Image tools

Every image tool, in one place.

Convert a photo or graphic to the format a site, app or printer asks for, edit it without an editor, and make it small enough to upload. Each tool below says in one line what it does; the guide underneath helps you pick the right one.

WebP, GIF, SVG and icons

Smaller files for the web, short animations, vector output and site icons.

Make an image smaller

Shrink a photo for a form, an email or a page, or hit an exact size limit.

Choosing the right tool

Photo or graphic?

JPG and lossy WebP are built for photographs: they discard fine detail the eye is unlikely to miss, which keeps files small. PNG is lossless, so it is the better choice for logos, screenshots, diagrams and anything with text or flat colour, where JPG leaves soft edges and blotches.

JPG cannot store transparency. Converting a transparent PNG to JPG fills the background with a solid colour, so keep PNG or WebP when the image has to sit on a coloured page.

Which format should you pick?

Pick JPG when a form, a printer or an older program has to open the file. Pick WebP for your own web pages, where it is smaller than JPG and PNG at similar quality. Pick PNG for graphics and for anything you will edit again, since every save of a JPG loses a little more detail.

iPhones save photos as HEIC by default, and many websites and Windows programs still refuse it, so convert a HEIC photo to JPG before you upload or send it. AVIF is newer and smaller again, with the same problem of support.

RAW photos

A RAW file holds what the camera sensor recorded before any processing. Converting it to JPG or PNG applies a standard development, so the result is ready to share but no longer has the RAW file's room for adjusting exposure and colour. Keep the original RAW file if you may want to edit it later.

Making an image smaller

The quickest way to cut file size is to reduce the pixel dimensions: a photo straight from a phone is far larger than any screen shows. Resize first, then compress. When a site sets a hard limit, the size target tools search for the highest quality that fits under it, and reduce the dimensions only when quality alone cannot get there.

Photos often carry EXIF data, including the camera model and sometimes the place they were taken. Remove it before you post a picture publicly.

Privacy and limits

Conversions between the common web formats, from JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP or SVG to JPG, PNG or WebP, run in your browser. HEIC, AVIF, RAW, PSD, EPS, TIFF and every GIF or icon output are converted on FileWhirl's own server and deleted after 1 hour. Each tool's page says where its file goes, and there is no watermark.

Free covers 10 server conversions a day, up to 100 MB a file. Pro removes the daily limit and raises the file limit to 2 GB.
