Frequently Asked Questions
Is my image data safe?
Absolutely. 100% of the conversion processing occurs inside your local web browser sandbox. No file chunks or metadata are transmitted to our servers or stored anywhere externally.
Will transparency be preserved?
Converting to lossless formats like PNG preserves full transparency (alpha-channel). If you are converting to JPEG, any transparent sections are rendered as solid background colors (customizable in output settings).
Can I convert multiple images at once?
Yes, you can drop or select multiple files simultaneously. Our tool processes and triggers the sequential download of all assets with a single click.
About CRW

How to open them? Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop (via Camera Raw), Apple Photos, or Canon's Digital Photo Professional.
Typical use: Professional photography using Canon cameras, allowing maximum flexibility in post-processing (exposure, white balance).
Origin: Developed entirely by Canon.
Modern alternatives: DNG (Digital Negative) is often used to standardize RAW files across different camera brands.
About ICO
What is an ICO file? An image file format specifically for computer icons in Microsoft Windows. A single ICO file usually contains multiple sizes (e.g., 16x16, 32x32) of the same image.
How to open an ICO file? Windows Explorer, web browsers, and image editors (sometimes requiring plugins).
Typical use of an ICO file: Windows desktop application icons and traditional website "favicons" (the small icon in a browser tab).
Origin of the ICO file: Introduced by Microsoft with Windows 1.0.
Modern alternatives for ICO: For web favicons, PNG and SVG are the modern standards. For Apple apps, the ICNS format is used.
