- Save the converted files.
Good for
- iPhone HEIC photos that won't open on a Windows PC.
- A screenshot saved as PNG when a form only accepts JPG.
- WebP images saved from the web that another app can't open.
Limits
- Reads JPEG, PNG, SVG, WebP and most HEIC/HEIF photos. Some HEIC variants can't be opened; you'll be told when that happens.
- Animated GIF, WebP or PNG files aren't supported.
- For HEIC files with several images, only the main photo is saved.
- Whether WebP can be saved depends on your browser.
- AI files hold your image as pixels on a page of its size. Transparent PNG and WebP images stay transparent; others go in as JPEG at the quality you choose.
- SVG output traces your image into a limited number of colors. Logos and drawings with flat colors work best; photos lose detail and can make very large files. SVG files you open are drawn at their own size, at least 1,024 pixels on the longer side.
Questions
- Why do iPhone photos end in .heic?
- Recent iPhones save photos as HEIC to use less space. Many websites and Windows apps don't accept it, so converting to JPG is the common fix.
- What happens to transparent areas when I save as JPG?
- JPG can't store transparency. You choose a background color, and transparent areas are filled with it.
- Will the .ai file open in Adobe Illustrator?
- Yes. It's a PDF-compatible .ai, the kind Illustrator has used since version 9, so it also opens in Inkscape, Affinity Designer, CorelDRAW and PDF viewers. Your image is placed as one picture; to get editable shapes, use Image Trace in Illustrator.
- Is the SVG a real vector file?
- Yes. Your image is traced into filled shapes that you can scale and edit in Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma. Tracing works best on logos, icons and drawings with flat colors; choose Detailed for more colors and finer edges.
- Are my photos uploaded?
- No. Your files are processed on your device and are not uploaded.
