Convert
Read HEIC, JPG, PNG, WebP and AVIF; write JPG, PNG, WebP or AVIF, at the original resolution. Most people arrive here with HEIC files an iPhone made and something else refuses to open. Pick a format, drop one file of up to twenty-five megabytes, and metadata comes across unless you strip it. Cost is estimated before anything runs from the size of the file it writes, so the format you pick moves the price: PNG is the expensive one.
Console
convert-imageNothing is charged for uploading, and nothing runs until you press Run. Sign in to load a file and get an estimate first.
Add your image. HEIC, JPG, PNG, WebP and AVIF are all accepted, so the HEIC your phone wrote and the JPG your camera wrote both open here.
Choose the output format: JPG, PNG, WebP or AVIF. The estimate updates as you switch between them, because the target format is what decides how large the file it writes will be.
Run and download. The converted file keeps its pixel dimensions, it stays downloadable for thirty days, and a run that fails costs you nothing.
Questions
Which formats can it read and write?
In: JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF and HEIC. Out: JPG, PNG, WebP and AVIF — sixteen useful pairs. HEIC is deliberately read-only here; writing it needs a licensed HEVC encoder, and it is the format people usually come to this tool to get away from. Cost per file follows the size of the file it writes, which means the output format moves the price more than anything else does. A four-megapixel photo is about five credits as JPG, four as WebP and three as AVIF, but twenty-three as PNG, because PNG stores every pixel exactly and lands around five times larger. The largest file this tool takes, forty-eight megapixels at twenty-five megabytes, is about thirty-eight credits as JPG and about a hundred and eighty-four as PNG. Every figure is an estimate shown for your own file before anything runs. The guide at again.tools/convert walks through one pair at a time, including what each conversion costs you in transparency and animation.
Why will my HEIC not open?
HEIC stores the same picture in far fewer bytes using the HEVC codec, which carries patent licensing. Apple ships it, but most browsers, older Windows builds, printers and upload forms do not decode it. JPG is decoded by everything, which is why converting is usually faster than fighting it.
Does converting lose quality?
Some, unavoidably, when both formats are lossy — re-encoding is a second pass. We decode the source once and write JPG at quality ninety-two, which is visually indistinguishable at normal viewing size. Pixel dimensions are untouched, and a four megabyte HEIC typically lands between five and nine megabytes as JPG.
What about Live Photos?
The still frame converts. The motion clip is a separate file the still is paired with, and JPG has nowhere to put it. Multi-image HEIC containers convert the primary image only.
Are the date and location kept?
EXIF is copied across, so capture date, camera and orientation survive. GPS is copied too unless you turn it off in the console, which is worth doing before anything goes on a public listing.
