Every popular image converter works the same way: you upload your photos to someone else's server, they convert them, you download the result. Your family pictures, identity documents and screenshots travel across the internet and sit, at least briefly, on machines you know nothing about. For a task your own device can do in milliseconds, that's absurd.
Pixloc takes the opposite approach. The conversion engine is your browser itself — the same technology it uses to display images on every web page. When you drop a file here, it is decoded and re-encoded in your device's memory and never transmitted anywhere. You can load the page, disconnect from the internet, and keep converting. That's not a marketing claim, it's an architectural fact — and you can verify it in your browser's network inspector.
The site is free, supported by non-intrusive advertising, and requires no account. It handles HEIC and AVIF photos, WebP images saved from the web, classic PNG and JPG, BMP scans, GIF frames and SVG vectors — in batches, with quality and resizing controls.
