Convert images
Short answer
Converts JPG, PNG, WebP and HEIC images to JPG, PNG or WebP. You pick the target format, and the tool works out each file's original format by itself. Everything runs in your browser.

How it works
Pick the target format under “Convert to”. JPG is selected to start with.
For JPG and WebP, set the quality. For JPG, also choose the color for transparent areas.
Drag your images into the box or select them with “Choose files”. Mixing JPG, PNG, WebP and HEIC is fine.
Download the results one by one or together as a ZIP.

Which format for which job
Whether an image is better off as JPG, PNG or WebP depends on what you want to do with it. The most common cases:
- Emailing a photo or adding it to a form: JPG. Every device opens it, and photos stay a manageable size.
- iPhone photo in HEIC format for a Windows PC: JPG. Outside Apple devices, many programs don’t know HEIC.
- Logo, icon or product shot with the background removed: PNG or WebP. Both keep the transparent background.
- Screenshot with lots of text: PNG. Lettering stays crisp because PNG doesn’t throw away detail.
- Images for your own website: WebP. Pages load faster, and every current browser displays the format.
- An image you’re still working on: PNG as your working copy. Saving it again and again then costs no quality.
- Prints from a photo service: JPG at high quality, around 90 to 95. Many print services don’t accept WebP.
The three formats compared
JPG uses lossy compression. It drops fine detail that hardly anyone misses in a photo. JPG has no transparency. In return, practically every program and device can read it, from an old image viewer to the upload field on a government website.
PNG records every pixel exactly and can store transparent areas. Graphics with sharp edges and few colors stay small as PNG. Photos, on the other hand, quickly grow to several megabytes.
WebP offers both lossy and lossless compression, plus transparency. At similar quality, a photo saved as WebP usually needs a quarter to a third less space than a JPG. Older programs and some upload forms still refuse WebP, though. You set the WebP quality with the slider.
What converting can’t do
A different format won’t make an image sharper. Whatever an earlier compression removed is missing from the new file too. A small JPG turned into a PNG is just a bigger file with the same pixels.
With JPG as the target, any transparency is lost. The tool then fills transparent spots with the color you set under “Background for transparent areas”.
Single format pairs such as WebP to JPG have their own pages with notes on exactly that conversion. You’ll find them under “Other conversions” right below the tool.
Formats and limits
Good to know
- On this page you can choose JPG, PNG or WebP as the target. JPG is the starting value.
- The tool reads JPG, PNG, WebP and HEIC, the iPhone's photo format. HEIC is supported as an input only.
- The tool reads each file's format from its first bytes. The file extension doesn't matter.
- The selected format applies to every image you add afterwards. If you change it midway, finished results keep the format they already have.
- With PNG as the target, the quality slider disappears because PNG is lossless.
- Moving images such as animated WebP, APNG or HEIC image sequences are not converted. You get a notice instead.
- Capture date, camera model and GPS position don't end up in the new file. Color profiles are converted to sRGB.
- Each image can have up to 50 megapixels, or up to 16 megapixels on iPhone and iPad. Larger images are rejected with a notice.
- All converted images together can be up to 512 MB, or up to 192 MB on iPhone and iPad. The same limit applies to the ZIP file.
Which format should I choose?
Use JPG for photos that need to work everywhere. Graphics with a transparent background or text are best kept as PNG. If the image goes on a website and should load quickly, WebP fits best.
Can I convert a mix of formats?
Yes. Put all the images into the box together, HEIC photos from your iPhone included. Each file gets the format selected under “Convert to”, whatever format it had before.
What happens if an image is already in the target format?
The tool saves it again with the quality value you set. For JPG and WebP that can make the file smaller, but every pass costs a little sharpness. Only convert such images if you need them smaller.
Why can't I convert GIF or AVIF files?
The tool only reads JPG, PNG, WebP and HEIC, and it writes JPG, PNG or WebP. It turns down other files with a notice.
