Convert images between formats
Change a picture from one format to another, or put pictures into a PDF. Pick the page named for your two formats, or use the one converter that does them all.
Three reasons to convert
Almost every conversion comes down to one of three reasons. Something will not open the file, so it has to become a JPG. The file is too heavy for a web page, so it should become a WebP. Or the picture has a transparent background that must survive, so it has to stay a PNG or become a WebP. If you know which of those you are in, you know which format to ask for.
The pages below are the same converter set up in advance for one pair of formats, with the setting that matters for that pair in front of you: the background colour when a transparent PNG becomes a JPG, the quality when a photo becomes a WebP. Which formats your browser can write is checked when the page loads, and one it cannot write is switched off, not faked.
Two limits apply to all of them. An animated GIF or WebP is converted as its first frame only, and the colour profile and EXIF data of the original are not carried into the new file. A photo that only has an unfamiliar extension, such as .jpeg or .jfif, is a different case: the two renaming pages hand it back unchanged, with no loss at all.
To JPG, for anything that must open everywhere
JPG is the format every form, printer and older program accepts. A transparent background becomes a colour you choose, because JPG cannot hold transparency.
Image to JPG Converter
JPG is the one format every form, printer and old program accepts.
PNG to JPG
Turn oversized PNGs into compact JPEGs, and decide what colour replaces the transparent areas.
WebP to JPG
Downloaded a .webp and something refuses to open it?
AVIF to JPG Converter
AVIF files are small and sharp, and a lot of software still cannot open them.
JPEG to JPG Converter
JPEG and JPG are the same format with two spellings.
JFIF to JPG Converter
A .jfif file is a JPEG under an unfamiliar name.
To WebP or PNG, for the web and for editing
WebP gives the smallest file for a web page and keeps transparency. PNG is for a picture you will go on editing, or one with sharp edges and flat colour.

The modern web format: smaller than JPEG, supports transparency like PNG, and works in every current brow…
JPG to WebP
The single easiest win for page speed: same picture, roughly a third fewer bytes.
PNG to WebP
Keep the transparency and lose most of the bytes.
JPG to PNG
Move a photo into a lossless container so further edits do not stack up JPEG artefacts.
WebP to PNG
Lossless PNG output with the alpha channel intact, ready for editors that will not touch WebP.
Any format to any other
One page with every direction, for when you are not sure which you need or have a mixed batch.
Pictures into a PDF
One picture to a page, in the order you set. The pages with a size in their name fit the PDF under that limit. They make new PDFs from pictures; they do not open or edit an existing PDF.
Image to PDF
Put one picture or twenty into a single PDF, one to a page, in the order you choose.
JPG to PDF under 50 KB
Turn a photo or a scan into a PDF no larger than 50 KB.
JPG to PDF under 100 KB
Make a PDF of 100 KB or less from a photo or a scan.
JPG to PDF under 200 KB
Turn one or two pictures into a PDF that stays under 200 KB.
JPG to PDF under 500 KB
Put a handful of pictures into one PDF of 500 KB or less.
JPG to PDF under 1 MB
Make one PDF of up to 1 MB from your photos or scans.
JPG to PDF under 2 MB
Combine your photos or scans into one PDF of 2 MB or less, with room for a whole document at a quality th…

Frequently asked questions
Which format should I convert my image to?
JPG if it has to open anywhere or go on a form. WebP if it is going on a website. PNG if it has transparency or text and you will edit it again. The guide to image formats goes through the choice in detail.
Does converting an image lose quality?
Converting to PNG does not: PNG stores every pixel exactly. Converting to JPG or WebP does, slightly at the default settings and more as you lower the quality. Converting a JPG to PNG does not bring back detail the JPG had already lost; it only stops more being lost in later edits.
Can I convert HEIC, RAW or TIFF files?
Only if your browser can open them, and most cannot. These pages read what the browser itself can decode: JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, SVG and, in current browsers, AVIF. A HEIC photo from an iPhone usually has to be exported as a JPG on the phone first.
Can I convert several images at once?
Yes, up to 20 at a time on the converter pages, and the results download together as a ZIP. Each file may be up to 50 MB.
