Format Categories
Standard Raster Formats
The most widely used image formats. JPEG is the standard for photographs, PNG for graphics with transparency, GIF for animations, and BMP for uncompressed bitmaps. These formats are supported by virtually every device and application.
Modern Formats
Next-generation image formats offering better compression and quality. WebP (developed by Google) offers 25-35% smaller files than JPEG. AVIF uses the AV1 codec for even better compression. HEIC is Apple's default photo format on iPhones. These formats are increasingly supported by modern browsers and devices.
RAW Camera Formats
Professional camera RAW files contain unprocessed sensor data, preserving maximum image quality and editing flexibility. We support RAW formats from Canon (CR2), Nikon (NEF), Sony (ARW), Adobe (DNG), Olympus (ORF), Panasonic (RW2), Fuji (RAF), and Pentax (PEF). Convert these directly to JPEG, PNG, or WebP without needing expensive photo editing software.
Vector Formats
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) files are resolution-independent graphics commonly used for logos, icons, and illustrations. We rasterize SVGs to high-quality pixel formats at 150 DPI by default, perfect for web use or printing.
