TL;DR: Upload an image and choose a target format (JPG/PNG/WebP/AVIF/TIFF/BMP/GIF) to convert it in your browser.
Convert images online for free — change between WebP, PNG, JPG, TIFF, BMP and HEIC formats instantly. Perfect for converting iPhone HEIC photos to JPG. No upload required.
Image Format Converter keeps nothing. The public demo processes your upload in isolated temporary storage and unlinks it the moment you have your result — no retention window, no analytics on file contents, no third-party file sharing. The privacy claim is auditable in the GitHub repo.
Convert images online for free — change between WebP, PNG, JPG, TIFF, BMP and HEIC formats instantly. Perfect for converting iPhone HEIC photos to JPG. No upload required. Use it when you need a quick, private, no-account way to handle a file in the browser, or when you want an auditable open-source alternative to cloud converters, ad-heavy utility sites, and desktop apps. The page at /tools/image-converter is designed for one clear job: upload or provide the input, choose only the options that matter, and download the result without creating an account or passing through a sales funnel.
Many non-PDF utilities run entirely in your browser; conversion or media operations that need backend libraries use the same isolated container model. Temporary input and output files are not used for analytics, model training, advertising profiles, or product telemetry. The public demo uses anonymous page-view analytics only; file bytes, extracted text, filenames, passwords, signatures, and generated results are outside that analytics path. If your organization needs stricter controls, you can self-host all 214 PrivaTools utilities and keep processing on your own infrastructure.
Before running Image Format Converter, confirm that the source file opens correctly and that you have permission to process it. Keep the original asset, choose the smallest output that still matches your target app, and test the result before deleting source media. For sensitive material, review the downloaded result before sharing it. For large files, give the browser time to finish the download and avoid refreshing the page mid-run. If a password, damaged upload, unsupported codec, or malformed document blocks processing, PrivaTools returns a plain-language error so you can pick the next recovery step instead of guessing.
Image Format Converter is intentionally narrow: it does one file task and hands the result back as a normal download. That makes the output easy to inspect, rename, archive, attach to email, or feed into another tool. If you need a repeatable workflow, save the page, bookmark a Pipeline recipe, or self-host the API so the same steps can run from internal scripts. The interface avoids accounts and cloud folders on purpose: the safest default for private files is to process only the current request, return the result, and leave long-term storage under your control.
Image Format Converter runs in any modern browser on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS — there is nothing to install, no extension to add, and no desktop app to keep updated. Because the interface is a single page, you can bookmark it, send the link to a colleague, or open it on a phone and get the same result you would on a laptop. There are no watermarks stamped onto your output, no sign-in wall before the download, and no paid tier that unlocks the “real” version later — the Image Format Converter you see is the complete tool. For teams that would rather keep everything in-house, the same endpoint ships in the MIT-licensed, self-hostable build, so you can run it behind your own firewall with identical behaviour and no outbound calls. That combination — instant in the browser for individuals, fully self-hostable for organizations — is what keeps a private file genuinely private from upload to download.
PNG for graphics with transparency or crisp text/UI elements. JPG for photos (smaller files at near-identical quality). WebP for web delivery (smaller than JPG at the same quality, supported by all modern browsers). TIFF for archival or print workflows. HEIC for iPhone-style storage (limited compatibility outside Apple). AVIF for cutting-edge web (smallest of all, but newer browsers only).
EXIF is stripped during conversion by default for privacy (GPS, camera model, timestamps removed). Use View EXIF first to record any metadata you want to keep, or use the 'preserve metadata' toggle in advanced options if your destination workflow needs the original EXIF.
Yes — upload multiple images and all are converted to the chosen format, then bundled into a ZIP. For format-specific batch workflows you can also use the dedicated tools (jpg-to-png, heic-to-jpg, webp-to-png, etc.) which preselect the input/output formats.
Yes. The images are held in temporary per-request storage inside an isolated Docker container for the conversion pass only — both input and output are unlinked the moment your download begins. Nothing is logged, no thumbnail is kept, no copy is sent to any third-party API. The conversion uses libvips/Pillow locally.
500 MB per file with no daily or monthly quota. Maximum image dimensions are 100 megapixels (about 10000x10000 pixels) — sufficient for full-resolution DSLR RAW conversions.
Format-to-format quality depends on the codec. PNG → PNG, PNG → TIFF: lossless. JPG → PNG, HEIC → PNG: lossless (no re-encoding). JPG → JPG at quality 90+: imperceptibly lossy. JPG → WebP at quality 80: typically indistinguishable. Avoid stacked lossy conversions (JPG → JPG → JPG) which compound artifacts.
No — no account, no email, no sign-up. Upload, convert, download. Privacy guarantees are architectural.
Free with no daily limit (Convertio caps free use to 100 MB/day), no account required, no watermark on the output, and we support more formats than the freemium converters (HEIC, AVIF, JPEG XL in addition to the standard set). The conversion pipeline is open source and self-hostable.
