Most "free" converters make you upload your file to their server first. That means a copy of whatever
you're converting, whether it's a photo, a PDF, someone's ID, or a document with real information in it, leaves your
device and lands on a computer you have no control over. Maybe they delete it right away like they claim.
Maybe they don't. Maybe it sits in a log somewhere, or gets swept up if that server's ever breached. You're
just trusting a stranger. Lotus Convert never asks you to make that bet. Every tool here
runs using capabilities your browser already has built in, the same rendering and decoding engine it uses
to display web pages and play videos, so your file gets converted directly on your own device. It never
leaves. You could turn your Wi-Fi off after the page loads and every tool here would still work fine.
Here's what's actually happening under the hood: image conversion uses your browser's own Canvas tool to read
the picture and spit it back out in a new format. Merging and compressing PDFs runs on a PDF library that
loads into your browser and works locally. Turning PDF pages into images uses your browser's built-in PDF
renderer. Background removal grabs a small AI model once (so after that it can run offline) and does the rest
on your device. The only thing that ever touches the network is loading the tool itself and the ads. Your
actual files never do.
Runs entirely on your device
Convert an image to whatever format you actually need.
Drop in a PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, BMP, AVIF, SVG, or HEIC file, and pick the format you want back. Your browser handles the conversion itself, so the file never gets uploaded anywhere.
Nothing here yet. Drop an image up top and it'll show up here.

How this actually works
Here's the short version: your browser decodes the image, draws it onto a hidden canvas, then spits it
back out as PNG, JPG, or WebP. It's all done with tools already built into the browser. Nothing gets sent anywhere,
so it doesn't matter if you're converting a random screenshot or something more private like a scanned ID.
Can I convert WebP to PNG or JPG?
Yep. Drop in a WebP and pick PNG or JPG up top.
What's the file size limit?
No hard limit on our end. Since nothing's uploading, the only thing holding you back is your own device's memory.
Does converting lose quality?
PNG is lossless, so no quality loss there. JPG and WebP use the quality slider. Push it higher for more detail, but a bigger file.
Can I convert HEIC to JPG in the browser?
Yes. Drop in a HEIC (that's the format iPhones save photos as) and pick JPG or PNG. Converts locally, so it's a solid option if you're dealing with a personal photo library.

About Lotus Convert
This is a small set of tools built by one woman who got tired of "free" converters that make you
upload a file just to change its format. Everything here runs in your own browser instead, so there's
no server in the middle holding your files. No huge company behind it, no investors, just something
built to work the way a tool like this should.
The site is supported by ads (you'll see them on the page) rather than accounts or subscriptions —
that's what keeps every tool free with no file limits and no watermark. See the
privacy policy for details on how those ads work.
