Choosing an output format
Every format has a job. JPG is the universal choice for photos. PNG is lossless and keeps transparency, best for screenshots, logos and graphics. WebP gives smaller files for websites, with or without transparency. AVIF is more efficient still, but output is only available in browsers that can encode it. PDF puts one or more images into a document for forms and printing.
This general converter remembers the output format you used last, so it is handy if you convert the same kind of file regularly.
How to use the image converter tool
- Add images. Mix formats freely. Each file is detected by its content, not just its extension.
- Pick an output format. The options under Convert to change to match the format.
- Adjust size and quality. Optional: a quality level, a KB limit, or a maximum width and height.
- Download. Each file has its own download, or use Download all (ZIP).

Detected by content
Phones and websites sometimes give files the wrong extension, such as a WebP saved as .jpg. Myriadfile reads the first bytes of each file to identify the real format before decoding.
Troubleshooting
- A file shows an error
- It may be damaged, password-protected, or a format your browser cannot decode (for example AVIF in an outdated browser). Other files in the batch still convert.
- AVIF is not in the menu
- Your browser cannot encode AVIF. You can still convert AVIF files to other formats.
