Image format comparison
The right output format depends on what you need: small file size, transparency, sharp edges, or universal compatibility. Here's how the six major image formats compare.
| Format | Compression | Transparency | Typical size | Browser support | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| JPG / JPEG | Lossy (DCT) | No | Small (200-800 KB) | Universal (since 1992) | Photos, social media, email |
| PNG | Lossless (DEFLATE) | Yes (8-bit alpha) | Medium (500 KB - 5 MB) | Universal (since 1996) | Graphics, logos, screenshots |
| WebP | Lossy or lossless (VP8/VP8L) | Yes (8-bit alpha) | Small (25-35% smaller than PNG) | All modern browsers (since 2014) | Modern web (Shopify, WordPress) |
| HEIC / HEIF | Lossy (HEVC) | Yes | Very small (~50% of JPG) | Safari only — not Chrome, Firefox | iPhone photos (iOS 11+) |
| AVIF | Lossy or lossless (AV1) | Yes (8-bit alpha) | Smallest (~50% of JPG) | Chrome 85+, Firefox 93+, Safari 16+ | Cutting-edge web delivery |
| SVG | Vector (XML, gzippable) | Native | Tiny (1-50 KB) | Universal (since 2011) | Logos, icons, infographics |
//when_to_convert
When to convert images
Common real-world reasons people convert image formats — and which target format usually solves the problem.
iPhone HEIC photos to JPG for Android friends
iPhones save photos as HEIC since iOS 11. Most Android phones, Windows PCs, and email clients can't open them. Converting to JPG makes the photo viewable everywhere — keep the original HEIC for storage, send the JPG.
PNG to WebP for Shopify or WordPress page speed
WebP files are typically 25-35% smaller than equivalent PNGs while preserving transparency. Replacing legacy PNG product images with WebP improves Lighthouse scores and Core Web Vitals — directly impacting Google rankings.
TIFF scans to PDF or JPG for archival
Old document scanners and professional cameras output TIFF — huge files (5-50 MB each) that few tools open. Converting to JPG (for visual archival) or PNG (for OCR pipelines) cuts storage 80%+ and makes them universally readable.
HEIC to JPG for Outlook and Microsoft Office attachments
Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, and Microsoft Office in general can't embed or preview HEIC files. If you need to send an iPhone photo as an email attachment to a colleague on Windows, JPG is the safe universal choice.
SVG icons to PNG for GitHub README and app stores
GitHub README files don't render external SVG references reliably, and App Store / Google Play require PNG icons at specific sizes. Rasterising SVG sources to PNG gives you a fixed-resolution image that works in every embed context.

Frequently Asked Questions
- JPG vs PNG vs WebP vs AVIF — which should I use?
- Use JPG for photographs where small size matters (social media, email). Use PNG when you need transparency or lossless quality (logos, screenshots, graphics with sharp edges). Use WebP for the modern web — 25-35% smaller than PNG with both lossy and lossless modes. Use AVIF if you need maximum compression and your audience is on Chrome 85+, Firefox 93+, or Safari 16+ (smallest files but not yet universal).
- Why is my HEIC file unreadable on Windows?
- HEIC uses the HEVC codec, which Windows doesn't support natively. Microsoft requires a paid codec extension from the Microsoft Store, which most users don't install. Adobe Photoshop CS6 and earlier also can't read HEIC. Converting to JPG or PNG eliminates the compatibility problem permanently — Windows opens both natively.
- Does converting JPG to PNG improve quality?
- No — converting JPG to PNG cannot recover information that JPG already discarded during its lossy compression. The PNG will be a perfect copy of the JPG (and 3-5× larger), but no sharper. Convert to PNG only when you need transparency or want to prevent further generational loss during editing.
- What's the difference between AVIF and WebP?
- Both are modern web formats with lossy and lossless modes plus alpha transparency. AVIF (2019, AV1 codec) achieves about 20% smaller files than WebP (2010, VP8 codec) at equivalent quality, but is newer and has narrower browser support — Safari only added it in 16. WebP is the safer default for production today; AVIF is the better choice if you serve modern browsers and care about every kilobyte.
- Are my images uploaded to a server?
- No. All conversion happens locally in your browser using the Canvas API and (for HEIC) the heic2any WebAssembly decoder. Your images never leave your device — we have zero access to your files, no server storage, no logging.
- Can I convert multiple images at once?
- Yes. Drag and drop or select multiple files; they're all converted to your chosen output format in parallel. Download them individually or as a batch. Performance scales with your CPU — modern laptops handle dozens of images in seconds.
