Convert not working? Here's how to fix it

Most issues are small and fixable in seconds. Work through these in order.

1. The tool won't load

Reload the page or open it in a fresh tab. If an extension blocks scripts, use private (incognito) mode — the tool needs JavaScript, which is on by default in every modern browser.

2. A file won't upload

Check the format and size. The tool accepts JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, TIFF, and HEIC up to 50 MB. Confirm the file is a real image.

3. The converted image is grainy or soft

Some formats are lossy by design. Raise the quality control, or convert to a lossless format like PNG when fidelity matters.

4. Large files convert slowly

Conversion is local, so big files take longer. Close unused tabs and retry, or convert a smaller version.

5. Nothing downloads

Check your browser's download location and pop-up/file settings. Many browsers quietly block automatic downloads from new sites.

Still stuck?

Try a different current browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). Because the tool runs locally, a fresh environment usually resolves remaining edge cases.

Verdict

Most Convert problems are solved by a reload, a supported format, adjusting quality, or a private window.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my converted image low quality?

The output may be lossy at the current quality setting. Raise quality or use a lossless format like PNG.

Why is conversion slow?

Large files take longer locally. Close unused tabs or convert a smaller version.

Why won't my HEIC convert?

HEIC is supported, but confirm the file size is within the 50 MB limit and it's a valid image.
