Which formats are supported?

You can convert to and from JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF and BMP, and convert from HEIC/HEIF (iPhone photos). Browsers cannot create HEIC files, so HEIC is input-only. Output formats your browser cannot encode are detected and disabled automatically.

Can I convert HEIC to JPG?

Yes. Drop in a HEIC photo from an iPhone and choose JPG (or PNG/WebP). The HEIC file is decoded locally in your browser with a bundled decoder — it is never uploaded anywhere.

Is transparency preserved?

Yes, when converting to a format that supports an alpha channel (PNG, WebP, AVIF). For formats without transparency (JPG, BMP), you can pick a background color for transparent areas.

Is my image uploaded?

No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser — your images never touch a server.

What is AVIF and should I use it?

AVIF produces the smallest high-quality files. Encoding support varies by browser, so PixelVault enables it only when your browser can create AVIF files.

Can I convert many images at once?

Yes. Batch-convert a whole folder of images and export them together as a ZIP.

Convert JPG to PNG

Convert JPG photos to lossless PNG, entirely in your browser. Useful when you need an editable, artifact-free copy. Your files never leave your device.

Privacy-first: every image is processed locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, stored or transmitted to any server.

What converting JPG to PNG actually does

One honest note up front: converting to PNG cannot restore detail the JPG already discarded — compression loss is permanent. What it does give you is a copy that will never degrade further. PNG is lossless, so you can open, edit and re-save it as many times as you like without accumulating new artifacts.

When it makes sense

PNG is the right working format whenever a JPG is about to be edited repeatedly: retouching, adding text or annotations, or compositing. Each JPG re-save re-compresses the whole image and slowly smears fine detail; doing those edits on a PNG intermediate keeps everything crisp until the final export. It is also the format many print shops and design tools prefer to receive.

Local, batch-ready conversion

The pixels are decoded and re-wrapped as PNG right in your browser — nothing is uploaded, and a whole shoot can be converted in one drag-and-drop. Note that PNGs of photographs are large; that is normal for lossless storage.
