Image format comparison table
AVIF and HEIC give the smallest files at around half the size of JPG. WebP lands at roughly 0.65–0.75× JPG while supporting transparency. PNG is lossless but 5–10× larger than JPG for photographs. Only JPG and BMP lack usable transparency.
| Format | Year | Compression | Transparency | Animation | Typical size |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| JPG | 1992 | Lossy | No | No | The baseline — roughly 1× by definition |
| PNG | 1996 | Lossless | Yes | Yes | Roughly 5–10× a JPG for photographs; often smaller for flat graphics |
| WebP | 2010 | Lossy or lossless | Yes | Yes | Roughly 0.65–0.75× a JPG at matched quality |
| GIF | 1987 | Lossless | Yes | Yes | Often 5–20× a comparable WebP animation |
| BMP | 1990 | Uncompressed | Yes | No | Frequently 20–50× a JPG of the same image |
| TIFF | 1986 | Lossless | Yes | No | Commonly 10–30× a JPG |
| ICO | 1985 | Container | Yes | No | Depends entirely on how many sizes are included |
| SVG | 2001 | Vector (XML) | Yes | Yes | Often under 1/10th of a raster icon, but unbounded for complex art |
| HEIC | 2015 | Lossy | Yes | Yes | Roughly 0.5× a JPG at matched quality |
| AVIF | 2019 | Lossy or lossless | Yes | Yes | Roughly 0.5× a JPG at matched quality |
| 1993 | Container | Yes | No | Approximately the size of the embedded images, plus a small overhead |
Which formats can be read and which can be written?
This tool reads 11 formats and writes 7. GIF, TIFF and SVG can be opened but not created, because producing a genuine animated GIF, a multi-page TIFF or true traced vector SVG requires capabilities a browser does not have.
| Format | Can read | Can write | MIME type |
|---|---|---|---|
| JPG | Yes | Yes | image/jpeg |
| PNG | Yes | Yes | image/png |
| WebP | Yes | Yes | image/webp |
| GIF | Yes | No | image/gif |
| BMP | Yes | Yes | image/bmp |
| TIFF | Yes | No | image/tiff |
| ICO | Yes | Yes | image/x-icon |
| SVG | Yes | No | image/svg+xml |
| HEIC | Yes | No | image/heic |
| AVIF | Yes | Yes | image/avif |
| Yes | Yes | application/pdf |
Conversions by source format
Every conversion below has a dedicated page covering how it works, what changes, and what to watch out for.
Convert from JPG
Joint Photographic Experts Group, introduced 1992. The universal photographic format. Small files, lossy compression, no transparency — supported by every device and every piece of software ever made.
Best for: Photographs and any image with smooth colour gradients, where a small file matters more than pixel-perfect fidelity.
Convert from PNG
Portable Network Graphics, introduced 1996. Lossless compression with full alpha transparency. The right choice for logos, screenshots, diagrams and any graphic with sharp edges or flat colour.
Best for: Logos, screenshots, diagrams, icons and any graphic with sharp edges, flat colour or transparency.
Convert from WebP
Web Picture format, introduced 2010. Google's modern web format. Typically 25–35% smaller than JPG at the same visual quality, with transparency and animation support built in.
Best for: Images shipped on a website, where you want JPG-like size with PNG-like transparency.
Convert from GIF
Graphics Interchange Format, introduced 1987. The classic animated format, limited to 256 colours per frame. Widely readable but long since outclassed by WebP and AVIF for file size.
Best for: Short looping animations where universal playback matters more than file size or colour fidelity.
Convert from BMP
Bitmap Image File / Device Independent Bitmap, introduced 1990. An uncompressed Windows bitmap. Enormous files, but dead simple — still used by some legacy Windows and embedded software.
Best for: Legacy Windows software and embedded systems that need raw pixel data with no decoding step.
Convert from TIFF
Tagged Image File Format, introduced 1986. The print and archival standard. High fidelity, optional layers, and file sizes to match — most browsers cannot display it without conversion.
Best for: Print production, archival masters and scanned documents, where fidelity outranks file size.
Convert from ICO
Windows Icon, introduced 1985. The Windows and favicon format. Holds several square sizes in one file; 16×16, 32×32 and 48×48 are the sizes browsers actually reach for.
Best for: Website favicons and Windows application icons, where several sizes must live in one file.
Convert from SVG
Scalable Vector Graphics, introduced 2001. Vector graphics described as XML — infinitely scalable. Converting to SVG requires tracing, so this tool rasterises SVG out to pixel formats only.
Best for: Logos, icons and illustrations that must stay razor-sharp at every size, from favicon to billboard.
Convert from HEIC
High Efficiency Image Container (HEIF), introduced 2015. Apple's default camera format since iOS 11. Roughly half the size of JPG at equal quality, but awkward outside the Apple ecosystem.
Best for: Storage on Apple devices, where roughly half the file size of JPG at the same quality adds up fast.
Convert from AVIF
AV1 Image File Format, introduced 2019. The AV1-based successor to WebP. Best-in-class compression — often half the size of JPG — with wide, modern browser support.
Best for: Squeezing web images as small as they will go, when you can serve a fallback to older browsers.
Convert from PDF
Portable Document Format, introduced 1993. A page-based document format. Handy for bundling scans, receipts or photo sets into one file that opens identically everywhere.
Best for: Bundling several images into one page-based file for sending, printing or archiving.
