Frequently Asked Questions
What formats can I convert between?
▼
This tool supports 11 formats: PNG, JPEG, WebP, AVIF, BMP, GIF, TIFF, ICO, QOI, PDF, and SVG. You can convert any supported input format to any supported output format.
Does converting between formats reduce quality?
▼
It depends on the formats. Converting to lossy formats (JPEG, WebP, AVIF) discards some detail to achieve smaller files — use the quality slider to control this. Converting to lossless formats (PNG, BMP, TIFF) preserves every pixel exactly.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
▼
No. This tool runs 100% in your browser. Your images never leave your device. All conversion happens locally on your device. No data is transmitted, no cookies are used, and no third-party services have access to your files.
What is the maximum file size?
▼
Each file can be up to 25 MB, with a total limit of 100 MB across all uploaded files. You can upload up to 10 images at once.
What happens to transparent areas when converting to JPEG?
▼
JPEG does not support transparency. When converting from a format with transparency (PNG, WebP, GIF) to JPEG, transparent areas are filled with white. If you need to preserve transparency, convert to PNG or WebP instead.
What quality setting should I use?
▼
For JPEG, 85-95% gives excellent quality with good compression. For WebP, 75-90% is ideal as WebP compresses more efficiently than JPEG. For AVIF, 60-80% produces excellent results due to its superior compression algorithm. The default of 90% works well for most use cases.
Can I convert multiple images at once?
▼
Yes. Upload up to 10 images via drag & drop, file picker, or clipboard paste. Select your target format, click Convert All, and download all converted files individually or as a ZIP archive.
What is the ICO format used for?
▼
ICO is the favicon format used by websites. When converting to ICO, images larger than 256×256 pixels are automatically resized to fit the ICO specification. Use this to create favicons from any image.
What is the QOI format?
▼
QOI (Quite OK Image) is a fast, lossless image format designed for speed over compression ratio. It's useful in game development and applications where decode speed matters more than file size.
Will my images be saved if I close the browser?
▼
Yes. Your uploaded images and conversion results are automatically saved in your browser's IndexedDB storage. When you return to this page, everything is restored exactly as you left it. Click Clear All to remove all stored data.

Features Explained
PNG Conversion
▼
Convert any image to PNG — a lossless format that preserves every detail and supports transparency. Ideal for logos, icons, screenshots, and graphics with sharp edges.
JPEG Conversion
▼
Convert images to JPEG with adjustable quality (1-100%). Great for photographs and web images where smaller file sizes matter more than pixel-perfect accuracy. Transparent areas are filled with white.
WebP Conversion
▼
Convert to WebP — a modern format that offers excellent compression with adjustable quality. Supported by all major browsers and ideal for web performance.
AVIF Conversion
▼
Convert to AVIF — the latest image format with outstanding compression. Produces files significantly smaller than JPEG at the same visual quality. Adjustable quality slider, supported by Chrome, Firefox, and Edge.
BMP Conversion
▼
Convert to 32-bit BMP with full alpha channel support. Useful when you need raw pixel data or compatibility with older software and hardware that doesn't support modern formats.
GIF Conversion
▼
Convert images to GIF with automatic color quantization to a 256-color palette. Best for simple graphics, logos, and icons. Transparent areas are filled with white.
TIFF Conversion
▼
Convert to uncompressed TIFF — the standard format for print, photography, and archival workflows. Transparent areas are filled with white since TIFF in this tool does not preserve alpha channels.
ICO Conversion
▼
Convert images to ICO format for use as favicons and desktop icons. Large images are automatically resized to fit the 256×256 maximum while preserving aspect ratio. Output uses PNG compression inside the ICO container.
QOI Conversion
▼
Convert to QOI (Quite OK Image) — a fast, lossless format that compresses and decompresses significantly faster than PNG. Great for game assets, real-time applications, and workflows where speed matters.
PDF Conversion
▼
Convert images to single-page PDF documents. The image is embedded at full resolution, making it ready for sharing, printing, or archiving. Useful when you need to send an image as a document.
SVG Conversion
▼
Convert raster images to scalable vector graphics using automatic edge tracing. Works best with simple graphics, logos, and illustrations. Large images are automatically downscaled before tracing for performance.
Batch Conversion
▼
Upload and convert multiple images at once. All files are converted to the same target format with the same quality settings, saving time on bulk tasks.
Quality Control
▼
For JPEG, WebP, and AVIF, use the quality slider to find the perfect balance between file size and image clarity. Higher quality means larger files but sharper images.
ZIP Download
▼
When converting multiple images, download all results as a single ZIP archive. Each file keeps its original name with the new format extension.
Clipboard Paste
▼
Press Ctrl+V to paste an image directly from your clipboard. Great for converting screenshots without saving them as files first.
EXIF Metadata Stripping
▼
Converted images automatically have EXIF metadata (camera settings, GPS coordinates, date, orientation) removed during re-encoding. This protects your privacy when sharing images online.
Auto-Save Progress
▼
Your uploaded images and conversion results are saved automatically in your browser's IndexedDB. Refreshing the page restores everything so you don't lose your work. Click Clear All to remove stored data.

Tips for Converting Images
Use PNG for transparency
If your image has a transparent background (logos, icons, overlays), convert to PNG. JPEG, GIF, and TIFF fill transparent areas with white.
Use JPEG for photographs
Photos with lots of colors and gradients compress best as JPEG. Set quality to 80-92% for a great balance of size and clarity.
Try AVIF for the smallest files
AVIF produces files 30-50% smaller than JPEG at the same visual quality. If your audience uses modern browsers, AVIF is the best choice for web images.
Use WebP for broad web support
WebP gives you excellent compression with transparency support. All modern browsers support it — a safe default for web performance.
Use ICO for favicons
Convert your logo to ICO format for website favicons. Images are automatically resized to fit within 256×256 pixels.
Use PDF to share as a document
Convert images to PDF when you need to email them as documents or include them in print-ready workflows.
SVG works best for simple graphics
The SVG tracer converts pixels to vector paths. It works great for logos, icons, and illustrations — not for photographs.
Lower quality means smaller files
For JPEG, WebP, and AVIF, dropping quality from 92% to 75% can cut file size in half with barely visible difference on most photos.
Use batch mode for consistency
Upload all images at once to convert them to the same format with the same quality settings. Download the ZIP to get everything in one click.
Check the size change
The smart label above the grid shows total original and converted sizes after conversion. Converting PNG photos to JPEG or AVIF often saves 80%+ in file size.
