Overview

FreeConvert converts images between formats in the browser: JPG, PNG, WEBP, HEIC, GIF, SVG and many more. Upload several files at once, pick the output format, set options such as quality, size or compression, and download the results. Compress, resize, crop and rotate tools sit on the same site. FreeConvert states transfers use 256-bit encryption and uploads are deleted automatically after a few hours.

It runs in any browser, with iPhone and Android apps and an API. Free use needs no account and takes files up to 1 GB. You get 20 minutes of conversion time a day, 5 minutes per file, with ads. Paying is a subscription or one-time conversion credits, and both raise the limits and remove ads.

When to use

Use FreeConvert when an image needs a different format:

  • An iPhone HEIC, a WEBP from a website or an old format needs to become a plain JPG or PNG that any app accepts.
  • You have a folder of images to convert in one run rather than one at a time.
  • You want to set quality, dimensions or compression while converting instead of fixing the result afterwards.
  • You also juggle documents and other files and want one converter site for all of them.
  • You care what happens to uploads. FreeConvert states files are encrypted in transit and deleted after a few hours.

When NOT to use

Skip FreeConvert if any of these describe you:

  • You convert at volume every day. Free use gives 20 minutes of conversion time a day and shows ads.
  • You want to edit the photo, not only repackage it. A photo editor covers cropping, color and retouching properly.
  • You only ever shrink images for the web. A dedicated image compressor is the more direct tool.
  • The files are confidential enough that uploading them anywhere is off the table. Conversion happens on FreeConvert's servers.
