Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best format for photos?
For photographs, JPG is typically the best choice due to its efficient compression. For higher quality needs, consider WEBP or AVIF which offer better compression at similar quality levels.
What is the difference between PNG and WEBP?
PNG is a lossless format ideal for graphics with transparency, while WEBP provides superior compression (both lossy and lossless) but may have limited browser support in some cases.
Can I convert HEIC images from my iPhone?
Yes! Our converter fully supports HEIC format, allowing you to convert iPhone photos to JPG, PNG, or other formats while preserving image quality.
Is there a file size limit?
Free users can convert files up to 50MB each. Pro users enjoy increased limits up to 500MB per file and batch processing of unlimited files.
How does the quality slider work?
The quality slider adjusts compression levels for lossy formats like JPG, WEBP, and AVIF. Higher values preserve more detail but create larger files.
Can I convert RAW camera files?
Yes, we support popular RAW formats including CR2 (Canon), NEF (Nikon), ARW (Sony), and DNG (Adobe). These convert to standard formats like JPG or PNG.
Complete Guide to Image Formats
Understanding image formats is crucial for optimizing your digital assets. This comprehensive guide covers everything from basic concepts to professional workflows.
Image Format Basics
Lossy vs Lossless Compression
Lossy compression reduces file size by permanently eliminating certain information, especially redundant information. Formats like JPG, WEBP, and AVIF use lossy compression, making them ideal for photographs where perfect reproduction isn't critical.
Lossless compression preserves all original data, allowing perfect reconstruction of the original image. PNG, GIF, and BMP are lossless formats, best for graphics, logos, and images requiring exact reproduction.
Raster vs Vector Formats
Raster images are composed of pixels and have fixed dimensions. When scaled up, they lose quality. Most common formats (JPG, PNG, WEBP) are raster-based.
Vector images use mathematical equations to define shapes and can be scaled infinitely without quality loss. SVG is the primary vector format for web use.
Color Depth and Transparency
Different formats support varying color depths (8-bit, 16-bit, 24-bit) and transparency options (alpha channel). PNG and WEBP support full transparency, while JPG does not support transparency at all.
Format-by-Format Deep Dive
JPG / JPEG
What it is: The most common image format, developed by Joint Photographic Experts Group.
How it works: Uses discrete cosine transform compression to reduce file size while maintaining reasonable quality.
Benefits: Excellent compression ratios, universal compatibility, ideal for photographs.
Limitations: Lossy compression artifacts, no transparency support.
Best use cases: Digital photography, web images, email attachments.
PNG
What it is: Portable Network Graphics, created as an improved replacement for GIF.
How it works: Uses DEFLATE compression, a lossless data compression algorithm.
Benefits: Lossless compression, full alpha transparency, wide browser support.
Limitations: Larger file sizes than lossy formats for photographs.
Best use cases: Web graphics, logos, images requiring transparency.

Conversion Use Cases
Web Performance Optimization
Convert traditional formats to WEBP or AVIF for significant file size reductions without visible quality loss. These modern formats can reduce image file sizes by 25-50% compared to JPG and PNG.
Photography Workflows
Convert RAW files to editable formats while preserving maximum quality. Batch process hundreds of images with consistent settings for efficient workflow management.
UI/UX Design
Export assets in multiple formats and sizes for responsive design. Create optimized images for different device resolutions and network conditions.
Social Media Optimization
Convert and resize images to platform-specific dimensions and formats. Maintain visual quality while meeting file size limitations of various social networks.
