Your privacy is our mission. Most files are converted right in your browser and never leave your device. Only large files, or formats a browser cannot process, are sent to our server over an encrypted connection — they are never stored, never shared, and deleted as soon as your download is ready.
What Is a JPG File?
JPG is the standard format for photographs: it shrinks an image to a fraction of its raw size by discarding detail the eye barely notices. Every camera, phone, browser and printer can read it. JPG is a lossy format: it makes files small by discarding detail that is hard to notice. Converting it to another format cannot bring that detail back.
