Image size cheat sheet
The dimensions that matter most: website hero images around 1920 px wide, blog images 1200 px, Instagram posts 1080×1080, stories 1080×1920, YouTube thumbnails 1280×720, and marketplace product photos at least 2000 px on the longest side for zoom. The Resizer includes these as one-tap presets.
Which format should you use?
JPG for photos almost everywhere, PNG when you need transparency or crisp text and logos, WebP when you want the smallest modern file and your platform accepts it. Our guide WebP vs JPG walks through the trade-offs with real examples from these tools.

How to compress an image
- Add your imageTap the box above and pick a JPG, PNG, or WebP file, or drag it in from your computer.
- Pick a format and qualityKeep the original format, or switch photos to JPG/WebP for the biggest savings. Start at 80% quality.
- Optionally set a target sizeNeed a file under 100 KB or 200 KB? Type the limit and the tool will find the highest quality that fits.
- Compress and compareCheck the real before/after sizes and preview. If quality looks poor, raise the slider and compress again.
- DownloadSave the result with the download button. Your original file stays untouched.
Supported formats & honest limitations
Works with: JPG/JPEG, PNG, and WebP input, up to 25 MB per file. Output can be JPG, PNG, or WebP, and dimensions are always preserved — compression never stretches or crops your image.
Lossy vs lossless: JPG and WebP compression is lossy — it permanently discards some image detail to save space. At moderate quality (75–85%) the difference is usually invisible in photos, but fine text, logos, and sharp edges can develop fuzziness (“artifacts”). PNG output is lossless, so it keeps every pixel — but re-saving a PNG rarely makes it much smaller, and converting a photo to PNG usually makes the file bigger. We show you the true result either way, including when a file grows.
Browser limits: because everything runs on your device, very large photos on older phones can be slow, and animated GIFs are not supported (a GIF would lose its animation). For a file that must hit an exact byte limit for a government or exam form, use the target-size option and always keep your original as a backup.
A practical example
A phone photo saved as a 4.2 MB JPG typically compresses to roughly 600 KB–1 MB at 80% quality as JPG, and often 20–40% smaller again as WebP — with no visible change at normal viewing sizes. Exact results depend on the image: detailed scenes (grass, crowds, confetti) compress less than smooth ones (skies, studio backdrops). That is why this tool reports your actual numbers instead of promising a percentage.
Frequently asked questions
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. The compression happens entirely inside your browser tab using the Canvas technology built into your device. Nothing is transmitted anywhere, which is also why the tool works offline once the page has loaded.
Will compressing ruin my photo's quality?
It depends on the quality setting. At 80% most photos look identical to the original on screen. Dropping below ~60% makes softness and blocky artifacts increasingly visible, especially around text and edges. Always preview before downloading, and keep your original file.
Why did my PNG get bigger instead of smaller?
PNG is a lossless format designed for graphics, not photos. Re-encoding a photo as PNG stores every pixel exactly, which is usually far larger than a JPG. For photos, choose JPG or WebP output. For logos and screenshots with text, PNG is the right choice and small savings are normal.
How do I compress an image to exactly 100 KB or less?
Type 100 in the “target a maximum size” box, choose JPG or WebP output, and press Compress. The tool reduces quality step by step until the file fits, and it will warn you if the target isn't reachable at usable quality — in that case, resize the image smaller first with the Image Resizer, then compress.
Is there a file size or usage limit?
Files up to 25 MB are accepted, and there is no daily usage limit, no watermark, and no account. The only limit is your device's memory and speed.

Presets set both fields. If your image has a different shape and the lock is off, it will be stretched to fit exactly — unlock only when a form demands exact dimensions.
Resizing to a smaller size also reduces file size. Enlarging beyond the original dimensions is allowed, but it cannot add detail — the result may look soft.

How to resize an image
- Add your imageChoose a JPG, PNG, or WebP file. Its current dimensions appear automatically.
- Type the new widthWith the aspect-ratio lock on, the height updates itself so the image never distorts.
- Or pick a presetUse the one-tap sizes for Instagram, YouTube, stories, and marketplaces.
- Resize and previewConfirm the new dimensions and file size in the result panel.
- DownloadSave the resized copy. Your original stays exactly as it was.
Supported formats & honest limitations
Works with: JPG/JPEG, PNG, and WebP input up to 25 MB; output as JPG, PNG, or WebP. Output dimensions from 1 px up to 12,000 px per side (browser memory may limit very large outputs on older phones).
Aspect ratio: resizing changes dimensions, not the picture's shape — with the lock on, entering a width recalculates the matching height. If a form demands exact dimensions that don't match your image's shape (for example, a square photo from a wide shot), unlock the lock only if slight stretching is acceptable; cropping first usually looks better, and a cropper is on our planned tools list.
Enlarging: you can resize up, but software cannot invent detail that was never captured. An enlarged image will look softer than a photo originally taken at that size.
A practical example
A 4000×3000 phone photo resized to 1200×900 for a blog post keeps the same shape (both are 4:3), drops from several megabytes to a few hundred kilobytes, and loads noticeably faster — while still looking sharp on screens, since most blog layouts never display it wider than about 800–1200 px anyway.
Frequently asked questions
What does “lock aspect ratio” mean?
Aspect ratio is the relationship between width and height (for example 4:3 or 16:9). With the lock on, changing the width automatically adjusts the height to keep the same shape, so people and objects never look stretched or squashed.
Can I resize an image without losing quality?
Making an image smaller always discards pixels, but at the sizes images are actually displayed, the result normally looks identical. Choose PNG output for graphics with text, and avoid resizing the same file down repeatedly — always start from your original.
What size should I use for Instagram, YouTube, or a shop listing?
Instagram posts: 1080×1080 (square) or 1080×1350 (portrait). Stories and Reels: 1080×1920. YouTube thumbnails: 1280×720. Marketplaces like eBay and Etsy recommend at least 2000 px on the longest side so buyers can zoom. All of these are presets in the tool above.
Why is my resized file still large?
File size depends on format and content as well as dimensions. A large PNG photo can stay heavy even when resized — run it through the Image Compressor afterwards, or choose JPG/WebP output here.
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. Resizing is done by your browser on your device. Nothing is sent to a server.

How to convert an image
- Add your imageChoose a JPG, PNG, or WebP file — its current format is shown automatically.
- Choose the target formatJPG for maximum compatibility, PNG for transparency and sharp graphics, WebP for the smallest modern files.
- Set quality (JPG/WebP)90% is a safe default that keeps files clean and reasonably small.
- Convert and previewCheck the result and its real file size before saving.
- DownloadThe new file is saved with the correct extension. Your original is unchanged.
Supported formats & honest limitations
Conversions: JPG ↔ PNG ↔ WebP in any direction, for files up to 25 MB. Dimensions are never changed by conversion — only the format (and, for JPG/WebP, the quality).
Transparency: PNG and WebP can store transparent pixels; JPG cannot. Converting a transparent image to JPG fills the transparent areas with white. If you need a different background colour, that requires an editor — free options include Photopea (browser-based) or GIMP (desktop).
Quality: converting to JPG or WebP is lossy, and converting from JPG cannot restore detail the JPG already discarded — a JPG converted to PNG is the same picture in a bigger file, not a higher-quality one. Animated images (animated WebP/GIF) are not supported: only the first frame would be kept, so this tool declines GIF input rather than silently breaking your animation.
Browser support: conversion uses your browser's own image engine. WebP output works in all modern browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari 14+). If a very old browser can't encode WebP, the tool will tell you instead of producing a broken file.
A practical example
A designer sends a logo as a 180 KB WebP, but a client's email signature tool only accepts JPG. Converting here at 90% quality produces a JPG of roughly 60–90 KB on a white background — ready to attach. If the logo relied on transparency over a coloured background, PNG would be the safer target instead, and the tool keeps the transparency intact.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert WebP to JPG?
Add your WebP file, leave the target format on JPG, and press Convert. This is the most common conversion because some apps, older software, and upload forms still don't accept WebP.
Will I lose transparency converting to JPG?
Yes. JPG has no transparency channel, so transparent pixels become white. Convert to PNG instead if you need to keep transparency, or to WebP, which also supports it.
Does converting a JPG to PNG improve quality?
No. PNG stores the image losslessly, but it can only store the detail that exists in the JPG — detail already removed by JPG compression is gone. The PNG will simply be a larger file with the same picture.
Which format is smallest?
Usually WebP for photos, often 20–40% smaller than an equivalent JPG. For graphics with transparency, WebP and PNG are the options; PNG wins when every pixel must be exact. See our WebP vs JPG guide for the full comparison.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. Your browser does the conversion locally. Nothing leaves your device.

How to crop an image
- Add your imageChoose a JPG, PNG, or WebP file. A selection box appears over the whole picture.
- Pick a shape (optional)Tap Square 1:1, 16:9, or another ratio to lock the selection's shape — ideal for profile photos and thumbnails.
- Position the selectionDrag the box over the subject, and drag the corner dots to fine-tune its size. You can also type exact pixel dimensions.
- Crop and previewThe result shows the exact dimensions and file size of the cropped image.
- DownloadSave the cropped copy. Your original file is never changed, so you can always re-crop differently.
Supported formats & honest limitations
Works with: JPG/JPEG, PNG, and WebP input up to 25 MB; output as JPG, PNG, or WebP at the selection's exact pixel size.
Cropping is permanent in the output: the pixels outside the selection are not in the downloaded file. That is the point of cropping — but it is also why you should keep your original. This tool never modifies your original file.
Small crops get soft when enlarged: cropping a 400×300 corner out of a photo gives you a 400×300 image. If you then print or display it large, it will look soft — cropping can't add detail that isn't inside the selection.
A practical example
A 4000×3000 product photo needs to become a square marketplace image. Set the ratio to 1:1, drag the selection over the product, and crop: you get a clean 3000×3000 square with the subject centred the way you chose — instead of whatever automatic centre-crop the marketplace would have applied.
Frequently asked questions
How do I make an image square?
Choose the Square 1:1 ratio, position the box over your subject, and press Crop. The output is a perfect square at the largest size your selection allows.
What is the difference between cropping and resizing?
Cropping removes parts of the picture to change its shape; resizing scales the whole picture to different dimensions. If a platform wants a shape your photo doesn't have, crop first, then resize the crop to the exact pixels.
Can I crop to exact pixel dimensions?
Yes — type the width and height into the boxes under the preview. When an aspect ratio is selected, the other dimension adjusts to keep that shape.
Will cropping reduce quality?
The pixels inside the selection are kept exactly as they are. Saving as JPG re-encodes the file at high quality, which is visually indistinguishable for photos; choose PNG output if you need a pixel-perfect lossless crop of a graphic.
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. The crop is drawn and saved by your browser, on your device.

- Check the orderImages appear in the PDF in the order shown. Remove and re-add a file if you need it in a different position.
- Choose page size and orientationA4 suits most forms and printers outside the US; Letter suits the US. “Auto” orientation turns wide images sideways and keeps tall ones upright.
- Create the PDFThe tool builds the file on your device and reports the page count and real file size.
- DownloadSave the PDF and check it opens correctly before you submit or send it anywhere.
Supported formats & honest limitations
Works with: JPG/JPEG, PNG, and WebP images, up to 25 MB each. Any number of images can be combined; each becomes one page, in list order.
Images are embedded as JPEG: inside the PDF, each image is stored as a high-quality JPEG. Transparent PNGs are placed on a white background (PDF pages are not transparent), and fine detail is preserved by a generous quality setting — but if you need a bit-perfect archival copy of a PNG, a PDF is the wrong container.
Size cap for sanity: photos larger than 2500 px on the longest side are scaled down inside the PDF. That is far beyond what A4/Letter printing needs (about 300 DPI at full page), and it keeps PDFs emailable instead of enormous.
No OCR: the PDF contains your images as pictures. Text in them is not searchable or selectable, because no text-recognition is performed.
A practical example
You photographed six pages of a signed agreement with your phone. Add all six, leave page size on A4 and orientation on Auto, and create the PDF: one tidy 6-page document, each photo upright and centred, ready to email or upload to the portal that asked for “a single PDF”.
Frequently asked questions
Can I combine multiple images into one PDF?
Yes — that is the main purpose of this tool. Select several files at once, or add them in batches; each image becomes one page, in the order shown in the list.
Will the PDF quality be good enough to print?
For typical phone photos and scans, yes. Images are embedded at high quality and scaled to fit A4/Letter pages at roughly 300 DPI. Extremely small or blurry originals will still look small or blurry — the PDF can't add detail.
Can I reorder the pages?
Pages follow the order in the list. To move an image, remove it with the × button and add it again — it will be appended at the end. Drag-to-reorder is on our improvement list.
Why did my transparent PNG get a white background?
PDF pages have no transparency — every page is a sheet. Images are flattened onto white, the same as printing on paper.
Are my images uploaded to make the PDF?
No. The PDF file is constructed byte by byte inside your browser tab. Nothing leaves your device.

How to check an image's size
- Add your imageChoose a JPG, PNG, or WebP file — results appear immediately, with no button to press.
- Read the dimensionsWidth × height in pixels is the “size” most platforms ask about.
- Check the aspect ratioThe simplified ratio (like 16:9 or 4:3) tells you the image's shape, so you can compare it with what a platform expects.
- Note the file sizeShown in friendly units and exact bytes — useful when a form states a limit like “200 KB max”.
- Copy the details if you need themOne tap copies a plain-text summary you can paste anywhere.
What the numbers mean & honest limitations
Pixel dimensions are the image's true size — everything else derives from them. Aspect ratio is the width-to-height relationship, simplified like a fraction: a 1920×1080 image is 16:9. Megapixels are simply width × height in millions — a rough detail measure, not a quality score.
Transparency is reported from a quick scan of the image's pixels. JPGs never have transparency; PNGs and WebPs may. The scan samples the image rather than reading an embedded flag, which keeps it fast on large photos.
Not shown: print DPI. Some files carry a “dots per inch” metadata tag, but it is only a printing hint the file declares about itself — it doesn't change the pixels, and browsers don't expose it reliably. What matters for print is pixel dimensions divided by the printed size; 3000 px across a 10-inch print is 300 DPI.
A practical example
A marketplace rejects your upload saying “image too small”. The checker shows 800×800 px — below the 2000 px the marketplace wants for zoom. The fix isn't here (this tool only measures), but now you know the real problem: re-export or re-shoot at a larger size rather than guessing, and use the Resizer when you need exact output dimensions.
Frequently asked questions
How do I check an image's size on my phone?
Open this page, tap the box, and pick the photo. You'll see its pixel dimensions, file size, format, and aspect ratio immediately — no app install needed, and the photo isn't uploaded.
What is aspect ratio, in plain words?
It's the shape of the image expressed as a proportion. 1:1 is a square, 16:9 is a wide screen shape, 4:5 is a slightly-tall portrait. Two images can have completely different pixel counts but the same aspect ratio — same shape, different size.
Why does the file size show two numbers?
The friendly number (like 1.4 MB) is rounded for humans; the exact byte count matters when a form has a hard limit, because “100 KB” can mean 102,400 bytes or 100,000 bytes depending on who's counting.
Can this tool tell me if an image is good quality?
It reports the measurable facts — dimensions, megapixels, file size — but “quality” also depends on sharpness, light, and compression artifacts, which no measurement can grade. As a rough guide, more pixels than the display size, in a file that isn't suspiciously tiny, is a good sign.
Is my image uploaded for inspection?
No. The file is read locally by your browser; the measurements never leave your device.

Favicons are square. If your image isn't square, it is centre-cropped to a square first — crop it yourself with the Image Cropper if the important part isn't in the middle. Simple, bold artwork stays readable at 16×16; detailed photos turn to mush at tab size.
Your favicon set
How to generate a favicon
- Add your logo or imageA square PNG with a simple, bold design works best. Photos rarely survive being shrunk to 16 pixels.
- Generate the setThe tool creates a favicon.ico containing 16, 32, and 48 px icons, plus separate PNGs at 16, 32, 180 (Apple), 192, and 512 px.
- Download the filesSave favicon.ico at minimum; the PNG set covers modern browsers, Apple devices, and Android home screens.
- Put them in your site's root folderBrowsers automatically look for /favicon.ico there.
- Add the HTML codePaste the snippet provided into your pages' <head>, then hard-refresh to see the new tab icon (browsers cache favicons stubbornly).
Supported formats & honest limitations
Input: JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 25 MB. PNG with transparency is the best source — the transparency is preserved in every generated icon. JPG and WebP sources are flattened as-is (convert a transparent PNG if your logo needs a see-through background).
Output: one favicon.ico (a standard ICO container holding real PNG images at 16/32/48 px — the format modern browsers expect) and individual PNG files at 16, 32, 180, 192, and 512 px.
What this doesn't do: it doesn't design a logo, simplify detailed artwork, or generate the full platform manifest some web apps use. If your source is a detailed photo, the 16 px icon will be unreadable no matter who generates it — start from a simplified version of your mark.
A practical example
A blogger's logo is a 1000×1000 PNG of a bold letter “B”. Generated here, the tab icon stays crisp because the shape is simple and the file is square. The 180 px Apple touch icon is what appears when a reader saves the blog to their iPhone home screen — a size most people forget, included in the set automatically.
Frequently asked questions
What size should a favicon be?
Browsers use several sizes: 16×16 for the tab, 32×32 for Retina tabs and shortcuts, 48×48 for Windows tiles, 180×180 for Apple touch icons, and 192/512 px for Android and PWA icons. This tool generates all of them from one image.
Why do I need both an .ico file and PNGs?
favicon.ico is the universal fallback every browser requests automatically. Modern browsers prefer PNG icons declared in HTML, and Apple and Android devices look for their own sizes. Shipping the set covers all of them.
My favicon doesn't update after I replace it. Why?
Browsers cache favicons aggressively and separately from the page. Hard-refresh (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + R), check the icon in a private window, or confirm the new file loads by visiting yoursite.com/favicon.ico directly.
Can I use a photo as a favicon?
You can, but at 16×16 a face or scene becomes an unrecognisable smudge. A single bold letter, shape, or simplified logo mark is what actually works at favicon size.
Is my logo uploaded anywhere?
No. Every icon is drawn and packaged by your browser, on your device.

Platforms occasionally retire sizes or crop differently in specific placements (a feed vs. a profile grid, for example) — if a platform's own help centre states a different number, type it in directly.
Upscaling warning: a small image stretched to a big preset (an 800 px photo into a 2560×1440 banner) will look soft. Start from the largest original you have.
A practical example
A wide 4000×2250 travel photo becomes three posts in under a minute: a 1080×1080 Instagram square (Fill — the horizon stays, the sides trim), a 1280×720 YouTube thumbnail, and a 1000×1500 Pinterest pin. One master photo, three platform-perfect files, zero surprise crops.
Frequently asked questions
What size is an Instagram post in 2026?
1080×1080 for square, 1080×1350 for portrait (which takes more feed space), and 1080×566 for landscape. Stories and Reels are 1080×1920. All four are presets above.
What size should a YouTube thumbnail be?
1280×720 (16:9). YouTube also enforces a 2 MB file limit on thumbnails — if your result is heavier, run it through the Image Compressor afterwards.
Fill or Fit — which should I choose?
Fill for photographs: the frame is completely covered and the crop is usually invisible. Fit for anything with text, a logo, or a face near the edge: nothing is cut, and the padding colour makes the compromise look deliberate.
Why does my cover photo look different on mobile and desktop?
Facebook and LinkedIn display covers at different shapes per device and crop the same file accordingly — nobody's cover is pixel-perfect everywhere. Keep important content in the centre of the frame, which both devices show.
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. The resize is drawn by your browser on your device.

Free PNG to JPG Converter
JPG can't do transparency — so what colour should show through where your PNG is see-through? This free tool converts a PNG (or WebP) to JPG and fills the transparent areas with a background colour you pick: white for documents and marketplaces, black for dark designs, or any custom colour that matches where the image will live.

How to convert PNG to JPG with a background colour
- Add your PNGThe checkerboard preview shows exactly which areas are transparent.
- Pick the background colourWhite is the safe default for forms, documents, and marketplaces. Match the colour to the page or design where the JPG will sit for a seamless result.
- Set the quality92% is a good default — sharp edges, sensible file size.
- Convert and checkPreview the JPG and confirm the background looks right.
- DownloadSave the JPG. Your PNG original is untouched, transparency and all.
Supported formats & honest limitations
Works with: PNG and WebP input (both can carry transparency) up to 25 MB; output is always JPG at the same pixel dimensions. For JPG, GIF-free WebP, or other directions, use the general Format Converter.
The background is permanent in the JPG: once transparency is filled with a colour, the JPG has no way to “un-fill” it. That is a property of the JPG format itself, not this tool — keep your PNG if you might need the transparency again.
Edge fringing: anti-aliased edges (the soft semi-transparent pixels around a logo's outline) blend with your chosen colour. If the JPG will sit on a dark page, fill with that dark colour here; filling with white and placing on black leaves a pale halo.
A practical example
A product cut-out PNG on transparency has to go onto a marketplace that only accepts JPGs on white backgrounds. Converting here with the white background produces exactly what the marketplace would have created badly on its own — a clean white-background JPG, with the product's soft shadow blended naturally.
Frequently asked questions
Why do other converters always use white?
Because JPG needs some colour where the PNG was transparent, and white is the most common assumption. It's the wrong assumption whenever the image will sit on a coloured background — which is why this tool lets you choose.
Will the JPG be smaller than my PNG?
Almost always, dramatically so for photos and detailed artwork. For very simple graphics (a flat two-colour logo), the PNG may already be tiny — the result panel shows you the real before/after either way.
Can I convert a JPG to PNG here?
This page is one-directional on purpose. For JPG to PNG (and every other direction), use the Format Converter — but note it can't restore transparency that a JPG never had.
What quality setting should I use?
92% for anything with text, logos, or sharp edges; 85% is fine for photos where file size matters more. Below 80%, edge artifacts become visible around crisp graphics.
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion happens in your browser, on your device.

Every colour you pick is kept here (this session only). Tap a swatch to see its values again.
How to pick a colour from an image
- Add your imageChoose a JPG, PNG, or WebP — a colour is picked from the centre automatically so you can see how it works.
- Click the exact spotTap the logo, product, or area whose colour you need. The swatch and codes update instantly.
- Read the codesHEX for web and design tools, RGB for code and office apps, HSL when you need to lighten or darken the same hue.
- Copy with one tapUse the copy buttons, or build a small palette by clicking around the image — every pick is saved as a swatch.
Honest limitations
One pixel, not an average: this tool reads the single pixel you tap. In photographs, neighbouring pixels vary (grain, shading, JPEG artifacts), so treat a photo colour as “that exact spot” — tapping a few points nearby gives you the practical range. Logos and flat graphics are exact.
Colour space: values are the sRGB colours as your browser decodes the image — the same numbers your design tool will show for the same file. A wide-gamut (Display P3) photo may contain colours sRGB numbers can't fully express; the HEX is still the closest standard value.
Transparency is reported, not hidden: if you tap a transparent or semi-transparent pixel (PNG/WebP), the opacity is shown honestly next to the colour. A fully transparent pixel's stored colour is meaningless, and the tool says so.
A practical example
A client sends their logo as a PNG and asks you to match its blue in a document. Open the PNG here, tap the blue, and copy #1B4F9C (or whatever your tap returns) straight into your document's theme — no eyedropper plugin, no guessing from a screenshot.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between HEX and RGB?
They describe the same colour two ways. HEX (#RRGGBB) is the compact code used in CSS and design tools; RGB (e.g. 27, 79, 156) lists red, green, and blue amounts separately. HSL expresses hue, saturation, and lightness — friendlier when you want a lighter or darker version of the same colour.
Why do I get slightly different colours each time I click a photo?
Because photos aren't flat colour — every pixel differs slightly due to light, texture, and compression. The tool is honest about the pixel you tapped. For brand colours, pick from the logo or graphic file itself, where areas are truly flat.
Can I pick a colour from a screenshot?
Yes — save the screenshot as a PNG and open it here. Prefer PNG over JPG screenshots: JPG compression smudges colour around text and edges.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes — tap the image instead of clicking. The tool maps your tap to the full-resolution pixel underneath, not the scaled-down preview.
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. The image is drawn and read inside your browser tab only.

Home · All Tools · HEIC to JPG Converter
Free HEIC to JPG Converter
iPhones save photos as HEIC — a format Windows, older apps, and many upload forms still can't open. Add an iPhone photo here and get a universally compatible JPG, free. The conversion runs on your device: on Safari it uses the browser's built-in HEIC support; on other browsers the page loads a free, open-source HEIC decoder — your photo itself is never uploaded.

|---|---|
| File size | — |
Most non-Apple browsers cannot even preview a HEIC file — that's the problem this tool solves. Conversion starts automatically; adjust the quality and re-convert if you like.
HEIC stores photos very efficiently, so the JPG is often larger than the HEIC at high quality. 85–92% is a good balance; lower it if file size matters more.
Result (JPG)

How to convert HEIC to JPG
- Get the HEIC file onto your deviceAirDrop, email, a cable, or a cloud drive — however the iPhone photo reached you is fine.
- Add it herePick the .heic or .heif file. Conversion starts automatically.
- Wait a few secondsHEIC decoding is heavy work, done entirely by your device — large photos on older phones take a little longer.
- Check the preview and sizeThe JPG often comes out larger than the HEIC; lower the quality and convert again if you need it smaller.
- Download the JPGIt opens everywhere: Windows, Android, forms, and older software.
Supported formats & honest limitations
Works with: single-photo HEIC/HEIF files from iPhones and iPads, up to 25 MB. Output is JPG at the photo's original pixel dimensions.
How the decoding works: Safari (on Apple devices) can decode HEIC natively, and the tool uses that when available. Chrome, Edge, and Firefox cannot, so for them the page loads heic2any — a free, open-source decoder — from a public CDN, and the decoding still happens locally in your tab. If the decoder can't be loaded (for example, you're offline) the tool will tell you, rather than failing silently.
What doesn't survive conversion: “Live Photo” motion (only the still image converts), depth maps used for Portrait-mode re-editing, and HDR metadata. The picture itself — at full resolution — converts faithfully. If a HEIC holds a burst or several images, the first image is converted.
Size expectations: HEIC is roughly twice as efficient as JPG, so a converted JPG at high quality is commonly 1.5–2× the HEIC's file size. That's normal, not a fault — JPG trades storage for compatibility.
A practical example
A relative emails you iPhone photos for a family album you're assembling in older desktop software that rejects every .heic file. Convert each photo here — ten seconds each — and the whole set drops into the album as ordinary JPGs, still at full iPhone resolution for printing.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my iPhone save HEIC instead of JPG?
HEIC (Apple's “High Efficiency” format) stores the same photo in roughly half the space of JPG. It's a good format on Apple devices — the trouble is only compatibility everywhere else. You can also change the iPhone itself: Settings → Camera → Formats → “Most Compatible” makes it capture JPGs directly.
Is my photo uploaded to a server for conversion?
No. Safari decodes HEIC itself; other browsers download an open-source decoder library once, and your photo is decoded in your tab. Nothing about your image is transmitted.
Why is the JPG bigger than the HEIC?
Because HEIC is the more efficient format — that's its entire advantage. The JPG buys compatibility with size. If the JPG is too big for a form, compress it with the Image Compressor afterwards.
The conversion failed. What can I try?
Check you're online if you're not on Safari (the decoder library needs one download), try a current browser version, and confirm the file really is HEIC — some apps export files named .heic that contain something else. On an iPhone, you can also re-export the photo from the Photos app as a JPG via Share → Save to Files in some flows.
Can I convert several HEIC photos at once?
One at a time for now — HEIC decoding is memory-hungry, and batch conversion on phones would be unreliable. A batch mode is on the improvement list.

Free Background Remover
Product cut-outs, profile photos on clean backgrounds, design elements without the room behind them. Add a photo and an AI model separates the subject from its background, returning a PNG with real transparency — free for you to use, with no sign-up. Unlike our other tools, this one needs a server-side AI service — the trade-off is explained honestly below.

How to remove a background
- Add your imagePhotos with one clear subject and a background that contrasts with it give the cleanest cutouts.
- Press “Remove background”The image is sent to the AI processing service; most photos take 5–20 seconds.
- Inspect the cutoutCheck edges — hair, fur, and glass are the hardest — on the checkerboard preview.
- Download the PNGThe result keeps real transparency, ready for designs, listings, and documents. Place it on any colour with the PNG to JPG Converter if you need a flat JPG.
Supported formats & honest limitations
Works with: JPG/JPEG, PNG, and WebP input up to 25 MB. Output is a transparent PNG at the image's original dimensions (very large images may be processed at a reduced size by the service, in which case the result states its real dimensions).
This tool needs the internet and our service: AI background removal requires a segmentation model that doesn't fit in a browser tab. If the processing service is unavailable or hasn't been configured for this site yet, the tool will say so clearly instead of pretending to work — and your image simply isn't processed.
Edge quality varies: wispy hair, fur, transparent objects (glasses, veils, bottles), and subjects the same colour as their background can leave fringes or missing pieces. Professional product photography sometimes still needs a human touch-up; for typical portraits, products, and pets, results are usually clean.
A practical example
A seller photographs a handmade bag on a busy bedroom background. One pass here isolates the bag on transparency; placing that PNG on a clean white background (via the PNG to JPG Converter) gives a marketplace-ready listing photo — no studio, no manual tracing.
Frequently asked questions
Why does this tool upload my image when the others don't?
Because the AI model that separates a subject from its background is far too large and specialised to run inside a browser tab. Compression, resizing, and conversion are simple maths your device can do; background removal is machine learning. We label the difference plainly rather than hiding the upload.
What happens to my image after processing?
It's used to produce your cutout for this request. You should treat it like sending a photo to any online processing service: fine for products, portraits, and design work; not the place for sensitive documents. The browser-only tools on this site remain the right choice for anything private.
The tool says the service isn't available. What now?
It means the background-removal service hasn't been configured or is temporarily unreachable — the tool reports that honestly rather than faking a result. Try again later, or use a desktop editor (GIMP or Photoshop) for a manual cut-out in the meantime.
Can it remove backgrounds from logos and graphics?
It works best on photos of real subjects. For a logo on a single flat background colour, a graphics editor's colour-select erase is usually cleaner — and if your PNG already has transparency, you may not need removal at all.
What format is the result?
PNG, because it's the common format that preserves the transparent background the service returns. Convert it with the PNG to JPG Converter if you need it flattened onto a colour.

Home · All Tools · AI Image Generator
Free AI Image Generator
Describe the picture you have in mind and this free tool creates it for you — blog illustrations, product mock-ups, social posts, story art, or just an idea you want to see. Type a prompt, pick a shape, and press Generate. Because generation runs on a free shared queue, your image usually takes 1–3 minutes to arrive — no sign-up, no watermark, no fee.
Specific prompts work best: name the subject, the setting, the lighting, and the style (“photorealistic”, “flat illustration”, “watercolour”). One clear scene per image beats a long list of ideas.
Square suits posts and avatars, landscape suits banners and blog headers, portrait suits stories and pins. Need a bigger final file? Upscale afterwards with the Image Resizer.

How to generate a free AI image
- Write your promptDescribe one clear scene: the subject, where it is, the lighting, and the style you want — “a red bicycle leaning against a café window at sunset, photorealistic”.
- Pick a sizeSquare (512×512) for posts and avatars, landscape (576×384) for banners and headers, portrait (384×576) for stories and pins.
- Press “Generate my free image”Your prompt joins a free shared queue. Generation usually takes 1–3 minutes — keep this tab open while you wait.
- Preview the resultCheck the image, especially details AI commonly fumbles — hands, text, and small objects. Not right? Adjust the prompt wording and generate again, free.
- DownloadSave the finished image with the download button, then resize, crop, or compress it with the other free tools here if you need a different shape or file size.
Honest limitations
It runs on a free shared queue: this generator is powered by a shared free service, so your prompt waits its turn alongside other people's. Most images arrive in 1–3 minutes; at busy times it can take longer, and if the queue is overloaded the tool will tell you plainly and ask you to try again — it never fakes a result. Leaving the tab and coming back cancels nothing on the server, but this page stops checking, so keep the tab open.
Three sizes only: square 512×512, landscape 576×384, and portrait 384×576. These are modest, web-friendly dimensions — great for posts, mock-ups, and drafts. For print or large displays, generate here and then enlarge carefully with the Image Resizer, knowing that upscaling softens detail.
AI images have AI flaws: extra fingers, garbled lettering, and odd small details are normal, especially in busy scenes. Prompts asking for readable text in the picture (“a sign that says…”) rarely come out clean — add your text afterwards with a design tool instead. Results also vary between runs: the same prompt twice gives two different images.
Use common sense with prompts: don't ask for images of real private people, and don't include personal information in your prompt text — it is sent to the generation service to do its work.
A practical example
A small shop owner needs a header image for a blog post about morning routines. The prompt “a wooden desk by a bright window, notebook, pen and a cup of tea, soft morning light, photorealistic” at landscape size returns a warm 576×384 header in about two minutes — free, with no stock-photo licence to check and no photo shoot to arrange. She then runs it through the Image Compressor so the page loads fast.
Frequently asked questions
Is this AI image generator really free?
Yes — no sign-up, no credits to buy, and no watermark on the result. It runs on a free shared generation queue, which is why images take 1–3 minutes instead of a few seconds: free capacity is shared capacity. If the queue is too busy, the tool says so honestly rather than charging you or faking an image.
How long does one image take?
Usually 1–3 minutes from pressing Generate, depending on how busy the free queue is. The page checks for your image automatically every few seconds and shows it the moment it's ready — just keep the tab open. If a generation takes far longer than usual, the tool stops waiting and explains, so you can try again.
What sizes can I generate?
Three: Square 512×512 (posts, avatars, product shots), Landscape 576×384 (banners, blog headers), and Portrait 384×576 (stories, pins, phone wallpapers). If you need the picture bigger afterwards, the Image Resizer can enlarge it — with some softening, as with any upscale.
How do I get a better result from my prompt?
Describe one scene, in order: subject → setting → lighting → style. “A lighthouse on rocky coast at dusk, waves, dramatic sky, photorealistic” beats “lighthouse”. Avoid asking for words or logos inside the image — AI lettering usually comes out garbled — and if hands or faces matter, expect to generate two or three variations and keep the best.
What happens to my prompt?
It is sent to the image-generation service purely so it can create your picture — that is the one step that can't happen inside your browser. Nothing in this page contains an API key, and no account is involved. Treat prompts like anything you'd type into a search box: fine for picture ideas, not the place for personal or private information.
The generator reported an error. What should I do?
Errors usually mean the free queue is overloaded or the service is temporarily unreachable — wait a minute and press Generate again. If it keeps failing, shorten or rephrase the prompt (very long or unusual prompts are more likely to be rejected) and check your internet connection.

About PixoraTool
A small, independent site that does one thing well: quick image jobs, done privately, for free.
What this site is. PixoraTool is a set of free online image tools — a compressor, a resizer, a cropper, format converters (including PNG to JPG and HEIC to JPG), an image-to-PDF maker, a size checker, a favicon generator, a social media resizer, and a colour picker — plus practical guides for creators, bloggers, online sellers, and small website owners. The site lives at pixoratool.com.
Why the tools run in your browser. Most image tools upload your file to their server, process it, and let you download it back. We chose a different design: your browser does the work on your device. That means your photos are never transmitted to us, processing is instant, and the tools keep working even on a flaky connection. The one deliberate exception is the Background Remover: background removal needs an AI model, so that tool sends its image to a processing service for that request only — a difference its page and our Privacy Policy state plainly. The trade-off is honest too — extremely large files depend on your device's memory, and a few advanced jobs (like batch processing) aren't possible yet.
How the site supports itself. The plan is advertising through Google AdSense once the site is reviewed and approved, and — only where genuinely relevant — clearly disclosed affiliate links to software we have actually evaluated. We don't sell data (we never receive your images in the first place), we don't charge for the tools, and we never publish fake reviews, ratings, or usage numbers. See our Affiliate Disclosure and Privacy Policy for the exact commitments.
What we won't do. We won't pretend a feature works when it doesn't — planned tools are labelled “Planned”. We won't promise search rankings, compression percentages, or quality outcomes we can't control; each tool reports your image's real before-and-after numbers instead. And we won't hide limitations: each tool page has a “Supported formats & honest limitations” section, and we keep it current.
Who runs it
The site is run by an independent creator learning web publishing in public — building genuinely useful tools first, and monetising later, in that order. If a guide helped you, or a tool got something wrong, the contact page is the fastest way to reach the person behind it. Corrections are welcome and are made openly.

Before you write about a tool problem
Most issues clear up with three quick checks: use a current browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari), make sure the file is a JPG, PNG, or WebP under 25 MB, and try a smaller file if you're on an older phone — processing happens on your device, so its memory is the limit. Including your browser and device in your message helps us help you faster.
Response time — honestly
This is a small, independently run site. We aim to reply within a few working days, but there is no support team or guaranteed turnaround. For urgent image jobs, the tools themselves are available around the clock — they don't depend on us being online.
Owner launch guide
Beginner-friendly setup notes for the site owner: what this version can and can't do, how to publish it on a real domain, and the SEO / privacy / AdSense checklist to work through — in order, all with free tools.
1. What you have, and its limits
This version is a single-page website: all pages (Home, Tools, Guides, policies) live in one file and are shown one at a time. The tools genuinely work: eleven process images in the visitor's browser at no server cost. Two tools need same-origin endpoints the host must provide: the Background Remover posts the image to /api/remove-bg, and the AI Image Generator posts the prompt as JSON to /api/generate-image and polls it for the finished image (both endpoints hold any API keys server-side; keys must never be placed in this page). Until an endpoint exists on the host, its tool honestly reports the service as unavailable instead of faking a result.
- Real limitation — SEO: search engines prefer one real address per page. A single-page site is a perfect, free way to validate the idea and the tools, but for serious Google traffic and an AdSense application, publish the multi-page version (same design and text, one file per page) on your own domain. Free static hosts below make that straightforward.
- No accounts, database, or comments — none are needed for these tools, and skipping them keeps the site fast and private.
- The contact form opens the visitor's email app (a mailto: link) because a static page has no server to receive messages. The form sends to hello@pixoratool.com — update that address in the page if your inbox ever changes.
2. Publish it free, on your own domain
- Domain — done: this site's domain is pixoratool.com, bought from a registrar. (A domain is the one small unavoidable cost of a serious site — roughly the price of a couple of coffees per year.)
- Create a free account at Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, or GitHub Pages — all host static sites free.
- Upload the site files (drag-and-drop works on Netlify and Cloudflare Pages — no coding needed).
- Connect your domain using the host's “Custom domain” button and follow its DNS instructions exactly.
- HTTPS turns on automatically on all three hosts (free certificates). Visit your site and confirm the padlock before doing anything else.
3. Launch checklist — SEO, privacy, analytics, AdSense
- Brand & contact — done: the site is branded PixoraTool (pixoratool.com) in the logo, page titles, Privacy Policy and Terms, and the contact form sends to hello@pixoratool.com.
- Google Search Console: add the domain property, verify ownership (DNS record), submit your sitemap (the host can generate one, or use a free sitemap generator), and check “Pages” weekly for indexing problems.
- Google Analytics: create a free GA4 property and add its tag to every page. Watch which tools and guides people actually use before writing more content.
- Mobile check: open every tool on a real phone, process a real photo, and confirm downloads land in the right place. Also run the free PageSpeed Insights test.
- Privacy accuracy: the Privacy Policy describes browser-only processing. The moment you add analytics or ads, update it to name those services and add a cookie-consent notice for visitors in the UK/EU.
- AdSense — apply only when ready: original content live, all policy pages published, clear navigation, no placeholder text. Approval is Google's decision under its current policies; nothing on this site should claim or imply approval in advance. When approved, paste the ad code into the clearly-marked ad slots — never next to download buttons.
- Affiliate links: only add them after you've joined the program and used the product. Disclose them next to the recommendation, as the Affiliate Disclosure page explains. Never invent prices or ratings.
4. A realistic next-step plan (still free)
- Weeks 1–2: publish on your domain, finish the checklist above, and ask five real people to test the tools on their phones.
- Month 1: write the remaining queued guides one at a time, testing every claim with the tools themselves. Check Search Console to see which queries actually appear before choosing the next topic.
- Month 2: apply for AdSense once the site has steady content and clean policy pages. Add ads only in the reserved slots.
- Month 3+: build the planned tools (batch compressor, cropper, favicon generator) only if Search Console and Analytics show people asking for them.
Nothing in this plan requires paid tools, paid APIs, or subscriptions. The only planned expense is the yearly domain renewal.
Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 2026. This policy describes exactly what happens to your information on this website — written to match how the site actually works.
The short version
Eleven of our thirteen image tools run entirely in your browser: those images are never uploaded to a server, never seen by us, and never shared with anyone. The Background Remover and the AI Image Generator are the exceptions — the Background Remover sends its image to a background-removal processing service solely to produce your cutout, and the AI Image Generator sends the text prompt you type to an image-generation service to create your picture, as their pages explain before you use them.
What we collect
Images: for the eleven browser-based tools, nothing. Files you select are read locally by your browser, processed locally, and offered back to you as a download. No copy is transmitted or stored anywhere. For the Background Remover only, the image you submit is transmitted to the background-removal processing service to generate your result; don't use that tool for images you aren't comfortable sending to a processing service. For the AI Image Generator, the prompt text you type is transmitted to the image-generation service to produce your image; don't include personal information in prompts.
Contact messages: the contact form opens your own email application. If you send that email, we receive your name, email address, and message — used only to reply to you. We do not sell or share it.
Usage analytics: if analytics are enabled on the live site, they will be provided by Google Analytics and will collect standard, aggregated information such as pages visited, approximate region, device type, and browser. This section will be updated to name the service before it is enabled.
Cookies
The tools themselves set no cookies and use no local storage for your images. If advertising (Google AdSense) or analytics are added after approval, those third-party services may set cookies to measure performance and, where you consent, to personalise ads. A cookie notice will be shown to visitors in regions that require consent (including the UK and EU) before any such cookies are set.
Third parties
Other than the Background Remover's processing service — used only when you press that tool's button — we do not transmit your images or personal information to third parties. Links to external websites are governed by their own privacy policies; we are not responsible for their practices.
Children's privacy
This site is a general-purpose utility and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes to this policy
If how the site handles data ever changes — for example, if a future tool genuinely requires server processing — this policy will be updated first, and the change will be explained on the affected tool page before the feature launches.

Terms of Use
Last updated: October 2026. By using this website you agree to these terms.
The service
PixoraTool provides free, browser-based image tools (compression, resizing, cropping, format conversion, PDF creation, and related utilities) and informational guides. The tools are provided “as is”, without warranties of any kind. Because processing happens on your device, results can vary by browser and device.
Your responsibilities
- You are responsible for the images you process and for having the right to use them.
- Always keep your original files. Processed outputs replace nothing automatically, but we are not liable for files you choose to overwrite or delete.
- Do not use the site for unlawful purposes, or attempt to disrupt, overload, or reverse-engineer the service.
Accuracy
Guides are written in good faith from real testing, but tools, platforms, and recommended sizes change over time. File sizes and dimensions shown by the tools are the real measurements of your actual file at the moment of processing. We do not guarantee specific compression percentages, quality outcomes, search rankings, or platform acceptance of any output file.
Intellectual property
You keep all rights to your images; processing them here transfers nothing to us. The site's text, guides, and design belong to the site owner and may not be republished wholesale without permission.
Advertising and affiliates
The site may display advertising and may contain affiliate links, disclosed in accordance with our Affiliate Disclosure. Advertisements are labelled and kept separate from tool controls.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from use of the tools or guides, including loss of files you did not back up.
Changes
These terms may be updated; the “last updated” date above will change when they do. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised terms.
Affiliate Disclosure
How this site may earn money from recommendations — stated plainly, before you ever meet one.
The commitment
Some pages on this site may, in future, link to software or creator tools through affiliate programmes. If you buy through such a link, the site may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That is the entire mechanism — nothing else changes hands.
Current status — honestly
As of this page's publication, no affiliate links are live on this site. Links will only be added after the site owner has (1) actually joined the relevant programme and been approved, (2) personally used or properly evaluated the product, and (3) placed a clear disclosure next to the recommendation itself, not just on this page.
Our rules for recommendations
- We never invent prices, features, ratings, or partnerships. Every claim about a recommended product must be verifiable on the vendor's own site.
- A commission never buys a recommendation. If a product is poor, it is described as poor or not mentioned at all.
- Our own tools are free and will remain the primary recommendation whenever they do the job.
- Disclosures appear at or before the point of recommendation, in plain language.
This disclosure is intended to comply with the US Federal Trade Commission's guidance on endorsements (16 CFR Part 255) and equivalent rules in the UK, Canada, and Australia. Questions: contact us.
Disclaimer
The fine print that keeps everyone's expectations honest.
General information
Content on this site — tools, guides, and recommendations — is provided for general informational purposes. It is not professional advice for any specific situation, and platform requirements (social networks, marketplaces, exam and government forms) change without notice. Always confirm the current requirement on the destination platform before relying on a number quoted here.
Results vary
Compression percentages, file sizes, and quality outcomes depend on your specific image and device. Examples in our guides describe typical outcomes from real tests, not guarantees. The tools always display your file's actual measurements.
No endorsement or approval
This site is independently operated. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or approved by Google, Google AdSense, or any platform, marketplace, or software company mentioned in its guides. Any future advertising relationship does not constitute an endorsement of this site by the advertiser or network.
External links
Links to third-party websites are provided for convenience. We do not control their content and are not responsible for it.
Your files
Processing happens on your device (except the Background Remover, which uses a processing service, as disclosed on its page) and outputs are new files. Keep backups of anything important — we cannot recover files, because for the browser-based tools we never receive them.
