About PictureConvert
PictureConvert is a free online tool for converting, compressing, and editing images. Our mission is simple: provide powerful image tools that respect your privacy.
Our Story
We built PictureConvert because we were frustrated with existing image tools. Most require you to upload your files to unknown servers, create accounts, or pay for basic features. We believed there had to be a better way.
Using modern browser technologies like Canvas API and WebAssembly, we created a suite of image tools that work entirely in your browser. Your images never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy while delivering fast, reliable results.
Our Values
Privacy First
Your files never leave your device. All processing happens locally in your browser using modern web technologies.
Lightning Fast
No uploads, no downloads from servers. Instant conversions powered by your device's processing power.
No Sign-up Required
Just use the tools. No accounts, no emails, no tracking. We believe in respecting your time and privacy.
Free Forever
All tools are completely free to use. We sustain the site through non-intrusive advertising.
How It Works
When you use PictureConvert, your image is processed entirely within your web browser. We use the HTML5 Canvas API to read, manipulate, and export images in different formats. For specialized formats like HEIC, we use optimized JavaScript libraries that run locally.
This approach means:
- Your files are never uploaded to our servers
- Conversions happen instantly without network delays
- Your data remains completely private
- The tools work offline once the page is loaded

- JPG/JPEG - The most common format for photographs
