Universal Image Converter

No. Every conversion runs locally in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your files never leave your device, and nothing is stored or transmitted.

Drop your .heic or .heif file onto the converter, choose JPG as the output format, and click Convert. The HEIC decoder downloads once on first use (cached afterward) and everything happens on your device.

Yes — RAW formats from Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, Olympus, Panasonic, and more are supported as inputs. Convert them to JPG, PNG, TIFF, or any other supported output format.

Yes, both decoding and encoding. JPEG XL (.jxl) and JPEG 2000 (.jp2/.j2k) are next-generation formats offering better compression than JPEG at equivalent quality.

Yes. Pick JPEG, WebP, AVIF or JPEG XL, switch the compression panel to Target a file size, and give it a limit — there are one-click presets for 100 KB, 500 KB, 1 MB, Discord’s 8 MB and a 25 MB email cap. The tool then encodes the image repeatedly, searching for the highest quality that still fits, and tells you which quality it settled on. It has to measure rather than estimate, because how well a picture compresses depends entirely on the picture.

If even the lowest quality overshoots, the image simply has too many pixels for the budget. Leave Shrink the image if quality alone can't get there ticked and the tool will scale it down and search again, reporting the dimensions it ended up with. Untick it and the tool will tell you plainly that it could not reach the target and give you the smallest file it managed, rather than quietly handing back something over the limit.

Yes, when the output format can hold it (JPEG, PNG and WebP can; BMP, GIF, TIFF and most others cannot, and the tool tells you which is which). The EXIF block is carried across as raw bytes rather than rebuilt, so nothing is quietly lost, and any XMP packet — copyright, keywords, ratings — comes along too. A "Keep metadata" switch appears whenever the file you dropped actually has metadata, and the panel lists what it found so you can see exactly what would travel with the image.

Because your browser already applied it. Phone photos are usually stored sideways with an EXIF Orientation tag telling the viewer to turn them; the browser rotates the pixels as it decodes, so the converted image is already upright. Copying the original tag through would make every viewer rotate it a second time. The tool resets Orientation to 1 and updates the stored pixel dimensions to match the converted image, so a cropped or resized file doesn't carry the old size around.

It depends on how the image was decoded, and the tool does the honest thing either way. For formats the browser decodes itself (JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF) the pixels are converted to sRGB during decoding — so the original wide-gamut profile no longer describes them, and attaching it would visibly shift the colours. In that case the profile is dropped, the output is correctly tagged sRGB, and the tool says so. For formats decoded by this site's own codecs (HEIC, JPEG XL, JPEG 2000, camera RAW) no colour conversion happens, so the original profile still fits the pixels and is carried through.

Yes. Turn "Keep metadata" off and the output carries no EXIF, XMP or embedded profile. Note that EXIF can include GPS coordinates, device serial numbers and the exact time a photo was taken, which is worth removing before posting an image publicly. As with everything here, the file never leaves your browser either way.

Yes. Drop an animated GIF, APNG, animated WebP or animated AVIF and the converter reads every frame, then writes every frame out again with the original timing and loop count. Animated output is supported for GIF (including the palette and dithered variants), APNG and WebP. A "Keep animation" switch appears whenever the source has more than one frame — turn it off to export just the first frame as a still.

Drop the GIF, pick WebP as the output, and leave "Keep animation" switched on. You get a real animated WebP — usually far smaller than the GIF it came from, because WebP is not limited to 256 colours per frame. The same works in reverse, and to APNG, which keeps full alpha transparency that GIF cannot.

Yes — any crop, resize, rotate or flip you set is applied identically to every frame, so the animation stays in register from the first frame to the last.

Yes — drop or select several files and the tool switches to batch mode. Pick one target format, click Convert, and download each result individually or as a single .zip file.

Yes. The Resize Options panel lets you set exact output dimensions with contain/cover/stretch fitting, and the Rotate, Flip & Crop panel lets you rotate in 90° steps, flip horizontally or vertically, and crop to a precise pixel rectangle — all applied before the final conversion.

Converting between lossless formats (like PNG, BMP, or TIFF) preserves every pixel exactly. Converting to a lossy format (JPG, WebP, AVIF, JXL) uses the quality slider — higher values keep more detail at a larger file size.

Any of the 323 importable formats to any of the 284 exportable ones — 91,732 possible conversions in total. See the live Supported Formats list on this page for the exact, current set. The tool auto-detects your input by its magic bytes, then lets you choose any compatible output format.
