📚 Why Convert Image Formats?
Each image format has its strengths and weaknesses. Converting between formats allows you to
optimize your images for specific uses: web, print, social media, or storage.
For example, converting a heavy PNG to WebP can reduce its size by up to 80% without visible
loss, ideal for improving your website speed.
💡 Key Fact: Choosing the right format can reduce image weight by up to 90%
without sacrificing visual quality.
🔬 Lossy vs Lossless Formats
Lossy Formats: JPG, WebP, and AVIF compress by removing imperceptible data. They
offer smaller files but original quality cannot be recovered.
Lossless Formats: PNG and GIF maintain 100% of the original quality. Ideal for
logos, screenshots, and graphics with sharp edges.
🎯 Which to choose? Photos → JPG/WebP. Logos/icons → PNG.
Animations → GIF/WebP. Max efficiency → AVIF.
📱 HEIC: The iPhone Format
Since iOS 11, Apple uses HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) as the default format for photos.
It offers better quality than JPG at half the size.
The problem: many programs and websites do not support HEIC. That's why our tool allows you to
easily convert HEIC to JPG, PNG, or WebP for universal compatibility.
🚀 AVIF: The Future of Web Images
AVIF is the most modern and efficient format, developed by the Alliance for Open Media. It offers
up to 50% better compression than WebP and supports transparency and HDR.
- Advantage: Smaller files with better quality
- Support: Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari 16+
- Ideal for: Modern websites with heavy visual content
