Need help?How to Convert Images Online
- Upload Your Images: Click "+ Add Files" or drag and drop. The converter accepts 35+ inputs including JPG, JPEG, JFIF, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC, HEIF, TIFF, BMP, GIF, ICO, SVG, PSD, EPS, PPM, XCF, and RAW formats from Canon (CR2/CR3/CRW), Nikon (NEF), Sony (ARW), Adobe (DNG), Fujifilm (RAF), Olympus (ORF), Panasonic (RW2), Pentax (PEF), and Sigma (X3F). Batch conversion supported.
- Pick Image File Extension: Choose the target format from the dropdown — JPG and PNG for universal compatibility, WebP or AVIF for the web, HEIC for Apple devices, TIFF or PSD for print and editing, SVG for vector output, ICO for favicons.
- Set Quality Preset and Resolution (Optional): "Very High (Recommended)" preserves the most detail; lower presets shrink file size for web use. Under "Image resolution," keep the original, pick a Preset Resolution, scale by Resolution Percentage, or enter custom Width x Height (aspect ratio locked by default).
- Convert and Download: Click Convert. Files process in your browser session — no sign-up, no watermark, no upload to a third-party cloud. Download individually or grab a ZIP of the whole batch.
Why Use a Universal Image Converter?
Every photo format solves a different problem. iPhones write HEIC by default since iOS 11, but Windows still asks for a codec to open them. WebP and AVIF shave 25-50% off web page weight but a client may still demand JPG for print. Photographers shoot RAW (CR3, NEF, ARW, DNG) for latitude in post but need JPG or TIFF to share with clients. A single converter that handles all of these saves the round-trip through Photoshop, Preview, or command-line tools like ImageMagick.
- iPhone HEIC to JPG or PNG — HEIC has roughly 12% global browser support (Safari only); Chrome, Firefox, and Edge don't decode it natively. Convert before emailing to Windows recipients or uploading to older CMS platforms.
- Web optimization with WebP or AVIF — WebP has 95%+ global browser support (Chrome since v32 in 2014, Firefox 65, Edge 18, Safari 16.0 in Sept 2022). AVIF reaches 94%+ (Chrome 85, Firefox 93, Safari 16.4, Edge 121). Both typically cut JPEG/PNG payload by 25-50% at equivalent visual quality.
- RAW camera files to deliverables — Canon CR2/CR3, Nikon NEF, Sony ARW, Fujifilm RAF, Adobe DNG, Panasonic RW2, Olympus ORF, Pentax PEF, and Sigma X3F convert to JPG (sharing), PNG (lossless web), or TIFF (print and archival).
- Print and design hand-off — Convert PSD, EPS, or layered TIFF down to flat JPG or PNG when the recipient lacks Photoshop. Going the other direction, PNG/JPG to TIFF preserves quality for press-ready PDFs.
- Favicon and app icons — ICO is still required by older Windows shortcut handlers and several legacy CMS themes, even though MDN now recommends PNG
<link>tags for modern favicons. - Vector vs raster — SVG for logos and icons that must scale crisply; convert to PNG when you need a fixed-size raster (e.g., social previews, OG images, app store screenshots).
Format Comparison — JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC, TIFF
| Property | JPG | PNG | WebP | AVIF | HEIC | TIFF |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Compression | Lossy | Lossless | Lossy + Lossless | Lossy + Lossless | Lossy + Lossless | Lossless (typical) |
| Transparency | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Animation | No | No (APNG only) | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
| Color depth | 8-bit/channel | 8 or 16-bit | 8-bit | up to 12-bit HDR | up to 16-bit HDR | up to 16-bit |
| Browser support | Universal | Universal | ~95% (Safari 16.0+) | ~94% (Safari 16.4+) | ~12% (Safari only) | Not displayed natively |
| Typical use | Photos, sharing | Logos, screenshots | Web images | Web images, HDR | iPhone library | Print, archival |
| File size vs JPG | baseline | larger | 25-35% smaller | 30-50% smaller | ~50% smaller | much larger |
Choosing the Right Output Format
| Goal | Best Format | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Universal sharing (email, chat, web upload) | JPG | Opens everywhere; ~32-year track record |
| Logos, screenshots, UI mockups | PNG | Lossless, sharp edges, transparency |
| Modern website images | WebP | 95%+ browser support, smaller than JPG/PNG |
| Bleeding-edge web with HDR | AVIF | 94%+ support, smallest at equal quality |
| Apple-only library or AirDrop | HEIC | Native iOS/macOS, ~half the size of JPG |
| Print or photo archival | TIFF | 16-bit lossless, no generation loss |
| Logos that must scale | SVG | Vector, infinite zoom without blur |
| Favicon | ICO or PNG | ICO for legacy, PNG <link> for modern |
| Embed in a PDF | JPG or PNG | Universally supported by PDF readers |
| Animated frames | GIF or WebP | GIF for compatibility, WebP for smaller size |
Lossy vs Lossless Quick Guide
| Type | Formats | What changes each save |
|---|---|---|
| Lossy | JPG, WebP (lossy mode), AVIF (lossy), HEIC (lossy) | Small artifacts accumulate with each re-save; pick once and stop re-encoding |
| Lossless | PNG, TIFF, WebP (lossless), AVIF (lossless), BMP, GIF | Pixel-perfect every time; larger files |
| Vector | SVG, EPS | Resolution-independent; no pixel loss at any scale |
If you plan multiple edit-save cycles, work in PNG or TIFF and export to JPG/WebP only at the end. For most one-shot web exports, lossy WebP at "Very High" quality gives the best size-to-quality balance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which output format should I pick for a photo going on a website?
Lossy WebP at "Very High" quality is the best default in 2026 — 95%+ browser support and 25-35% smaller than equivalent JPG. If you need to reach the last 5% (older Safari, niche browsers, some email clients), keep a JPG copy. AVIF is even smaller but slower to encode and not yet supported by some image CDNs and older Edge builds.
Can I convert RAW camera photos like CR3, NEF, ARW, and DNG?
Yes. Canon CR2/CR3/CRW, Nikon NEF, Sony ARW, Adobe DNG, Fujifilm RAF, Olympus ORF, Panasonic RW2, Pentax PEF, Sigma X3F, and several others are accepted. Convert to JPG for sharing, PNG for lossless web use, or TIFF for archival and print. RAW conversion uses the embedded camera profile, so colors match what you saw on the camera screen.
Will converting reduce my image quality?
It depends on the path. JPG to JPG re-encodes and loses a bit each time. PNG to JPG drops to 8-bit and adds compression artifacts. PNG to TIFF, PNG to WebP-lossless, and TIFF to TIFF are pixel-identical. Use the Quality Preset to control how aggressively lossy formats compress — "Very High (Recommended)" stays visually transparent for almost all photos.
Does the converter preserve EXIF metadata (camera settings, GPS, date)?
EXIF is preserved when both source and target support it — JPG to JPG, TIFF to JPG, HEIC to JPG, WebP to JPG all carry metadata through. Conversions to PNG and SVG drop EXIF because those formats don't carry the standard tags. If you want to strip GPS before sharing publicly, convert through PNG and back, or use a dedicated EXIF stripper.
Why can't my Windows PC open HEIC files from my iPhone?
HEIC uses the HEVC video codec, which Microsoft licenses separately from Windows. On Windows 10 and 11 you need both the "HEIF Image Extensions" (free) and the "HEVC Video Extensions" (paid, ~$0.99) from the Microsoft Store. Converting HEIC to JPG or PNG online sidesteps the whole licensing dance. See the dedicated HEIC to JPG and HEIC to PNG pages.
How do I make my image smaller without changing the format?
Use the Image Compressor for in-place size reduction, or use this converter and pick the same input/output extension while lowering the Quality Preset and Resolution Percentage. For PNG, dropping to 8-bit indexed color via WebP-lossless or recompressing usually beats re-saving the PNG.
Can I batch convert a folder of mixed formats to one target?
Yes. Drop a mix of JPG, PNG, HEIC, and RAW files at once, pick a single Image File Extension, and every file converts to that target. Download as a ZIP from the results screen. The browser does the work locally, so a 50-file batch doesn't depend on a queue or server tier.
Does it work on iPhone and Android browsers?
Yes — every modern mobile browser (Safari on iOS, Chrome and Firefox on Android) runs the converter the same way as desktop. iPhone users frequently use the page to convert HEIC photos to JPG before texting them to Windows or Android contacts.
Should I convert to ICO for my website favicon in 2026?
Only if you need to support pre-Edge Internet Explorer or very old Windows shortcut handlers. MDN now recommends shipping a PNG via <link rel="icon"> for modern browsers. The converter outputs ICO at standard 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 64x64, 128x128, and 256x256 sizes when you do need it.
Are my files uploaded to your servers?
Conversion runs in your browser session — files aren't published to a public bucket or shared with third parties. Use JPG to PNG, PNG to WebP, or WebP to PNG for the most common single-direction conversions, or stay on this page for any input/output combination.
