Convert images and documents online: HEIC, PNG, JPG, WebP, SVG and Word
These converters handle everyday file changes. An iPhone photo will not open, a PNG has to be a JPG, a logo in SVG needs to be a PNG, a Word document must be sent as a PDF. Each conversion has its own page with the few options that matter, and a single file converts for free without an account. They cover image, PDF and Office document formats, not audio, video, ebook or CAD files.
Convert an iPhone HEIC photo to JPG
To convert a HEIC or HEIF photo to JPG, upload it and the converter decodes it on the server and saves a standard JPG. Set the JPEG quality, select Convert to JPG and download the file. The photo is turned upright using its orientation tag, the pixel size stays the same and camera and location tags from the original are not copied. Converting a whole folder is a Premium batch that returns one ZIP.
Switch between PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF and AVIF
Switching an image to another format starts with Convert to Format, which offers JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF and GIF. The Quality slider applies to JPEG, WebP and AVIF. Transparent areas turn white when the target is JPEG, and an animated GIF becomes a still image. The PNG to JPG page adds a Background fill color for transparent pixels, and camera RAW, Photoshop PSD and EPS files have their own pages in the converter hub.
Turn an SVG into a PNG at the size you need
Turning an SVG into a PNG means choosing a Scale from 1x to 8x of the declared size, starting at 2x, and picking a Transparent, White or Custom background. Choose a higher scale when the PNG will be shown large, because a vector drawn at scale stays sharp while a small PNG enlarged later does not. A PNG and JPG toggle sets the output type.
Convert Word and image files to PDF
To save a Word document as a PDF, upload a DOC, DOCX, ODT or RTF file. There are no settings, and the PDF keeps supported fonts and layout. Putting photos or screenshots into a PDF works by adding them in order: each image gets its own page, and you can pick A4, Letter or Image fit. Both end on a See result step that opens the download page.
Free CloudConvert alternative for images, PDFs and Office files
Single conversions between common image formats, SVG to PNG, HEIC to JPG, Word to PDF and Image to PDF run without an account or a payment, so a one-off file does not need a signup. Converting many files in one run is a Premium feature, and formats outside images, PDFs and Office documents are not offered. For the limits and plans of CloudConvert itself, check its own site.
Where CloudConvert users will notice a difference
If you use CloudConvert for occasional jobs, everyday conversions here produce the same kinds of file: JPG, PNG, WebP, SVG and PDF, and a single file needs no account. The main difference is range. Specialist formats outside images, PDFs and Office documents are not covered, so a file that is audio, video, an ebook or a CAD drawing needs a converter that lists that format.
Before you convert a folder of files
- Convert one sample file first and open it in the app that will use it.
- Check transparent images after a JPG conversion, where the background becomes white.
- Keep the originals, because every conversion writes a new file.
- Remember that converting many files in one run is a Premium feature.
FAQ
Is Pixoate a free CloudConvert alternative?
For common image and document conversions, yes — HEIC, PNG, JPG, WebP, SVG and Office ⇄ PDF are free. CloudConvert supports a wider catalog of rare formats if you need those.
Which output formats can I convert images to?
The image converters write JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, TIFF, BMP, ICO and PDF. Camera RAW, Photoshop PSD and EPS files can be opened and converted too, through the image converter hub. Documents go to PDF from Word, PowerPoint and Excel, and PDFs go back to Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
Can I convert audio, video or ebook files here?
These converters cover image, PDF and Office document formats only. For an audio, video, ebook or CAD file, use a converter that lists that format, and keep the original until the new file opens correctly.
Can I convert many files at once?
Batch conversion is a Premium feature. The image converters and several document tools accept up to 60 files, or 200 on Pro, apply one setting to all of them and return one ZIP. Without Premium, each run converts a single file.
Does converting an image change its pixel size?
Image conversions keep the pixel dimensions, except SVG, which is drawn at the scale you choose. JPG, WebP and AVIF output uses the quality setting, so a lower quality gives a smaller file with less detail.
Can I convert HEIC to PNG instead of JPG?
Yes. HEIC to PNG decodes the photo once and saves a lossless PNG with no quality setting, which avoids a second lossy save. Choose it when you plan to edit the picture further, and expect a larger file than a JPG.

Every photo crosses the slash untouched and comes out the other side finished.
