❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Converting images with our tool is simple:

• Upload your image by clicking the upload area or dragging and dropping
• Select your desired output format from the dropdown menu
• Adjust quality and resize settings if needed
• Click "Convert Image" and wait for processing
• Download your converted file automatically

The entire process typically takes just a few seconds for most files.

Our converter supports files up to 50MB in size. This accommodates:

• High-resolution photographs
• Professional camera RAW files
• Large TIFF and PSD files
• Multi-page PDF documents

If your file is larger than 50MB, consider resizing it first or using professional desktop software for extremely large files.

We prioritize your privacy and security:

• Automatic deletion: All files are automatically deleted after 1 hour
• No permanent storage: We never keep your files long-term
• Secure processing: Files are processed in isolated, encrypted environments
• No access: Our staff cannot access your uploaded files

This ensures your personal photos and documents remain completely private.

Batch conversion is currently in development. Currently, you can:

• Convert one image at a time
• Use multiple browser tabs for parallel conversions
• Bookmark specific conversion pages for quick access

We're working on a batch upload feature that will allow converting up to 10 images simultaneously with consistent settings.

Our image converter is completely free with no hidden costs:

• No registration required
• No conversion limits
• No watermarks on converted images
• No premium features or paid tiers

We support this free service through minimal, non-intrusive advertising.

JPEG and PNG serve different purposes:

Key difference: JPEG uses lossy compression (smaller files, some quality loss), while PNG uses lossless compression (larger files, perfect quality).

Yes! WebP is excellent for modern websites:

• Smaller files: 25-50% smaller than JPEG with same quality
• Better features: Supports transparency and animation
• Wide support: 95%+ of browsers support WebP
• SEO benefits: Faster loading improves search rankings

RAW files contain unprocessed data directly from camera sensors:

• Maximum quality: No compression or processing applied
• Large file sizes: Typically 20-50MB per image
• Professional editing: Maximum flexibility for post-processing
• Camera-specific: CR2 (Canon), NEF (Nikon), ARW (Sony), etc.

For sharing: Convert RAW to JPEG for social media, email, and web use. Convert to TIFF for professional printing or archival storage.

AVIF is the newest image format offering cutting-edge compression:

• Superior compression: 50%+ smaller than JPEG
• Advanced features: HDR support, wide color gamuts
• Growing support: 85% of modern browsers
• Future-proof: Designed to replace JPEG long-term

Current recommendation: Great for cutting-edge websites, but include fallbacks for older browsers. Perfect for Progressive Web Apps and modern web development.

HEIC is Apple's modern photo format used by iOS devices since iOS 11:

• Better than JPEG: 50% smaller files with same quality
• Limited compatibility: Not supported by older devices/software
• Easy conversion: Simply upload HEIC and convert to JPEG/PNG

Quality settings depend on your intended use:

• 95-100%: Professional printing, archival storage
• 85-95%: High-quality web images, portfolios
• 75-85%: Standard web use, social media
• 60-75%: Email attachments, quick sharing
• Below 60%: Thumbnails, very small previews

Default recommendation: 95% provides excellent quality with reasonable file sizes for most uses.

Resizing can significantly improve performance and reduce storage:

• Web use: Resize to maximum display size needed
• Social media: Follow platform-specific size recommendations
• Email: Resize to 50-75% for faster sending
• Storage: Smaller files save space and bandwidth

Quality impact depends on the conversion type:

• Lossless to lossless: No quality loss (PNG to TIFF)
• Lossy to lossless: No additional loss (JPEG to PNG)
• Lossless to lossy: Some quality loss (PNG to JPEG)
• Lossy to lossy: Additional compression loss (JPEG to WebP)

Best practice: Convert from original files when possible, and use high quality settings for important images.

Our optimization presets adjust multiple parameters:

• Quality: Maximum image fidelity, larger files
• Balanced: Best compromise between quality and size
• Compression: Prioritizes smaller file sizes
• Web: Optimized for fast online loading
• Print: High DPI settings for physical printing

Choose based on your primary use case for optimal results.

Several factors affect conversion speed:

• File size: Large files (>10MB) take longer to process
• Format complexity: RAW files require more processing
• Internet speed: Upload/download speeds affect total time
• Server load: Peak times may cause delays

Try these troubleshooting steps:

• Check file format: Ensure your file is a supported image format
• File size: Verify the file is under 50MB
• File corruption: Try opening the file in other programs first
• Browser issues: Try a different browser or clear cache
• Network problems: Check your internet connection

If problems persist, contact us with details about your file and error message.

Our converter has limitations with problematic files:

• Password-protected: Cannot process encrypted or protected files
• Corrupted files: May fail to convert or produce invalid output
• Proprietary formats: Some specialized formats not supported
• Partial files: Incomplete downloads will likely fail

Solution: Ensure files are complete, unprotected, and in valid format before conversion.

Visual differences can occur due to:

• Color profiles: Different formats handle color spaces differently
• Compression: Lossy formats may alter fine details
• Transparency: Converting transparent images to non-transparent formats
• Metadata loss: Some embedded information may be stripped

Tip: For critical color accuracy, use lossless formats like PNG or TIFF and color-managed viewing applications.

Our converter works on all modern browsers:

• Recommended: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge (latest versions)
• Mobile: iOS Safari, Chrome Mobile, Samsung Internet
• Features: Drag-and-drop works on desktop browsers
• JavaScript required: Enable JavaScript for full functionality

For best experience, keep your browser updated and enable JavaScript.

EXIF data handling varies by format and settings:

• Preserved: JPEG to JPEG conversions typically maintain EXIF
• Limited support: PNG and WebP have limited metadata support
• Professional formats: TIFF preserves extensive metadata
• Privacy: Some users prefer EXIF removal for privacy

For maximum metadata preservation, use TIFF format for archival purposes.

Our converter helps optimize for social media:

• Instagram: Square (1080x1080) or vertical (1080x1350) JPEG
• Facebook: 1200x630 for posts, 1200x1200 for profile
• Twitter: 1200x675 for posts, PNG for logos with transparency
• LinkedIn: 1200x627 for articles, 400x400 for profile

Use the resize option to match platform requirements and JPEG format for photos, PNG for graphics.

Different mediums require different optimizations:

While native batch processing is in development, you can:

• Multiple tabs: Open several browser tabs for parallel conversions
• Consistent settings: Use the same quality/format settings for uniformity
• Desktop tools: For 100+ images, consider desktop software
• Upcoming feature: Batch upload for up to 10 files simultaneously

For large-scale conversions, desktop tools like IrfanView or ImageMagick may be more efficient.
