What the Bulk Image Converter does
Select any number of images in any mix of formats — JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, TIFF, AVIF, HEIC, ICO, SVG — pick one output format and quality, and download every converted file in a single ZIP. It replaces running a single-format converter fifty times. Each image is decoded and re-encoded in your browser, so a folder of private photos stays on your device.
Supported formats
| Direction | Formats |
|---|---|
| Input | JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF (first frame), BMP, TIFF, AVIF, HEIC/HEIF, ICO, SVG |
| Output | JPG, PNG, WebP |
Decoding uses the browser for common formats, a TIFF decoder for .tif files and a HEVC decoder for iPhone HEIC photos. AVIF input needs a browser that supports AVIF (Chrome, Firefox, Safari 16+).
Choosing the output format
- JPG — photographs, smallest files, no transparency. Quality 80–85 is visually lossless for most uses; 70 for web thumbnails.
- PNG — screenshots, logos, anything with transparency or sharp edges. Lossless; quality setting has no effect.
- WebP — 25–35% smaller than JPG at the same quality, supports transparency, works in every current browser. Best for websites; some older desktop software cannot open it.
Transparent areas become white when converting to JPG. Animated GIFs are flattened to their first frame — use the GIF tools for animation.
Common uses
- Converting a camera roll of HEIC photos to JPG for a Windows PC or an upload form.
- Preparing product photos as WebP for a website.
- Converting scanned TIFFs from an office scanner into JPGs that email can carry.
- Normalising a design hand-off — a folder of mixed PNG, SVG and WebP — to one format.
- Turning a batch of screenshots into compressed JPGs for a bug report.
Limits and performance
- Files are processed one after another; a hundred 12-megapixel photos take a minute or two on a laptop, longer on a phone.
- The ZIP is assembled in memory. Very large batches (several hundred large photos) may exceed a phone browser's memory — split them.
- Output files keep the original name with the new extension. Duplicate names get a numeric suffix.
- Metadata (EXIF, GPS) is not carried into the output — a privacy benefit for sharing, a loss if you need capture dates.
- Images are not resized. Use Bulk Image Resizer first if you also need smaller dimensions.
