DropFormat

Convert Photos Without Installing an App

You have one image to convert. You don’t want to install an app for it. You definitely don’t want to create an account somewhere.

Drop the file below. The converter handles HEIC (iPhone photos), PNG, JPG, WebP, BMP, and GIF. It runs in your browser. Nothing gets installed, nothing gets uploaded.

HEIC photos from iPhones and iPads embed GPS coordinates, camera details, and timestamps. DropFormat strips all metadata during conversion. Your output file contains only pixel data.

Works on any device

Because the converter runs in the browser, it works on Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhones, iPads, and Android phones. No app store, no download, no permissions to grant. If your device has a modern browser, it works.

On phones, the WASM library that does the decoding is heavier on RAM, so very large files (over 20 MB) may be slow. For typical phone photos (3 to 12 MB), it completes in a few seconds.

All free format pairs

The converter above handles HEIC to JPG. For other format combinations, use the dedicated page for the best experience:

Why no upload?

Most online converters upload your file to a server, convert it there, and send back the result. That means your file spends time on a computer you don’t control. If it’s a photo with GPS coordinates, a document with sensitive content, or anything you wouldn’t email to a stranger, that’s a problem.

This converter uses WebAssembly to run the decoding and encoding entirely in your browser tab. The file bytes never leave your device. You can verify this by opening your browser’s Network tab and watching while you convert. No requests go out (except an error report if the conversion fails, which contains only the error message, not the file).
