Image converter

Got an iPhone photo in HEIC, a WebP image saved from a website or a TIFF scan, and the site you need wants plain JPG or PNG? Convert them here in seconds, a whole batch at once, right in your browser.

Files never leave your device

Drop images here or

Every app and website wants something different. iPhones shoot HEIC, websites serve WebP, scanners save TIFF, and then an upload form says it doesn't recognize the file. Instead of hunting for software, drop the files here, pick JPG, PNG or WebP and download the results. You'll also find which format to use where, what the big sites accept and how to handle a scan with several pages.

How to change an image format

  1. 1

    Add your images

    Drag the files onto the page or pick them with the button, on a phone straight from your photo library. You can mix formats, for example HEIC photos with PNG screenshots.

  2. 2

    Choose the output format

    JPG for email and upload forms, PNG for screenshots and logos, WebP for images on your own website.

  3. 3

    Set quality and background

    For JPG and WebP, lower the Quality slider if you need a smaller file. For JPG, also pick the color that fills transparent areas.

  4. 4

    Download the result

    A single image downloads directly, several come in one ZIP. Any file that could not be converted is listed separately.

Which format to choose

For email, upload forms and listings, choose JPG, since every computer and phone opens it. Save screenshots with text, logos and images with a transparent background as PNG. WebP suits images for your own website or online store. Don't send WebP to forms: Google Business Profile, for example, accepts only JPG or PNG.

Which sites accept which image formats

When an upload fails with an "unsupported file type" message, the format is usually the reason. A LinkedIn profile photo has to be PNG or JPG, and Google Business Profile also takes only JPG or PNG. A US visa photo must be a JPEG. HEIC photos from an iPhone and WebP images saved from websites are the usual suspects.

Bigger platforms are more relaxed. eBay accepts JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, BMP, WebP, HEIC and AVIF, and Shopify takes JPEG, PNG, GIF, HEIC and WebP. If a form lists its allowed formats, follow that list. If it doesn't, JPG is the safest choice.

How to change an image format on iPhone and Mac

On an iPhone you can pick the format when you share. Open the photo in Photos, tap Share, then Options, and choose Most Compatible to send a HEIC photo as JPEG. Current sends it unchanged, and Automatic, the default, picks a format for you. To make the iPhone save new photos as JPEG, go to Settings > Camera > Formats and choose Most Compatible.

On a Mac, open the image in Preview and choose File > Export. The Format menu offers JPEG, PNG, HEIC, TIFF and PDF. Preview can convert several images at once if you open them together. On an iPhone, the Preview app can export an image as JPEG or PNG through the Actions Menu button and Export.

TIFF or BMP scan to JPG

Scanners often save several pages in a single TIFF file. The converter turns each page into its own image and adds the page number to the name, for example scan-1.jpg and scan-2.jpg. That way you can send only the page someone actually needs.

If the office or school wants all pages in one file, JPG won't do. Use TIFF to PDF or Images to PDF to join the pages into one document. BMP images convert to JPG the same way, and you see the new file size after converting.

Privacy

Images are processed in your browser and never uploaded to a server. Some tools remember your settings on this device, and the files you download stay on it.

FAQ

Which format should I use: JPG, PNG or WebP?

JPG for photos you email, upload to a form or add to a listing, since every device opens it and the files stay small. PNG for screenshots, logos and anything with transparency. WebP for images on your own website, where it usually gives smaller files than JPG.

Why won't a website accept my HEIC or WebP image?

Many upload forms only list JPG and PNG. HEIC is the iPhone's default photo format and WebP is what browsers often save from websites, so both get rejected even though the image itself is fine. Convert the file to JPG here and upload it again.

How do I change an image format on iPhone?

When you share a HEIC photo, tap Options and choose Most Compatible to send it as JPEG. Current sends it unchanged, and Automatic, the default, picks a format for you. For new photos, switch Settings > Camera > Formats to Most Compatible. More on the HEIC to JPG page.

Can I convert many images at once?

Yes. Select or drag all the files at once, even in different formats. They all get the same output format and download together in one ZIP. If one file can't be read, the rest are still converted and the failed one is listed.

What happens to transparency when converting to JPG?

JPG has no transparency, so transparent areas are filled with the color you pick before converting. White is the default. To keep a transparent background, for a logo or icon for example, choose PNG or WebP as the output format.

Does converting reduce quality?

PNG adds no compression loss, but images over 16 MP or with a side over 16,383 px are scaled down. JPG and WebP are lossy, though at the default quality the difference is usually invisible on screen. Lower the quality only when you need a smaller file.

How do I convert an image to PDF?

Use Images to PDF, which turns one or more photos into a single PDF document. This converter saves images only, as JPG, PNG or WebP. If all your photos are JPG, JPG to PDF works too.

Can I convert an image to HEIC?

No. The converter saves only JPG, PNG and WebP, which almost any program opens. HEIC saves space on a phone but is a poor choice for sending to Windows users or uploading to forms. On a Mac, Preview can export HEIC through File > Export.

Is the converter free, and do my images stay private?

Yes. It's free, with no sign-up and no watermark. Files are converted right in your browser tab and never sent anywhere, so you can safely convert a scanned ID card or private photos.
