JPG, transparency for PNG and WebP, page size for PDF, speed and loop for an animated GIF, icon sizes for ICO, and tracing detail for SVG.

You can add photos straight from a phone or camera, including iPhone HEIC photos, and also PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, BMP, TIFF and SVG files. The work is done by your browser on your own device, so for almost every job nothing is uploaded at all. The few exceptions are named clearly further down, and the tool tells you when one applies.

Every picture format either keeps every pixel exactly or saves space by dropping detail you are unlikely to notice. The first kind is called lossless, the second lossy. PNG, TIFF, BMP, GIF and lossless WebP are lossless. JPG and lossy WebP are lossy: they look at small blocks of the picture and keep the overall shape and colour while simplifying fine texture.

Lossy is not a bad word. For photos it is usually the right choice, because a photo at quality 85 to 92 looks the same to the eye and is often five to ten times smaller than the same photo as PNG. Where lossy files fall short is sharp edges and flat colour: text, lines and logos get faint smudges around them, sometimes called artefacts. That is why screenshots and graphics belong in PNG or lossless WebP.

One rule is worth remembering: converting a lossy file to a lossless format does not bring lost detail back. A JPG saved as PNG keeps exactly what the JPG had, just in a bigger file. The opposite also holds: saving a JPG again and again at low quality makes it a little worse each time, so convert from the best original you have, and do it once.

Transparency means some pixels are see-through, so the picture can sit on any background, like a logo on a coloured website header. PNG, WebP, GIF, ICO, SVG and 32-bit BMP can keep it; JPG cannot, and plain 24-bit BMP cannot either. PNG and WebP store soft, partly transparent edges, while GIF only knows fully see-through or fully solid, which gives hard edges around round shapes.

When a picture with transparency is turned into a format without it, something has to fill the gaps. The converters on this page let you choose: JPG has Background for transparent areas, and the GIF, BMP, TIFF and ICO converters each have a Background setting. White is the usual choice for documents and print, and black often suits dark themes and screens.

In the live preview of the JPG, PNG and WebP converter, a checked pattern shows the areas that will stay transparent, so you can see straight away whether the background really is see-through before you download anything.

Using an image converter online often means sending your photos to a stranger's server and waiting for them to come back. Here it works the other way round. The page loads once, and then your browser opens, converts and saves the pictures with your own processor and memory. JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, AVIF, GIF, BMP and SVG files never leave your device.

There are two clearly marked exceptions. Browsers cannot open TIFF and ICO files on their own, so when you convert one of those to JPG, PNG or WebP, it is opened by our image server, and the line under the button says so. In the PDF converter, the optional server extras, a searchable text layer (OCR) and a PDF password, send the finished PDF to our server only when you switch them on. Everything else stays local.

Because the work happens on your device, speed depends on it rather than on your connection. A recent phone converts a normal photo in about a second, and a computer handles big batches faster still. Once the page is open, a slow or patchy connection does not matter.

This image converter free of charge has no account, no email sign-up, no watermark and no daily count of files. You can convert one picture or several hundred, as often as you like. There is nothing to install either: it runs in any current browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iPhone and iPad.

It can stay free because your own device does the converting, so there is no server time to pay for and no queue to wait in. The limits that do exist are there to protect your device's memory: up to 500 pictures of up to 100 MB each for JPG, PNG and WebP, up to 300 for TIFF and BMP, 200 for an animated GIF, 100 for ICO and 50 for SVG tracing.

JPG is the most widely accepted picture format there is, which makes an image converter to jpg the right tool when a site, a form or an older program refuses your file. Pick JPG under Convert to, add your pictures and press Convert to JPG. HEIC, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, BMP, TIFF and SVG files all work as input.

The Quality slider runs from 30 to 100 and starts at 92. From 90 up the result looks identical to the original; from 75 to 89 it is very good with a smaller file; below 75 you start to see softening. If a site has an upload limit, set File size to Keep under a size and type the limit in KB: each picture then gets the highest quality that still fits.

JPG cannot store transparency. Under Background for transparent areas you choose what fills see-through parts of a PNG, WebP or SVG: White, Black or Other colour. A logo on a transparent background normally wants White. The Size card can keep the original size or scale by Longest side, Percentage or Exact size, and More options adds grayscale or black and white, a DPI value for print and the choice to remove or keep photo details such as date, camera and location.

PNG is lossless: every pixel is kept exactly, so text, lines and flat colours stay razor sharp, and transparent areas stay transparent. Use the image converter to png for screenshots, logos, diagrams, graphics you will edit again and any picture that needs a see-through background.

PNG has no quality slider, because it never throws detail away. Under More options, PNG file offers Lossless or Smaller file. Smaller file reduces the picture to between 8 and 256 colours, which often makes it 60 to 80% smaller; it suits logos, icons and simple graphics, but photos may show banding.

The Transparent background card can also make a background see-through while converting. Remove background clears the plain background around the subject and keeps the same colour inside it, while Remove a colour everywhere clears every pixel close to the chosen colour, including holes inside letters. Colour to remove can be Automatic, White or a colour you Pick, with a Tolerance slider. This works on flat, plain backgrounds; for a person or a busy scene, Remove Background is the better tool.

WebP gives the smallest files for websites while keeping transparency, so an image converter to webp is the quickest way to make pages load faster. All current browsers show WebP, and most website builders, shops and content systems accept it.

WebP type has three choices. Lossy, the default at quality 85, gives the smallest files, often 70 to 90% smaller than PNG while still keeping transparency. Lossless keeps exactly the same pixels as a PNG, usually 20 to 40% smaller. Near-lossless looks lossless but changes some invisible detail for a smaller file, with a level slider.

More options adds Compression effort from 0 to 6 (higher is slower but smaller), Transparency quality and Sharp colour edges (sharp YUV) for lossy files, and Keep colours under fully transparent pixels for lossless ones, which only game textures and some editors need. If a browser has no WebP encoder of its own, the tool uses Google libwebp instead and tells you; it is a little slower but gives the same kind of file.

You can add AVIF photos and turn them into JPG, PNG, WebP or PDF, but AVIF output is not offered. The reason is simple: browsers can open AVIF, but most cannot yet encode it reliably, and doing it in software would be very slow on phones. Rather than give you a button that fails or freezes, the converter sticks to formats it can make well.

For the same goal, small files with good quality for the web, choose WebP. It is supported by all current browsers, keeps transparency and is usually far smaller than JPG or PNG.

An image converter to pdf puts your pictures on pages in one document, which is what many forms, schools, offices and print shops ask for. Choose PDF, add the pictures, drag them into the right order and press Convert to PDF. JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, HEIC, TIFF, AVIF and SVG files all work, and you can add existing PDF pages too.

Page size can be Same as picture, A4 or Letter, with Legal, A3, A5 and Custom under More page sizes. Orientation is Auto, Portrait or Landscape, and Margin is None, Small or Large. Pictures per page can be 1, 2, 4, 6 or 9, and Picture fit chooses between Fit whole picture and Fill the space. Each picture can be rotated and cropped before it goes on its page.

Colour can stay as it is, or be set to Auto enhance, Grayscale or Black & white, which suits scanned paperwork. There are also page numbers, a watermark, a thin picture border, a file name, document info and a file size target. Output makes One PDF, or One PDF per picture (ZIP). For a full guide, see JPG to PDF.

iPhones and iPads save photos as HEIC by default. They look great, but many websites, Windows programs and older apps cannot open them. An image converter heic to jpg fixes that: add the HEIC photos, keep JPG selected and press Convert to JPG.

The photos are opened inside your browser, not on a server, and the result keeps the full resolution. Photos from an iPhone are turned the right way up, and the Photo details setting decides whether the date, camera and location are kept, kept without location, or removed for privacy, which is the default.

On an iPhone you can usually choose Photos or Files when you tap the button, and pick a whole album at once. If you would rather keep transparency or edit the photo later, choose PNG instead; for a single document from several photos, choose PDF. There is also a page just for HEIC to JPG.

SVG is different from the other formats, because it is not made of pixels. An image converter to svg here traces your picture into real vector paths, the shapes and curves a drawing program or a cutting machine can work with. The result stays sharp at any size, from a sticker to a banner.

Colours can be Colour, with 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 or 64 colours, or Black & white, with a threshold slider. Detail is Simple, Balanced or Fine detail. Corners and curves is Balanced, Sharp corners or Smooth curves, and Noise cleanup is Off, Light or Strong. Background can be kept or removed to leave it transparent, and Shapes can be Filled or Outlines only. You can download the file or copy the SVG code.

Tracing works best on logos, icons, line art, clip art and text with clear edges and few colours. Photos turn into many small patches and large files, so for a photo keep JPG or PNG. If your picture is a PNG logo, PNG to SVG has its own page with the same tracer.

Cutting machines such as Cricut, Silhouette and laser cutters follow lines, so they work best with vector files. An image converter for cricut projects turns a picture into an SVG with clean paths: choose SVG under Convert to, add the picture and press the button.

For a single-colour cut such as vinyl, a stencil or a card, set Colours to Black & white and move the threshold until the shape is solid. Choose Remove (transparent) under Background so only the design is left, and try Outlines only if you want cut lines rather than filled shapes. For a layered design, choose Colour with a small number of colours, such as 4 or 8, so each colour becomes its own layer.

Start from a clear picture with strong contrast and no fine texture, and use Noise cleanup to drop specks that would turn into tiny cuts. Upload the SVG to your machine's design software as you would any other cut file, and check the cut lines there before cutting. Many design programs also accept PNG with a transparent background as a printable image, which the PNG option makes.

ICO is the icon format of Windows and the classic favicon format for websites. One .ico file holds the same picture at several sizes, and Windows or the browser picks the best one for each place. The image converter to ico makes real multi-size icons in your browser from JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF or BMP pictures.

Icon sizes can be Favicon (16 to 48 pixels), Windows icon (16 to 256), All sizes or Custom. Fit to square chooses Fit (whole picture), Crop to fill or Stretch, and Background can be Transparent, White or a colour. Shape can be Square, Rounded or Circle, and Padding adds space around the picture.

Icon format offers Modern (PNG inside) for small files read by Windows Vista and later, every browser and macOS; Windows / EXE, with the 256 size as PNG and smaller sizes as BMP, the layout Microsoft recommends for programs; Classic (32-bit BMP); and 256 colours (8-bit) for very old software. Simple, bold pictures make the clearest icons, because 16 pixels leaves little room for detail.

Choose GIF to make an animated GIF from several pictures, or a still GIF from one. Add the pictures in the order they should play; the first one also sets the shape unless you choose Square 1:1, 16:9 or 9:16. Pictures of other shapes can be cropped to fill or fitted whole on a background colour.

Speed is the time each picture shows: 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1 or 2 seconds, or Custom. Width can be Original, 640, 480, 320 or 240 pixels, or Custom. Loop plays Forever, once, or a set number of times. Effects add a cross-fade between pictures or a boomerang that plays forward and back, and Colours sets 256 down to 16 colours per frame, with dithering for smooth photos.

The File size limit can be 1 MB, 100 KB, 50 KB or Custom: the tool then uses fewer colours first and smaller frames next until the GIF fits. GIF transparency is either on or off for each pixel, so soft edges become hard ones. For video clips, Video to GIF is the better starting point.

TIFF is the lossless choice for print shops, scanners and archives. Output can be One TIFF per picture or All in one multi-page TIFF, in the order of your list. Compression offers LZW, which is lossless and opened by every program; ZIP, usually the smallest; PackBits, simple and good for line art; and None for old machines and some print systems. DPI can be kept or set to 72, 150, 300, 600 or Custom, and Colour can be Colour, Grayscale or Black & white.

BMP is for old software and devices that only read plain bitmaps. Colour depth can be 24-bit, 32-bit + transparency, 8-bit with 256 colours, 8-bit grey, 4-bit with 16 colours, or 1-bit monochrome, the smallest BMP, used by thermal printers, e-paper and some laser and embroidery machines. Size can stay Original, keep under a File size limit, be set as Width × height, or fit an E-reader at 600 × 800. DPI 72, 96, 150 or 300 is stored in the file for printing.

The JPG, PNG and WebP converter shows a live before-and-after preview of the picture you click, so you can check the look before you convert the whole batch. Drag the divider, or use the arrow keys; the checked pattern shows areas that will be transparent.

Every option you change is remembered in your browser, so the converter opens the way you left it. Reset these options takes you back to the defaults. After converting, you can save one file, use Download all (ZIP) for a batch, and in the JPG, PNG and WebP converter copy a single result straight to the clipboard to paste it into a chat or document.

If a picture is very large for the device's memory, the tool says so and suggests a smaller size rather than crashing. A computer handles very large photos and big batches more comfortably than a phone.

Photos from phones and cameras carry hidden details: the date and time, the camera or phone model and often the exact location where the photo was taken. When you share a converted photo, those details can travel with it. In the JPG and PNG converters, Photo details lets you choose what happens to them.

Remove, the default, drops the date, camera and location for privacy. Keep, without location keeps the date and camera, which is handy for sorting photos, but removes the place. Keep all copies everything across. For photos you post publicly or send to strangers, Remove is the safe choice. To clean photos without converting them at all, there is a separate Remove Metadata tool.

You can open this page with a format already picked by adding to= to the address, for example /convert-image?to=png or /convert-image?to=webp. The values are jpg, png, webp, pdf, gif, svg, ico, tiff and bmp. That is handy for a bookmark, a link in a team guide or a shortcut on your phone. Without it, the page opens on the format you used last.

This page covers every format in one place. If you always do the same job, a page made for just that job can be quicker to reach and explains it in more detail: HEIC to JPG for iPhone photos, PNG to JPG for smaller files, JPG to PNG for lossless copies, WebP to JPG for pictures saved from websites, PNG to SVG for tracing logos and JPG to PDF for documents.

Two other tools pair well with converting. Compress Image makes JPG, PNG and WebP files smaller without changing their format, and Resize Image sets an exact size in pixels, by percentage or for print, with presets for social media.

On iPhone and iPad, open the page in Safari or another browser, tap the button and choose Photos or Files. Converted files go to Downloads in the Files app, and Save Image or Share moves a picture into Photos. On Android, pick from the gallery or the file manager; results land in the Downloads folder.

On Windows, Mac and Linux, any current browser works. Drag files or a whole selection from a folder onto the box, and open the ZIP with the tools built into the system. In the JPG, PNG and WebP converter, Ctrl+Enter starts converting from the keyboard.

Start from the best original you have. Convert the photo straight from the phone or camera rather than a copy that was already shrunk by a chat app or email, because detail lost earlier cannot be restored.

Match the format to the job, not to habit: JPG or WebP for photos, PNG for graphics and screenshots, PDF for documents, SVG for cutting and ICO for icons. If a site gives you a file size limit, set it in the converter rather than lowering the quality by guesswork.

Check one picture in the preview before converting a big batch, because the same settings are used for every file. Then convert the whole batch in one go and save it as a ZIP. In the JPG, PNG and WebP converter, the files keep their original names with the new extension, so they are easy to match up.

Your pictures are read, converted and saved by your browser on your own device, and for JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, AVIF, GIF, BMP and SVG files nothing is sent anywhere. The only uploads are the ones named on this page: TIFF and ICO files opened by our image server, and the optional OCR and password extras for PDF. Those files are used only for that step. Your settings are kept in your browser's own storage, which you can clear at any time.

Each picture is opened by the browser, iPhone HEIC photos with a decoder that runs in your browser, and drawn onto a canvas at full size. Photos are turned the right way up, resized if you asked for it and then written in the format you picked: JPG and PNG with the browser's own encoders, WebP with the browser or libwebp, and GIF, TIFF, BMP, ICO and PDF with writers that run in the page and build the file byte by byte. SVG output comes from a tracer that groups colours and follows their edges as curves.
