Image Converter
1What image formats can I convert?
You can convert JPG/JPEG, PNG, and WebP images to JPG, PNG, or WebP. You can also combine supported images into a single PDF file. Browser capabilities can vary, so keep your original files.
2How does the image conversion process work?
All conversion is processed directly in your browser using JavaScript. Your files are never uploaded to our servers, ensuring complete privacy and faster processing. Simply upload your images, select the desired output format, and click convert.
3Can I convert multiple images at once?
Yes. You can upload multiple images of the same detected input format and convert the batch to one selected output format. Multiple converted files can be downloaded as a ZIP archive.
4How do I combine images into a PDF?
Upload multiple images, arrange them in the desired order using drag and drop, and click 'Convert to PDF'. All images will be combined into a single PDF file with each image on a separate page.
5What's the maximum file size for images?
Each image file can be up to 10MB. For PDF creation, the total size of all images should not exceed 50MB for optimal performance.
6What is the auto-rotation feature?
Our auto-rotation feature automatically detects and corrects photo orientation using EXIF data. This is especially useful for iPhone photos that appear sideways. The feature reads the camera's orientation information and rotates images to display correctly, eliminating the need to manually rotate photos.
7How does metadata removal work?
Converted JPG, PNG, and WebP files are newly encoded by the browser rather than copied byte-for-byte. This output does not include the source EXIF block, such as GPS and camera information. Always verify sensitive files before sharing.
8Can I turn off auto-rotation?
Yes. Auto-rotation can be switched off. Metadata is not copied into converted image output because the browser creates a newly encoded file.
PDF to Image
1What PDF formats are supported?
We support standard PDF files (version 1.4 and above). However, password-protected or encrypted PDFs cannot be processed. The maximum file size is 50MB.
2What image formats can I convert PDF pages to?
You can convert PDF pages to JPG (JPEG) or PNG format. JPG is recommended for web use due to smaller file sizes, while PNG is better for printing due to lossless compression.
3How does PDF to image conversion work?
Upload your PDF file, select the desired output format (JPG or PNG), and click 'Start Conversion'. Each page will be converted to a separate image file. You can download individual pages or all pages as a ZIP file.
4What's the quality of the converted images?
Pages are rendered at a 2× PDF.js scale. PNG uses lossless image compression and is often clearer for text and diagrams, while JPG at high quality usually creates smaller files for photo-heavy pages. Output pixel dimensions depend on the PDF page size.
5How long does PDF conversion take?
Conversion time depends on page count, page complexity, browser, memory, and device performance. Processing occurs in your browser and no PDF contents are uploaded to BravoConvert.
Smart Features
1Why are my iPhone photos appearing sideways?
iPhone and other smartphones save orientation information in EXIF data rather than physically rotating the image. Some applications don't read this data correctly, causing photos to appear sideways. Our auto-rotation feature fixes this by reading the EXIF orientation data and physically rotating the image.
2What EXIF data is removed for privacy?
We remove all EXIF metadata including GPS coordinates (location where photo was taken), camera make and model, date and time, camera settings (ISO, aperture, shutter speed), and other technical data. This ensures your privacy when sharing photos online.
3Does metadata removal affect image quality?
Re-encoding can change file size and may slightly change image quality for lossy JPG or WebP output. The source EXIF block is not copied to the converted output.
4Which smartphones benefit most from auto-rotation?
All modern smartphones including iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, and others benefit from auto-rotation. This feature is particularly useful for photos taken in portrait mode or when the phone was rotated during capture.
5Is the auto-rotation feature safe for professional use?
Yes, our auto-rotation feature is safe for professional use. It reads standardized EXIF orientation values (1-8) and applies the correct rotation mathematically. This ensures accuracy and preserves image quality while fixing orientation issues.
