Private, browser-native conversions

Image Converter - Private, Browser-Based Image Format Converter

Convert any image to PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, BMP, TIFF, and more directly in your browser. HEIC/HEIF files are decoded locally. This privacy-first image converter runs 100% on your device with an ImageMagick WebAssembly engine, so you can optimise images for the web without uploading files to a server.

Privacy-first; files never leave your deviceWebAssembly speed after the first loadOutputs: PNG, JPG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, BMP, TIFF, plus full ImageMagick list

Convert images without uploading them

Drag and drop an image or click to browse. The converter opens your file locally, shows a live preview, and lets you export to modern formats with full control over quality and file size.

  • Runs entirely in your browser (client-side image processing)
  • No uploads to a server; files never leave your device
  • Fast after the first load thanks to a cached WebAssembly core
  • Exports to common formats plus dozens more via custom extensions
  • HEIC/HEIF inputs are decoded locally before conversion

Tip: the first conversion downloads the converter engine. After that, conversions are instant and stay on your device.

Best results
  • Keep transparency? Choose PNG or WebP.
  • Shrink photos? Try JPG/WebP with quality 70-85.
  • Need print-ready? Use TIFF or high-quality PNG.

How to use the image converter

  1. Drag an image into the drop zone or click "Choose image".
  2. Check the source preview rendered directly in your browser.
  3. Select a preset output format or type a custom extension.
  4. If available, adjust the Quality slider to balance size and detail.
  5. Click Convert to generate the new file and download it.

This works for common tasks like:

  • Convert PNG to JPG to shrink large screenshots.
  • Convert JPG to WebP for smaller, modern web images.
  • Convert HEIC (iPhone photos) to web-ready formats like JPG, PNG, or WebP.
  • Export icons to ICO or vector-friendly SVG using the custom extension field.
  • Export print-friendly assets as high-quality TIFF or PNG.

Supported image formats

The ImageMagick engine exposes its full supported format list inside the tool. Here are common ones for web and print:

  • PNG - Lossless format that keeps transparency; ideal for UI, logos, and icons.
  • JPG/JPEG - Best for photos and gradients with lossy compression.
  • WebP - Modern, small files; great for web performance and hero images.
  • AVIF - Ultra-efficient modern format for web delivery when supported by your browser build.
  • HEIC/HEIF - High-efficiency format used by iOS; decoded locally and exported to your chosen format.
  • GIF - Lightweight previews and simple animations.
  • BMP - Uncompressed bitmap; mostly for legacy workflows.
  • TIFF - Print-friendly format for high-quality output and archives.
  • SVG/ICO/TGA/PSD - Available via the custom format field when supported.

Best settings for fast, clean images

Use these practical starting points when exporting images for the web:

  • Keep transparency: choose PNG or WebP with alpha for UI elements, icons, and overlays.
  • Shrink photos: use JPG or WebP with quality around 70-85 to reduce file size while keeping detail.
  • Hero images & LCP: prefer WebP for large hero images to improve Largest Contentful Paint.
  • Blog illustrations: start at JPG/WebP quality 80, then adjust while checking the preview.
  • Print-ready assets: use TIFF or high-quality PNG for assets that need to stay crisp in print.
  • Older browser support: when exporting to WebP, keep a JPG fallback in your asset pipeline.

Because every conversion happens locally, you can experiment with quality settings to find the smallest acceptable file for ecommerce product photos, portfolios, and client work.

Why this image converter is built for private, fast work

This image converter is designed for workflows where privacy and speed matter:

  • Private by default: image processing happens entirely in your browser; assets never leave your machine.
  • WebAssembly performance: a compiled core powers conversions at native-like speed after the first download.
  • No server queues: there are no remote uploads, timeouts, or rate limits.
  • Workflow-friendly: preview before and after, compare file sizes, and iterate quickly until the image is ready to ship.

Once the engine is cached, repeat conversions work without hitting the network.

Frequently asked questions

Can I convert images without uploading them to a server?

Yes. The image converter runs fully in your browser using a WebAssembly engine. Your images are processed locally and never leave your device.

Which formats can I convert to and from?

ImageMagick supports a wide range of formats, including AVIF. Load the full format list in the tool to see every input/output format available in your browser build, then pick one or type a custom extension.

Does this tool compress images or only change the format?

For formats like JPG and WebP, the Quality slider lets you control compression. Lower quality produces smaller files; higher quality preserves more detail.

What quality setting should I use for the web?

A quality between 70-85 is a good starting point for blogs, ecommerce images, and landing pages. Always check the preview to make sure details and text remain clear.

Does the image converter work offline?

After the core engine has been downloaded once and cached by your browser, repeat conversions can run without additional network requests.

Is transparency preserved during conversion?

Transparency is preserved when converting to formats that support alpha channels, such as PNG and WebP with alpha.
