Convert Images Free — JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF in Your Browser

Convert images between JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, BMP, and more — instantly in your browser. No uploads, no waiting, completely private.

The right image format can make a significant difference in file size, quality, and compatibility. SimpleTools Convert Image lets you convert between any major image format instantly, all inside your browser — no uploads, no accounts.

Why Image Format Conversion Matters

Different situations call for different formats:

  • JPEG — photographs, the universal standard, small file sizes
  • PNG — graphics, logos, anything needing transparency or lossless quality
  • WebP — modern web format, 25–35% smaller than JPEG at similar quality
  • AVIF — next-gen format, even smaller than WebP, growing browser support
  • GIF — animated images, limited to 256 colours
  • BMP — uncompressed bitmap, used in some Windows workflows
  • TIFF — archival and print-quality format

Common conversion scenarios:

  • Screenshot (PNG) → JPEG: Reduce a 2 MB screenshot to 150 KB for email
  • JPEG → WebP: Modernise images for web delivery to improve page speed
  • GIF → MP4: (handled by video tools) Convert animations to efficient video
  • HEIC → JPEG: Make iPhone photos viewable on Windows/Android

The Privacy Case for Browser-Based Conversion

Images can contain sensitive information — documents, whiteboards, ID photos, designs under NDA. Uploading them to an online converter creates unnecessary exposure.

SimpleTools Convert Image:

Nothing is uploaded — conversion uses the browser’s built-in Canvas and codec APIs
Works offline — convert images without an internet connection
Batch conversion — convert multiple images in one go
No watermarks — the converted image is clean and ready to use
No file size restrictions from server quotas

How It Works

Image conversion in the browser uses the Canvas API:

  1. The source image is loaded into an <img> element
  2. The image is drawn onto an offscreen Canvas
  3. canvas.toBlob('image/webp', quality) (or image/jpeg, image/png, etc.) exports the canvas in the target format
  4. The resulting Blob is converted to a download link — all in memory, in your browser tab

AVIF conversion may use a WebAssembly encoder if the browser’s native encoder doesn’t support it yet.
