Image Converter
Online Image Converter — Quick 8‑Step Guide
1) Core idea
Convert a single image in your browser to another image format (JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, BMP, GIF, TIFF) or to a document (PDF, DOC/DOCX, TXT via OCR). No uploads, no installs — processing happens on your device.
2) The flow
- Upload an image (drag & drop or click).
- Pick an output: an image format or a document format.
- For TXT, choose OCR language if needed.
- Press Convert, then Download the result.
3) Sanity checks
- Large images use more memory/time; keep your browser tab active.
- EXIF/metadata may be removed during conversion.
- HEIC is handled client‑side; PDF/DOCX are generated in‑browser; OCR uses your device.
- Animated GIFs convert to a single static frame when targeting non‑animated formats.
4) Smart shortcuts
- Need smaller files? Convert photos to WebP or JPG; for crisp UI/graphics, use PNG.
- Before PDF/DOCX, downscale very large images for lighter documents.
- For text extraction, crop to the text region first, then run OCR (TXT).
5) Common pitfalls
- Transparency is lost when converting to JPG/PDF; backgrounds become solid.
- OCR accuracy depends on image clarity, contrast, and language choice.
- Very old browsers may not fully support WebP/HEIC.
6) Micro examples
- PNG logo → PNG (keeps transparency) or JPG (fills background solid).
- Phone HEIC photo → JPG/WebP for sharing and smaller size.
- Scan to PDF for submissions; to TXT for editable text via OCR.
7) Mini FAQ
- Private? Yes — conversions run locally in your browser.
- Multiple outputs? Run separate conversions for each target type.
- Animated inputs? Output is a static image unless the chosen format supports animation and the tool implements it.
8) Action tip
Choose the single output you need right now (image or document), convert, download, and repeat if you need another format.
