What is Image Format Converter?

This image format converter handles conversions between the common raster formats entirely in your browser, first probing which formats the current browser can actually encode and disabling the ones it cannot. Conversion runs on the native codecs built into the browser, so no file is uploaded.

How to use Image Format Converter

  1. 1Select a source image — any format your browser can decode works, including HEIC where the operating system supports it.
  2. 2Pick a target format; anything the browser cannot encode is marked "unsupported".
  3. 3Adjust the quality and download the result.

Frequently asked questions

Why is AVIF sometimes unavailable as an output format?+

Decoding and encoding support differ. Most browsers can display AVIF, but only some can encode it through Canvas. This tool runs a real capability probe on load and disables the option when encoding is unavailable, rather than showing a button that would silently fail.

Should I use WebP, AVIF, or JPEG?+

For photographic content, prefer AVIF — it gives the smallest files at a given quality. When compatibility matters most, choose WebP, which is now supported almost everywhere. Keep a JPEG copy as a fallback for older environments and let a picture element serve each format with graceful degradation.

Does converting an image strip its EXIF data?+

Yes. Redrawing through Canvas discards all metadata, including camera settings and GPS coordinates. That is usually a good thing when you are publishing images. If you genuinely need the metadata preserved, use a dedicated converter that copies it across.
