Your iPhone saves photos as HEIC but the website only accepts JPG. Your designer sent PNG files but you need WebP for your website. A client sent WebP images but your CMS only handles JPG and PNG. You saved a logo as JPG but need PNG with transparency. Format conversion is one of the most common image tasks — and it does not require Photoshop.
Batch conversion works — select 50 images and convert them all at once. Everything processes in your browser, never uploaded to any server.
Since iOS 11, iPhones save photos as HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container). HEIC files are 50% smaller than JPG with the same quality — great for phone storage, terrible for compatibility. Windows can't always open them. Many websites don't accept them. Email recipients on Android can't view them.
The fix: convert HEIC to JPG. Zero visible quality loss, universal compatibility. If you share iPhone photos frequently, make this a habit: convert before sending.
PNGs of photographs are 3-5x larger than JPGs with no visible quality difference. A 4MB PNG photo converts to an 800KB JPG that looks identical. The only time to keep PNG: when you need transparency (logos on colored backgrounds) or pixel-perfect screenshots with text.
After converting, you can further reduce size with the Compress Image tool.
