Convert to

HEIC/HEIF (iPhone), TIFF and PSD are recognised too. This browser cannot create AVIF; choose JPG, PNG or WebP. AVIF: smaller than JPG and WebP at the same quality, and every current browser displays it; older photo programs and upload forms do not support it yet. Creating it takes longer than JPG or WebP. An AVIF stores no resolution and no photo data. This browser cannot create JPEG XL; choose another format. JPEG XL: often smaller than JPG and WebP at the same quality, and suited to archiving and photo work. Note: Chrome, Edge and Firefox do not (yet) display it, Safari does; so do not share a JPEG XL as an ordinary photo. A JPEG XL made here stores no resolution and no photo data. PDF (vector): an SVG stays lines and shapes, sharp at any size; for a printer or a drawing in a report. Whatever the conversion does not carry over (such as filters, masks or scripts) is listed after converting. Text uses the standard PDF fonts. A photo or other image cannot become a vector: use JPG to PDF for that. GIF: at most 256 colours. A logo or drawing comes back exactly; a photo gets a fine dither. Transparency is on or off: anything less than half opaque becomes transparent, a soft edge gets white (or the chosen background). A GIF does not store a resolution.

Resolution in the file

Background 'As it is': PNG and WebP keep their transparency, a JPG gets white. With a colour, transparent areas are filled with it, in every format. The resolution is stored in the file (PNG and JPG), so Word, InDesign or a printer picks the right size in centimetres; the pixels do not change. An SVG is rasterised at that resolution.

Photo details (for JPG) Keep date, camera and settings Also the location (GPS) That way a photo library puts the JPG on the day it was taken. Only a fixed list is kept (date, camera, lens and exposure); the location only with the second checkbox. Formats other than JPG get no details.

Size of an SVG

Own size: the width and height stated in the SVG (1×); 2× and 3× are for sharp screens. With a width, the height follows from the aspect ratio. The size then sets the pixels, and a chosen resolution only goes into the file as a number. At most 8192 px per side.

Frequently asked questions

What is a HEIC file?

HEIC (or HEIF) is the format in which an iPhone or iPad saves photos by default. It saves space, but many programs, websites and upload forms cannot open it. A JPG opens almost everywhere.

Do the colours stay the same?

Yes. An iPhone photo is usually in the Display P3 colour space; those colours are converted to sRGB, the colour space of a normal JPG, so the photo does not look washed out. If a colour profile cannot be converted reliably, the tool says so.

Can I also convert to PNG or WebP?

Yes. Under Convert to, choose for example PNG (lossless, with transparency) or WebP (small, for websites). AVIF and JPEG XL are only available if your browser can create them; otherwise the tool tells you.

Is my file uploaded?

No. The work happens in your own browser, on your computer or phone: your file is not sent to our server. Only if you then choose to send the result as a download link is it uploaded.

Is it free?

Yes, up to a limit. Without an account you can do 3 operations per category (all PDF tools count together, for example) in a session, and with a free account 10 per category. If you need more, you need a subscription. See the prices.

Can I send the result straight away?

Yes. After the operation you can send the result as a download link, even if it is too large for an email attachment. To do so, sign in or create a free account.
