Free Online Image Converter

Kept

• ✓The image resolution (pixel dimensions)
• ✓The correct photo orientation (EXIF orientation is applied)
• ✓Transparency, whenever the output format supports it

Changed

• ~Lossy formats (JPG, WebP, AVIF) recompress the image at the quality you choose
• ~Formats without transparency fill transparent areas with the background color you pick
• ~PNG output can optionally be optimized further for a smaller file; the picture stays pixel-for-pixel the same, but saving takes longer

Not carried over

• ✕EXIF, location and camera data: left out of the output for privacy
• ✕Animation: only the first frame is kept, except when an animated GIF is saved as GIF, which keeps every frame and its display time (animated WebP and AVIF output is not available)

One tool for the common formats

Switch a photo from PNG to JPG, turn a WebP you downloaded into a PNG, or render an SVG logo as a PNG, all from the same page and without installing anything.

Prepare images for the web

Convert photos to WebP or AVIF to make pages lighter, or back to JPG when a form or program demands it. The result bar shows how much each file shrank or grew.

Convert a whole batch

Add up to 50 images at once, choose the output format one time and download everything as a single ZIP.

JPEG image (JPG)

JPG (JPEG) is the most widely used photo format. It uses lossy compression: detail the eye notices least is discarded to make files small, and the quality setting trades size against detail. JPG does not support transparency and is not ideal for text or sharp-edged graphics, but nearly every device, app and website opens it.

Portable Network Graphics (PNG)

PNG stores pixels without loss and supports full transparency, which makes it a good fit for screenshots, logos and graphics with sharp edges or text. The price is size: photographs saved as PNG are usually much larger than the same picture as JPG or WebP. PNG does not store animations.

WebP image

WebP is an image format developed by Google for the web. It supports both lossy and lossless compression, transparency and animation, and typically produces smaller files than JPG or PNG at similar quality. All current browsers display WebP, though some older editors and print services cannot open it.

AV1 Image File Format (AVIF)

AVIF is a modern image format based on the AV1 video codec. It delivers very small files at high visual quality, supports transparency, HDR and animation, and is among the most efficient formats for the web. Encoding is slower than for other formats, and some older software cannot open AVIF yet.

Graphics Interchange Format (GIF)

GIF is an image format from 1987 limited to 256 colors per image. It supports simple on/off transparency and short animations, which is why it is still used for small graphics and looping clips. For photographs it is a poor choice, because the color limit causes visible banding.

Bitmap image (BMP)

BMP is a bitmap format that stores pixels with little or no compression, so files are large. It is simple and widely supported by Windows software but rarely used on the web; PNG gives the same pixel-exact result in a much smaller file.

Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG)

SVG describes an image with shapes, paths and text in XML instead of pixels, so it stays sharp at any size. It is ideal for logos, icons and illustrations. When a program or website needs a pixel image, an SVG is rendered into a raster format such as PNG at a chosen size.

Windows icon format (ICO)

ICO is an icon format that stores several square sizes (for example 16, 32 and 48 pixels) in a single file. It is used for Windows icons and for a website's favicon.ico; when a browser needs a small tab icon it picks the matching size from the file. It supports transparency, but cannot be larger than 256 × 256 pixels.
