Raster vs. vector
JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, and HEIC store pixels. SVG can describe scalable shapes, but converting a photo to SVG does not magically restore original vector artwork.
Format Converters
Convert HEIC, AVIF, WebP, JPG, PNG, SVG, ICO, PDF and Base64 files locally in your browser.
Quick decision guide
Choose a format from the destination backward
A file extension is not just a label: the format controls compatibility, transparency, compression, and what the receiving app can decode. Start with the requirement of the site, app, printer, or developer workflow that will receive the file.
| What you need | Start with | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Open an iPhone photo in software that rejects HEIC | HEIC to JPG | JPG is the safer delivery copy for broad photo compatibility. |
| Create a smaller web-ready photo | WebP Converter | Use WebP when the destination accepts it and you want a modern web format. |
| Convert to or from AVIF | AVIF Converter | Use this when AVIF is explicitly supported or required by the destination. |
| Switch between a photo format and transparent PNG | JPG to PNG Converter | Choose PNG for transparency or sharp graphic edges; choose JPG for ordinary photos. |
| Create an SVG deliverable from a raster image | Image to SVG | Create a standalone SVG or an editable color-block interpretation. |
| Turn an SVG into fixed pixels | SVG to PNG | Choose exact output dimensions when an app needs a transparent PNG. |
| Package images into a document | Image to PDF | PDF is for document sharing or printing, not a lighter replacement for a web image. |
| Make a browser or desktop icon | Image to ICO | Package common square icon sizes into one ICO file. |
| Embed a small image in code | Image to Base64 | Produce text for a data URL or a small HTML, CSS, JSON, or test fixture. |

How the key settings affect the result
These terms describe different parts of the job. Knowing which one the destination checks prevents unnecessary quality loss.
Transparency
PNG, WebP, AVIF, and SVG can represent transparency in suitable workflows. JPG cannot, so transparent areas need a background when exported as JPG.
Lossy vs. lossless
Lossy encoders trade some image detail for fewer bytes. Lossless formats preserve decoded pixel values but can be much larger for photographs.
Dimensions vs. encoding
Format conversion and pixel resizing solve different problems. A 4000×3000 conversion can still be 4000×3000; resize separately if the destination limits width or height.
Compatibility
The newest or smallest format is not always the right delivery format. The receiving browser, editor, CMS, email client, or form decides what is acceptable.
Metadata and animation
Conversion may not preserve EXIF, color profiles, layers, or animation. Keep the original when those properties matter and verify the exported copy.
What you can do in the browser
These converters decode the selected file and build the result in the browser. That is suitable for quick private conversions without sending the image to imgrove, but decoding support and available memory still depend on the device and browser.
- Convert supported inputs into a more compatible delivery format.
- Create PNG, JPG, WebP, AVIF, ICO, PDF, SVG, or Base64 outputs with the relevant tool.
- Preview the converted result before downloading it.
- Work from a copy while keeping the camera or design original unchanged.
Common failure cases
Check these before downloading or submitting the result.
Renaming the extension
Changing .heic to .jpg does not re-encode the file, so the receiver still sees HEIC data.
Losing transparency
A JPG export cannot keep an alpha channel. Choose a background deliberately or keep a transparent format.
Expecting conversion to resize
A different encoding can reduce bytes, but it does not guarantee a required pixel width, height, or aspect ratio.
Assuming every property survives
Animation, metadata, embedded profiles, and editable layers may be flattened or omitted. Inspect the output that matters, not only the filename.
Unsupported decoding
An older browser may not decode a newer camera or web format. Try an updated browser or create a compatible copy on the source device.
Complete workflows
Use the tools as a sequence when the destination has more than one requirement.
iPhone photo for a form
- Keep the HEIC original.
- Create a JPG copy with HEIC to JPG.
- If the form also limits pixels or KB, resize and compress the JPG, then check it before upload.
Transparent logo for a website
- Keep the SVG master if one exists.
- Create PNG only when the destination cannot use SVG.
- Resize to the rendered dimensions and optimize the delivery copy without discarding the master.
Web photo delivery
- Choose WebP or AVIF only when the destination supports it.
- Resize oversized camera pixels before chasing a low file size.
- Compare the final output at normal viewing size and retain a compatible fallback if required.
