What happens to metadata?

Strip metadata by default for privacy where applicable. Photos: EXIF including GPS removed. Documents: author / edit history sanitized. Toggle if you need to preserve metadata.

Is the conversion lossy or lossless?

Depends on the source and target formats. PNG to JPG is lossy (re-encoded); PNG to WebP-lossless is lossless. The tool indicates which mode is used.

What’s the maximum file size I can convert?

Browser memory limits files to roughly 100MB-500MB depending on browser, OS, and available RAM. For larger files, use a desktop tool.

Does it preserve quality?

Yes for default settings. For maximum control, adjust quality slider or compression level. Lossy formats degrade with each re-encode — convert from the original whenever possible.

How does file size change?

Varies by format pair. JPG to WebP at same quality typically saves 25-35% file size. PNG to JPG saves 60-80% but is lossy. Lossless conversions preserve file size or grow it slightly.

Can I batch-convert files?

Browser-based tools handle one-at-a-time efficiently. For 100+ files, a CLI tool (ImageMagick, ghostscript, ffmpeg) is dramatically faster and scriptable.

What it does

Rotate a whole PDF or individual pages 90°, 180°, 270°. Saves a new copy, no upload, no account, no watermark. Quality of conversion depends on the algorithm, not the marketing — some converters silently downsample, recompress, or strip metadata.

Format conversion can introduce metadata leaks (EXIF, document properties) that expose location, author, or system info. The gap between “rough estimate” and “defensible number” is exactly where good tooling earns its keep — the math is reproducible, but knowing which inputs matter and what the result means is half the work.

Lossless formats (PNG, FLAC, WAV) for archival; lossy formats (JPG, MP3, MP4) for distribution. A common pitfall: re-compressing already-lossy files (cumulative quality loss). Treat the tool’s output as a starting point and validate against authoritative sources for any consequential decision.

Iterate or refine based on the result.

When to use this tool

Quick previews of how a file would look in a different format.
Ad-hoc conversions where the file isn’t sensitive enough to require local processing.
