JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, and HEIC (iPhone photos) — add as many as you like

Why the "best" format depends on what you're doing with it

There's no single format that's right for every situation — each one trades off compatibility, file size, and quality differently. JPG is universally supported and has been the default for photos for decades, which makes it the safest choice when you're not sure what the receiving end can handle. PNG can't lose quality no matter how many times it's re-saved, which matters for graphics, logos, or screenshots you might edit again later, but that losslessness comes at the cost of larger files for photographic images. WebP is the newer option, generally producing smaller files than JPG at similar visual quality, though a small number of older tools and services still don't accept it. HEIC is Apple's default photo format on iPhone — efficient on-device, but poorly supported almost everywhere outside Apple's own ecosystem, which is usually the actual reason someone needs to convert it.

Frequently asked questions

Why won't my iPhone photo open in some apps or websites?

iPhones save photos as HEIC by default, which many older programs and some websites don't support. Converting to JPG here fixes that instantly, and nothing about your photo leaves your device in the process.

Which format should I pick?

JPG is the safest choice for compatibility and photos. PNG is lossless and best for screenshots, graphics, or anything needing transparency. WebP gives smaller files than JPG at similar quality, but a few older tools still don't support it.

Does the quality slider affect PNG?

No — PNG is a lossless format, so there's no quality trade-off to make. The slider only applies to JPG and WebP.

Can I convert several images at once, even in different formats?

Yes — add as many images as you like in any mix of supported formats, and they're all converted to your chosen output format together.

Do my photos get uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything happens locally in your browser — your images are never sent to a server, conversion happens entirely on your own device.
