Convert Image
âšī¸ How it works:
- Select one image or several at once
- Pick the format you want them saved as
- Download the result, or a ZIP if you converted a batch
Change a Picture's File Type
Sometimes a photo is fine but the file type is wrong — a site only accepts JPG, a design tool will not open your HEIC, or you want a smaller WebP for a web page. Upload one image or a whole batch, choose what to save them as, and download. Nothing to install and no account.
iPhone Photos That Will Not Open
This is the most common reason people end up here. Since iOS 11, iPhones save photos as HEIC rather than JPG. It is an efficient format, but Windows often will not preview it, older software refuses it, and plenty of upload forms reject it outright. To change an iPhone photo to JPG, drop the HEIC file in here, choose JPG, and you get a file that opens anywhere.
Formats You Can Convert To
- JPG – the safe universal choice for photographs; opens on everything
- PNG – lossless, and keeps a transparent background
- WebP – noticeably smaller than JPG at similar quality, supports transparency, ideal for websites
- AVIF – smaller again than WebP, though older software may not open it yet
- TIFF – high quality, often wanted by print shops and publishers
- BMP – uncompressed, occasionally required by older Windows software
- ICO – the format browsers use for a site favicon
- SVG – wraps your picture in an SVG file (see the FAQ before choosing this)
How to Convert an Image
- Click the upload area above and pick one image, or select several together (up to 7 MB in total).
- Choose the output format from the dropdown.
- Click Convert & Download. A single image downloads directly; a batch arrives as a ZIP.
When You Might Need This
- An iPhone HEIC photo that will not open or upload
- A form that only accepts JPG or PNG
- Turning a PNG into a JPG to make it smaller for email
- Converting website images to WebP so pages load faster
- Making a favicon for a website from a square logo
- Converting a folder of photos to one consistent format
Supported Input and Limits
Upload JPG/JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, BMP, TIFF, HEIC or HEIF, up to 7 MB in total across all the files you select at once. Converting to PNG, WebP, AVIF, TIFF or ICO keeps a transparent background; converting to JPG or BMP cannot, because those formats have no way to store transparency.
Frequently Asked Questions
Convert it to JPG here and it will open in anything. HEIC is Apple's default photo format and Windows only reads it if an extra codec is installed, which is why a photo that looks fine on your phone appears as an unopenable file once it reaches a PC. You can convert a whole batch of them at once rather than one at a time. If you would rather stop the problem at source, iPhone Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible makes the camera shoot JPG instead.
JPG discards detail your eye is unlikely to notice, which makes photographs far smaller — but it cannot store transparency and it loses a little quality each time it is re-saved. PNG keeps every pixel exactly and supports a transparent background, at the cost of a much larger file for photographs. Use JPG for photos, PNG for logos, screenshots, line art and anything needing transparency.
Yes, unavoidably — the JPG format has no channel to store transparency in, so the clear areas get filled in. That is a property of JPG itself, not of this tool. If you need the background to stay clear, convert to PNG or WebP instead; both keep it intact.
No, and it is worth being clear about this. Choosing SVG here places your picture inside an SVG file — the result is a valid .svg that opens in any browser, but the artwork inside is still made of pixels. True vectorising traces shapes into editable paths that stay razor-sharp at any size, and that is a different job requiring dedicated software. If you need an SVG simply because a system demands that extension, this works. If you need artwork that scales infinitely, it will not.
Yes. Select as many images as you like in one go, as long as they come to 7 MB or less in total. They are all converted to the same format and returned together in a single ZIP file. One image on its own downloads directly instead.
WebP is a web format that is typically 25–35% smaller than an equivalent JPG, and unlike JPG it supports transparency. Every current browser reads it, so it is an excellent choice for anything going on a website. It is a poorer choice for files you need to email or hand to someone else, since some desktop applications still will not open it. AVIF goes smaller still, with slightly patchier software support.
