Convert almost any image format into another, online, fast, and free.
Faster than launching your own graphic editor, if it even supports that format (the not-so-frequent webp, for example)
The site also converts presentations, movies, and CAD files into multiple formats. 2D is well supported, and we particularly like the vector for mart available, such as AI to SVG or SVG to AI conversion.
Freed up to 25 conversions per day.

|---|---|---|---|
| Main use: CloudConvert is a browser-based converter for images, vector files, CAD files, documents, video and audio.

Converting a file means opening it and saving it again, which is slow for occasional format changes or for many files. | Main use: XnConvert is a desktop batch converter and editor. It applies chains of operations such as resize, crop, metadata edits and watermarks to whole folders. | Main use: Zamzar is also a browser-based converter for documents, images, audio and video. Its scope is close to CloudConvert, with a different quota and pricing model. |
| Format coverage: The site lists 212 formats in 11 categories, including 42 image formats, 10 vector formats and 3 CAD formats. This makes it useful for conversions such as AI to SVG. | Format coverage: XnConvert reads more than 500 formats and writes about 70. It is aimed at image files, not at office or CAD documents. | Format coverage: Zamzar states more than 1100 supported formats on its home page.
