Yes! We support RAW formats from all major camera manufacturers. Upload your CR2, NEF, ARW, DNG, ORF, RW2, RAF, or PEF files and convert them to JPEG, PNG, WebP, or any other supported output format instantly.
Absolutely. HEIC (High Efficiency Image Format) is the default photo format on modern iPhones. Upload your HEIC files and convert them to JPEG, PNG, or any format you prefer. Try our dedicated HEIC to JPG converter.
Yes, we accept SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) as input and rasterize them to pixel-based formats like PNG, JPEG, or WebP at 150 DPI by default. This is perfect for converting logos and icons for use in presentations, documents, or social media.
You can convert to: JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC/HEIF, TIFF, GIF, BMP, and ICO. Each format has adjustable quality settings (Low, Medium, High) where applicable.
Both are modern image formats designed for the web. WebP (by Google) offers about 25-35% better compression than JPEG with broad browser support. AVIF uses the newer AV1 codec for even better compression (up to 50% smaller than JPEG) but has slightly less browser support. For maximum compatibility, choose WebP. For maximum compression, choose AVIF.
Privacy
Yes. Your uploaded files are processed on our server and automatically deleted within 2 hours. We never store, share, analyze, or sell your images. Our server handles the conversion and then discards the files. For more details, see our Privacy Policy.
We use essential cookies for site functionality and optional cookies for advertising (Google AdSense) and analytics. You can manage your cookie preferences through the consent banner that appears on your first visit. See our Cookie Policy for details.
Files are temporarily stored on our server during conversion and for up to 2 hours afterward (so you can download the results). After that, they are permanently deleted. We do not keep any copies, backups, or logs of your image files.
Technical
The maximum file size is 100MB per file. This is more than enough for virtually any image file, including high-resolution RAW photographs. If you have a file larger than 100MB, try compressing it first or contact us for assistance.
Click the "Switch to Batch Mode" button in the converter. Then upload up to 20 files at once (drag and drop or click to browse). Select your desired output format and quality, then click Convert. All files will be processed and you can download them individually or as a single ZIP file.
Common reasons: the file may be corrupted or not a valid image, the format may not be supported, or the file may exceed the 100MB size limit. If you get an error, check that your file opens correctly on your computer first. If the problem persists, contact us with details.
We currently offer a web-based interface only. An API for developers is on our roadmap. If you need programmatic access, please contact us to discuss your needs.
For most uses, High quality is recommended — it provides excellent visual quality with reasonable file sizes. Choose Medium for a good balance when file size matters (email attachments, web uploads). Choose Low when you need the smallest possible file size and some quality loss is acceptable.
