How it works
How to convert HEIC, WebP or PNG to JPG on Windows
Three steps, all on your PC. Nothing is uploaded.
-
Open Tools › Images › Convert images, or drop pictures or a folder.
-
Choose the format and, if you like, the size of the longest side.
-
Find the results next to the originals.
What you get
Built for the real document.
-
Resize without enlarging
Set the longest side; pictures are only ever made smaller.
-
Clean transparency
No dark fringes when resizing; JPG gets a white or black background.
-
Private by default
EXIF and GPS data are dropped; colour profiles are kept.
-
Folders at once
Drop a folder of pictures and convert them all in one go.
Your choices
Every choice, before it starts.
The Convert images dialog, drawn from the app with its defaults selected. The notes say what each choice does.
Convert to
12 more: AVIF, HEIC, GIF, BMP, TIFF, JXR, ICNS, TGA, QOI, PPM, HDR and EXR.
Size
Longest side in pixels. Never enlarged.
Quality
For JPG, AVIF, HEIC and JXR. Lower is smaller.
Background
Fills transparent areas in formats without transparency, such as JPG.
Saved with names like “photo.png” next to the originals.
Under the hood
How it decides.
What it reads, what it saves, and the rules it follows, taken from the app itself.
Reads 44 file types
.png.apng.jpg.jpeg.jpe.jfif.gif.webp.bmp.dib.tif.tiff.ico.tga.qoi.ppm.pgm.pbm.pnm.pam.hdr.exr.dds.ff.svg.svgz.heic.heif.avif.jxr.wdp.hdp.jxl.dng.cr2.cr3.nef.nrw.arw.orf.rw2.raf.pef.srw
Saves as
- photo.png
- photo (resized).jpg, when the format stays the same
- photo (converted).png, when a PNG is saved as PNG again
Never over another file, and never over your original.
Read by content
Pictures are recognised by what is inside, not only the extension. What the app cannot read itself goes to Windows’ own decoders.
Upright, true colour
Camera rotation is applied, and colour profiles are kept where the format holds one.
Location left behind
EXIF details such as GPS location are not copied into the new picture.
Animations
Only the first frame of an animated picture is converted, with a warning.
App or website?
Why not an online converter?
Online tools ask for your file first. Podalls Convert never does.
Good to know
Honest limits.
What this tool does not do, said plainly.
- Reading HEIC, AVIF, JPEG XL and camera RAW needs the matching free Windows extension.
- Saving as HEIC needs HEIF Image Extensions and HEVC Video Extensions from the Microsoft Store.
- WebP output is lossless.
- Animated pictures use their first frame.
First time? The install guide shows every screen, including the Windows warning.
Why won’t my HEIC photo open?
Windows needs the free HEIF Image Extensions from the Microsoft Store to read HEIC. Once installed, it just works.
How do I convert WebP to JPG or PNG?
Choose the WebP pictures, pick JPG or PNG, and convert. A whole folder can be done at once.
Does it remove location data from photos?
Yes. EXIF details, GPS location included, are not copied into the converted picture. Colour profiles are kept.
Can I resize pictures without changing the format?
Yes. Keep the same format and choose a size. The result is saved as “photo (resized).jpg” beside the original.
Is Convert images in Podalls Convert free?
Yes. Podalls Convert is free for personal and commercial use, with no account and no subscription. Every tool in it, including this one, comes in the same free download.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. Podalls Convert does the work on your PC and saves the result there. It only goes online to check for and download its own updates.
In the same free download
