  • TIFF files with the .tif or .tiff extension
  • GIF files with the .gif extension
  • BMP files with the .bmp extension
  • JPEG 2000 files with the .jp2 extension

  • JPEG
  • TIFF
  • GIF

Unsupported formats

If you try to add an unsupported file, Image Converter shows an error or skips the file in Bulk mode.

Unsupported formats may include documents, vector artwork, RAW files, videos, archives, or image types that macOS cannot decode through the app.

Output format selection

Image Converter does not have to preserve the original image format. You can choose the output format before converting.

For example, you can convert a .jpg file to .png, or convert a .png file to .jpeg.

JPEG quality

JPEG and JPEG 2000 outputs are saved using compression. This keeps file sizes reasonable while preserving visual quality.
