We support the most common image formats including JPG/JPEG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC/HEIF (iPhone photos). Each tool lists its supported input and output formats.

Can I process multiple images at once?

Yes! All our tools support batch processing. Upload multiple images, apply your desired changes, and download them individually or as a convenient ZIP file.

How do I convert WebP to JPG?

How do I convert iPhone photos (HEIC)?

Use our HEIC to JPG converter. Upload your HEIC/HEIF photos from your iPhone, select the output quality, and download the converted JPG files that work everywhere.

How much can images be compressed?

Compression results vary based on the image content and current optimization. Typically, you can reduce file size by 30-80% while maintaining good visual quality. Our compressor uses smart algorithms to balance quality and size.

What resize presets are available?

We offer presets for social media (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter), web use, and common dimensions. You can also enter custom dimensions while maintaining aspect ratio or freely resize.

Can I crop images to specific ratios?

Yes! The crop tool supports free cropping as well as preset aspect ratios like 1:1 (square), 16:9 (widescreen), 4:3, and more. Perfect for preparing images for different platforms.

How do I add a watermark?

Use the Add Watermark tool. Upload your image, enter your watermark text, customize the font, size, color, and opacity, then position it where you want. Great for protecting your photos.

What is WebP format and why use it?

WebP is a modern image format developed by Google that provides superior compression. WebP images are typically 25-35% smaller than JPG while maintaining the same quality. Great for faster websites.

Does it work offline?

Once the page is loaded, all tools work without an internet connection. The processing is done entirely in your browser, so you can edit images even without internet access.

What happens to image quality during conversion?

You can control the output quality for most conversions. Higher quality means larger file sizes. For most uses, 80-90% quality provides an excellent balance between quality and file size.

Can I rotate and flip images?

Yes! The Rotate & Flip tool lets you rotate images by 90°, 180°, or 270° degrees, and flip them horizontally or vertically. Perfect for fixing orientation issues.

What browsers are supported?

Pictey works in all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. We recommend using the latest version of your browser for the best experience.

Can I use Pictey on mobile?

Yes! Pictey is fully responsive and works on smartphones and tablets. The interface adapts to your screen size, making it easy to edit images on any device.

Is there an image size limit?

Since processing happens in your browser, the limit depends on your device's memory. Most devices handle images up to 20-50 megapixels without issues. For very large files, try processing in batches.
