When to Use
- Converting PNG designs to JPG for smaller email attachments
- Batch converting web images to print-ready TIFF format
- Creating WebP files for faster website loading
- Extracting pattern pages from a PDF catalog
Pro Tips
Drag multiple files at once. All convert with the same settings, and Download All saves each converted file.
JPG doesn't support transparency. Convert transparent designs to PNG or WebP only.
Use TIFF for maximum quality print production. It's lossless and widely supported.
How do I…
How do I convert iPhone HEIC photos?
Drop the .heic files in the Image tab and pick an output format; they show as 'from HEIC' in the list. If one cannot be read (often Live Photos or newer HDR photos), save it as JPEG from the Photos app and upload that.
How do I turn a PDF into images?
In the PDF tab choose PDF → Images, then PNG (lossless) or JPG (smaller), and an output quality: 1x is 72 DPI, 2x is 144 DPI and 3x is 216 DPI for print.
How do I combine images into one PDF?
In the PDF tab choose Images → PDF and add your images. It saves a single combined.pdf.
Does converting keep my image's metadata?
No. JPG and WebP save at full quality, but the original metadata is not carried over.

Real-World Examples
Email-Ready Attachments
A designer needs to email 10 pattern previews to a client. PNG files are too large (50MB total). Before: 10 PNG files @ 5MB each, total: 50MB (too large). After (JPG): 10 JPG files saved at full quality, far smaller than the PNGs for photographic previews. Settings: Output: JPG.
PDF Catalog to Images
A supplier sent a 20-page PDF catalog. The designer needs individual pattern images for reference. Before: 20-page PDF catalog, single combined file. After (PDF to Images): 20 individual PNG files, one per catalog page. Settings: PDF tab, PDF → Images, PNG (Lossless).
