What image format works everywhere?

JPG is the most universally accepted format. PNG is also widely supported. HEIC/WebP/AVIF often need converting for older websites.

Why do websites reject HEIC photos?

Many websites do not support HEIC (iPhone’s default format). Converting to JPG fixes most upload failures.

Is converting images online safe?

It can be safe if conversion happens in your browser and files are not stored. EasyPDF Studio tools are designed to be privacy-first.
