How to use this tool
Follow these simple steps:
- 1) Drag and drop one or more images (up to your current batch limit, ensuring they are one of the supported formats and within the size/dimension limits) into the designated drag-area.
- 1b) Alternatively, click on the upload icon within the drag-area to select images from your local computer.
- 2) If any errors occur with your files, an error message will explain the issue. Otherwise, proceed to the next step.
- 3) Once your files are accepted, an option to select the desired output file type (extension) will appear. (A brief visual effect where files are randomly displayed on the screen may occur; this is purely an effect.)
- 4) Choose the target file format you want to convert your image(s) to from the provided list.
- 5) After selecting the output format, click the large "Submit" button. Please wait a few moments while the files are uploaded. Upload time can vary depending on your internet connection speed. Important: Do NOT refresh or leave the page during the upload process, as this will cancel your conversion job.
- 6) After a successful upload, a confirmation window will appear, indicating your task is queued:
- 7) From this window, you can either add more files for conversion by clicking the "New task" button or check the status of your uploads by clicking the "My Files" button.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I skip the queue or make it faster?
No. To ensure fairness for all users, we utilize a standard queue system, and no preferential treatment or paid acceleration options are offered for this tool.
I made a mistake and uploaded the wrong image. What can I do?
If you've uploaded an image incorrectly, you can remove it. Navigate to the "My Files" section and click the "trash bin" icon next to the relevant file to remove it from the queue.
Do I need to stay online on the website while my images are being converted?
No. The conversion process occurs entirely on our servers, so you do not need to keep the website open or remain online after your job is successfully queued.
How long are my converted files kept on the server?
Your converted image files are available for download for 24 hours from the time of their successful processing. Due to limited server disk capacity, we cannot store files beyond this period.
Can anyone else see or access my images?
Absolutely not. Your images are protected by security measures, and only you can access them through your session. These files are not visible even to site administrators. However, if you choose to share the download link with someone, they will also be able to download the files.
Will I have copyright for the converted images?
Yes. If you hold the copyright and commercial rights for the original images, you retain those rights for the converted versions. You are free to use these converted images, including for commercial purposes, under the same terms as your original files.
Why Convert Between Image Formats?
Converting images from one file type to another can be useful for various reasons:
- Software Compatibility: Ensuring your image can be opened or processed by specific software that may only support certain formats.
- Web Optimization: Converting to formats like WebP or AVIF can significantly reduce file sizes, making images more browser-friendly and improving website loading times.
- Print on Demand (PoD) Preparation: Platforms often require specific formats like PNG or JPG for product uploads.
- Broad Compatibility: Formats like PNG and JPG are widely supported across most devices and applications.
- Preparing for Other Tools: For example, if you have a .webp image and want to change its DPI metadata (which .webp doesn't support), you could first convert it to .jpeg or .jpg using this tool, and then use our Online DPI Enhancer.
- And many other specific use cases.
