Understanding Image Formats
Choosing the right image format is crucial for balancing quality, file size, and compatibility. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you make the best choice for your needs.
The most widely used image format, ideal for photographs and complex images with many colors. JPEG uses lossy compression, which means some image data is discarded to achieve smaller file sizes. Best for web photos, digital photography, and images where small file size is important.
Best For:
Pros
- + Small file sizes
- + Universal compatibility
- + Good for photos
Cons
- - Lossy compression
- - No transparency
- - Quality loss on re-saving
A versatile format that supports lossless compression and transparency. PNG preserves all image data without any quality loss, making it perfect for graphics, logos, screenshots, and images that need transparent backgrounds. Larger than JPEG for photos but ideal for graphics.
Best For:
Pros
- + Lossless quality
- + Transparency support
- + Sharp edges
Cons
- - Larger file sizes
- - Not ideal for photos
- - No animation
A modern image format developed by Google that provides superior compression for both lossy and lossless images. WebP typically produces files 25-35% smaller than JPEG and PNG while maintaining equivalent visual quality. Supported by all modern browsers.
Best For:
Pros
- + Excellent compression
- + Supports transparency
- + Smaller than JPEG/PNG
Cons
- - Limited legacy support
- - Newer format
- - Some software compatibility
An older format best known for supporting simple animations. GIF uses lossless compression but is limited to 256 colors, making it unsuitable for photographs. Still widely used for simple animations, memes, and graphics with limited color palettes.
Best For:
Pros
- + Animation support
- + Wide compatibility
- + Small for simple images
Cons
- - 256 color limit
- - Poor for photos
- - Large animated files
High Efficiency Image Container is Apple's default format for iPhone and iPad photos. HEIC provides significantly better compression than JPEG while maintaining quality, but has limited compatibility outside Apple's ecosystem. Often needs conversion for sharing.
Best For:
Pros
- + Excellent compression
- + High quality
- + iOS default
Cons
- - Limited compatibility
- - Needs conversion
- - Windows/Android issues
Scalable Vector Graphics is an XML-based format for vector images. Unlike raster formats, SVG images can scale to any size without losing quality. Perfect for logos, icons, illustrations, and any graphics that need to display clearly at multiple sizes.
Best For:
Pros
- + Infinitely scalable
- + Small file sizes
- + Editable code
Cons
- - Not for photos
- - Complex images = large files
- - Browser rendering differences

Yes, all our image tools are completely free with no hidden costs, watermarks, or limitations. We sustain the service through non-intrusive advertising while keeping all features accessible to everyone. There are no premium tiers, no signup requirements, and no artificial restrictions on file sizes or the number of images you can process. You can use our tools for both personal and commercial projects without any fees.
Privacy is at the core of how we built these tools. Unlike most online image converters that upload your files to their servers, all our processing happens directly in your web browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your images never leave your device - they're not uploaded, stored, or transmitted anywhere. This means even we cannot see your images. This approach is perfect for sensitive photos, business documents, or any images containing personal information.
Our tools support all major image formats including JPEG/JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, SVG, HEIC/HEIF (iPhone photos), TIFF, and more. Each tool specifies which formats it accepts for input and what output formats are available. For example, our WebP converter accepts JPEG and PNG inputs, while our HEIC converter specifically handles Apple's high-efficiency format. We're constantly adding support for new formats based on user needs.
There are no artificial limits on file sizes or the number of images you can process. Since all processing happens in your browser, the only limitations are your device's memory and processing power. Most modern devices can easily handle images up to 50MB or process batches of 50+ images at once. For very large files or extensive batch operations, we recommend using a desktop browser for optimal performance.
Absolutely! All our tools are free for both personal and commercial use. You can use them for client work, business marketing materials, e-commerce product images, social media content, and any other commercial purposes. There's no attribution required, no licensing fees, and no restrictions on how you use the processed images. The output files are yours to use however you need.
Our compression tools use advanced algorithms that analyze your image to find the optimal balance between file size and visual quality. For JPEG compression, we use intelligent quantization that preserves important visual details while removing imperceptible data. For PNG, we apply lossless compression techniques that reduce file size without any quality loss. You can adjust quality settings with real-time previews to find the perfect balance for your needs.
JPEG is best for photographs and complex images - it uses lossy compression for smaller files but doesn't support transparency. PNG is ideal for graphics, logos, and images requiring transparency - it uses lossless compression but produces larger files for photos. WebP is a modern format that offers both lossy and lossless compression with transparency support, typically producing files 25-35% smaller than JPEG/PNG with equivalent quality. Choose based on your specific needs: JPEG for photos, PNG for graphics, WebP for modern web optimization.
Yes! Since our tools process images entirely in your browser, they can work offline once the page is loaded. This makes them perfect for situations with limited connectivity. Our tools are also fully responsive and work on mobile devices including smartphones and tablets. While desktop browsers offer the best performance for large files or batch operations, you can comfortably use our tools on any device with a modern web browser.
Our HEIC to JPG converter makes it easy. Simply drag and drop your iPhone photos (or any HEIC/HEIF files) onto the upload area, select your desired quality setting, and download the converted JPEG files. The conversion happens instantly in your browser, preserving image quality while creating universally compatible files you can share anywhere. This is perfect for sharing iPhone photos with Windows users or uploading to platforms that don't support HEIC.
WebP is a modern image format developed by Google that provides superior compression compared to JPEG and PNG. WebP files are typically 25-35% smaller while maintaining the same visual quality. It supports both lossy compression (like JPEG) and lossless compression (like PNG), plus transparency (alpha channel). All modern browsers support WebP, making it ideal for websites where faster loading times improve user experience and SEO. Convert your images to WebP to significantly reduce page load times.
Use our Image Metadata Viewer tool to see and remove EXIF data from your photos. EXIF data can include sensitive information like GPS coordinates, camera settings, date/time, and even the device used to take the photo. Our tool lets you view all metadata, selectively remove specific fields, or strip all metadata for maximum privacy. This is essential before sharing photos online to protect your location privacy.
Yes, most of our tools support batch processing. You can upload multiple images at once by dragging and dropping a selection or using the file picker to select multiple files. All images are processed with the same settings, and you can download them individually or as a ZIP archive. Batch processing is particularly useful for tasks like compressing multiple photos for email, converting a folder of images to WebP, or adding watermarks to product photos.
