Image Converter
Our Image Converter switches a picture between JPG, PNG, WEBP, GIF, and BMP — any format to any other. It also accepts HEIC, TIFF, and SVG as input, so iPhone photos, scanner output, and vector graphics can all be converted to a web-friendly raster format. Upload a file, pick the format you need, and download the result in seconds.
How to Use the Image Converter
1. Upload Your Image
- Drag and drop a JPG, PNG, WEBP, GIF, BMP, HEIC, TIFF, or SVG file onto the drop zone
- Or click to browse and select a file from your device
- Files up to 10MB are supported
2. Pick a Target Format
- Choose JPG, PNG, WEBP, GIF, or BMP as the output format
- Click "Convert image" to upload and process the file
3. Preview and Download
- Check the converted image in the preview
- Download it with one click
Key Features
Format Support
- Convert between JPG, PNG, WEBP, GIF, and BMP — any source to any target
- Accepts HEIC, TIFF, and SVG as input and decodes them to your chosen target format
- Transparency is preserved when converting to PNG, WEBP, or GIF
- Transparent areas are filled with white when converting to JPG or BMP, since those formats don't support transparency
Quality
- Lossless formats (PNG, BMP, GIF) convert without quality loss
- JPG and WEBP output use a quality slider (1–100, default 90) so you can dial in a smaller file or a higher-fidelity result on the fly
- PNG, GIF, and BMP ignore the slider — they are either lossless or do not expose a quality knob in the underlying encoder
Advanced Input Formats
In addition to the five core raster formats, the Image Converter accepts three additional input formats that are commonly found in the wild but are not natively readable by every browser or image library:
HEIC (iPhone photos)
HEIC is the default photo format on iOS since 2017. Files are smaller than equivalent JPGs but most desktop image viewers, websites, and chat apps don't open them. Upload a HEIC and pick JPG, PNG, or WEBP to get a universally compatible copy.
TIFF (scanners, print, archiving)
TIFF is the de facto standard for scanned documents, print proofs, and archival photography. Files are large and most chat apps won't preview them. Upload a TIFF and pick JPG or WEBP for sharing, or PNG for editing.
SVG (vector graphics)
SVG is an XML-based vector format used for icons, logos, and illustrations on the web. Upload an SVG and pick PNG, JPG, or WEBP to flatten it to a raster image at a sensible default resolution.
HEIC, TIFF, and SVG are input only — they cannot be selected as a target format. Decoding uses the Imagick PHP extension when available, falling back to the ImageMagick convert shell command (or rsvg-convert for SVG).
Use Cases
1. iPhone Photos
- Convert HEIC photos from your iPhone to JPG for use on Windows, Android, or older apps
- Convert HEIC to PNG to preserve quality before editing in a non-Apple tool
2. Web Publishing
- Convert PNG or BMP screenshots to JPG or WEBP for smaller page weight
- Convert WEBP images to PNG or JPG for compatibility with older tools
- Convert SVG icons and logos to PNG or WEBP for use in tools that don't render vectors
- Prepare images in the exact format a CMS or platform requires
3. Scanners and Print
- Convert large TIFF files from a scanner or print proof to JPG or WEBP for sharing
- Convert TIFF to PNG when you need a lossless target for editing
4. Design and Editing Workflows
- Convert between formats your design tools and target platforms both accept
- Get a lossless PNG from a JPG when you need to edit without further compression artifacts
- Standardize a batch of mixed-format images to one target format, one at a time
5. Compatibility
- Convert modern WEBP images to JPG or PNG for tools and email clients that don't support WEBP
- Convert legacy BMP files to a modern, smaller format
Technical Features
- Server-Side Processing: Uses PHP's image-processing engine for accurate, reliable format conversion. HEIC, TIFF, and SVG inputs are decoded via Imagick or ImageMagick before being handed to GD.
- Transparency Handling: Correctly flattens or preserves alpha transparency depending on the target format's capabilities
- Automatic Cleanup: Uploaded files are processed and discarded, not retained
Why Use Our Image Converter
1. No Software Required
- Works entirely in your browser — no image editor or codec installation needed
- No signup, no account, no watermarks
2. Any Format to Any Format
- A single tool covers all ten conversion pairs across JPG, PNG, WEBP, GIF, and BMP
- HEIC, TIFF, and SVG extend the input set so the same tool handles iPhone photos, scanner output, and vector art
3. Fast and Free
- Instant processing for typical image sizes
- Completely free, with no usage limits beyond the 10MB file size cap
Understanding Image Format Conversion
JPG
A lossy, compressed format best suited for photos. No transparency support. Smaller files, some quality loss on each re-save.
PNG
A lossless format with full transparency (alpha channel) support. Best for graphics, logos, and screenshots where sharp edges and transparency matter.
WEBP
A modern format from Google offering both lossy and lossless modes, generally producing smaller files than JPG or PNG at comparable quality, with transparency support. Not universally supported by older software.
GIF
An older format limited to 256 colors, with support for simple transparency and animation (this tool converts static images; animated GIFs are read as their first frame).
BMP
An uncompressed or lightly compressed format, producing large files with no transparency support. Mostly used for compatibility with older Windows software.
HEIC
A modern container used by Apple since iOS 11. Stores photos at roughly half the size of an equivalent JPG. Most desktop and web tools can't read it without conversion.
TIFF
A flexible container widely used for scanned documents, print, and archival. Files are large but lossless. Not commonly accepted by web platforms.
SVG
An XML-based vector format. Files are tiny and infinitely scalable, but raster-only tools (most image editors, social media) cannot ingest them.
Remember: converting between lossy formats (like JPG and WEBP) repeatedly can compound quality loss — for the best result, convert from your original, highest-quality source file whenever possible.
