What browser-based means
The converter uses browser features such as image decoding, canvas export and client-side ZIP/PDF generation. If a browser cannot read a specific codec, the conversion may fail instead of silently sending the file elsewhere.
Best formats for browser conversion
- PNG and JPEG are the safest compatibility choices.
- WebP is usually a good balance of quality and file size.
- AVIF and HEIC support can vary by browser and operating system.
FAQ
- Are files uploaded to a server?
FormatKit is designed for browser-based conversion where supported. Some formats depend on browser capabilities, and the privacy page explains current limitations. - Does every format work in every browser?
No. Browser support varies for HEIC, AVIF, TIFF and some export formats. If one format fails, try PNG, JPEG or WebP.
