Image converter help

The Image Converter changes image files between common formats locally in your browser, with batch rows, per-file output choices, and ZIP downloads for completed conversions.

Supported Inputs And Outputs

The converter accepts common browser-readable raster images plus SVG, PDF, TIFF, HEIC/HEIF, and other formats where local decoding is available. Output options include PNG, JPEG, WebP, AVIF, PDF, ICO, static GIF, SVG, and TIFF.

Local Processing And Privacy

PixTools does not require an account and does not upload selected files to a PixTools server for conversion. Your browser handles decoding, preview preparation, conversion, and download creation.

Batch Behavior

Add up to 10 files, choose one global output format, or override the output for individual rows. Convert one file at a time or queue all supported rows, then download each result or all completed results as a ZIP.

PDF, SVG, TIFF, HEIC, And GIF Limits

PDF input is decoded page by page where local PDF support is available. Multi-page PDF output downloads as a ZIP of image files. Each PDF can be up to 25 MiB and 20 pages, with 48 million rendered pixels total. Pages render at up to twice their base size, capped at about 2,200 pixels on the longest side. These upper bounds do not guarantee that every PDF will convert; complex or unsupported files may still fail.

PDF text and vectors become pixels. PDF to PNG losslessly stores those rendered pixels, not arbitrary original PDF detail. SVG input can be preserved as SVG, but raster-to-SVG output embeds a raster image inside an SVG file rather than tracing vector paths.

Only the first TIFF page or image is converted; remaining pages are not exported. HEIC/HEIF files are decoded locally when the browser and bundled decoders can read them. GIF input and GIF output are static images from the decoded frame, not animated exports. For iPhone photos, the HEIC to JPG page opens the converter with JPEG selected first.

Troubleshooting

If a row is unsupported, try PNG, JPEG, or WebP output, reduce very large files, refresh the page, or use a current version of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari. Some formats use native Canvas export, while AVIF uses a browser-local encoder. Input decoding and successful conversion still depend on the browser, file, and available resources.

Use Image Compressor to reduce file size without changing dimensions, Image Resizer when dimensions need to change, Image Upscaler when you need larger pixel dimensions, or Image To Text when the goal is OCR rather than a new image format.

FAQ

Does PixTools upload my files?

No. Image Converter prepares supported files locally in your browser and does not upload selected files to a PixTools server for conversion.

How does PDF conversion work?

PDF input is decoded locally when possible. Each page becomes a pixel image, and multi-page PDF conversions download as a ZIP file. PDF files are subject to file, page, rendered-pixel, and page-size caps described on this page.

Does SVG output create vector artwork?

Raster-to-SVG output embeds the raster image inside an SVG wrapper. It does not trace the image into editable vector paths.

Can I report an unsupported conversion?

Yes. Send the browser, source format, selected output, and what happened through the contact page. Do not send private files unless you are comfortable sharing them. For image handling details, read the privacy page.
