What is iFormat?

A set of free online tools for converting, compressing and editing files — 80+ formats across images, documents, audio and video. No account, no tracking cookies, no ads.

Uploads run on isolated per-request workers over TLS and are deleted within the hour. Cropping and resizing happen on the canvas in your browser, so those files never leave your device at all.

Quality by default
Every tool preserves the original unless you ask it not to. PDF text stays vector and selectable; images keep their resolution and colour depth.
Exact sizes, not guesses
Give a ceiling — 150 KB, 2 MB, whatever the portal demands — and the encoder steps down until it fits, stopping at the highest setting that still clears it.
Checked against the specs
Format pages are reviewed against W3C for images and ISO/IEC for JPEG and PDF. See who reviews iFormat.io.
Desktop-grade AI
Background removal and upscaling run production models on our servers — results that match installed software, without the install.

Working with bigger files?

Free covers 50 MB without an account, 100 MB with one, and three files a day. Pro lifts that to 1 GB and batches of 20, with a priority queue behind it.

Frequently asked questions

Is iFormat really free?
Yes. Every tool on iFormat is free to use with a generous daily limit. Free accounts get 3 conversions per day with a 100 MB file-size cap. If you need more, Pro and Business plans raise those limits — but the tools themselves are never paywalled.

Do I need to create an account?
No. You can use any tool without signing up. Creating a free account lets you track your usage and unlocks a few convenience features, but it is completely optional.

Is my data secure?
All uploads travel over TLS encryption. The image resizer, cropper and the rotate, flip and blur tools work on the canvas in your browser, so nothing is uploaded at all. Everything else — conversion, compression, PDF, video, audio and the AI tools — runs on our servers and auto-deletes within 1 hour. We run no ads or third-party trackers.

What file formats does iFormat support?
iFormat supports 80+ formats across images (JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, TIFF, SVG, BMP, GIF, AVIF), documents (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, EPUB, MOBI), video (MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WebM), and audio (MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC, OGG). New formats are added regularly.

Can I convert or compress multiple files at once?
Yes. Most tools support batch processing — upload several files and convert or compress them all in one go. Pro and Business plans allow larger batches (up to 20 and 100 files respectively).

Does iFormat work on mobile devices?
Yes. Every tool is fully responsive and works in any modern browser on phones and tablets. No app install is needed — just open iformat.io in Safari, Chrome, or any other mobile browser.

How fast are conversions?
The image resizer and cropper are instant — they run in your browser with no upload wait. Server-side conversions (PDF, video, audio) typically finish in a few seconds for files under 50 MB, depending on complexity.

What makes iFormat different from other online converters?
Three things: privacy (nothing is kept — server-processed files auto-delete in 1 hour), breadth (80+ formats from images to video to developer tools in one place), and no dark patterns (no forced sign-ups, no ads, no surprise paywalls).
