Working with Images

Convert Image Formats on iPhone & iPad

FileBrowser lets you convert images on your iPhone or iPad to different formats such as JPG, PNG, HEIC, or TIFF, making it easy to prepare photos for sharing, storage, or compatibility.

Convert a Single Image

To convert an image, open the file’s menu and choose Convert. This option is also available on the image viewer menu if you open the image first. Images in the Photo Library need to be copied elsewhere before conversion.

Convert your image to one of the following formats:

  • JPG
  • HEIC
  • TIFF

Note: This will create a copy of the file in the same folder.

Convert Images is only available in FileBrowserGO and FileBrowser Professional.
