Every format your iPhone can't open. Every format the web won't accept. Converted in seconds, without your photos ever leaving your device. convertX turns any image into exactly the file you need: HEIC into JPG for that upload form, WebP into PNG you can actually edit, AVIF from the modern web into anything, whole PDFs into images and back. Why convertX? • 100% on-device. Your photos are never uploaded to a server. Most converter apps round-trip through the cloud. convertX works in airplane mode. • Every format that matters: JPG, PNG, HEIC, WebP, AVIF, GIF, TIFF, BMP, ICO, plus SVG, RAW (DNG, CR2 and more) and multi-page PDF import. • Batch without limits: convert a whole album in one run. One run, one credit, not per-photo charges. • Convert from anywhere: tap Share in Photos, Safari, Mail or Files and send images straight to convertX. • Strip EXIF metadata on export. Share photos without location data. • Quality and size controls with a live size estimate before you convert. • PDF both ways: images into a single PDF, or every page of a PDF out as images. • Extras: Base64 encoder/decoder, conversion history, full iPad support. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick images from Photos or Files or share them straight into convertX 2. Choose the output format and quality 3. Convert. Save to Photos, Files, or share anywhere. FREE & PRO Your first 5 conversion runs are free. Each run can be a whole batch. convertX Pro unlocks unlimited conversions: monthly or yearly (with a 3-day free trial), or a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage anytime in Settings. Private by design. No account. No tracking. Made for iOS 26.
