Convert

Convert images between formats, resize them, and shrink their file size.

GRIDFORM Studio in the Convert tool: a source image listed with its dimensions and file size, and output format and compression controls in the right rail.

When to reach for it

Use for any image file-format change (HEIC or TIFF to PNG, PNG to WebP, anything to PDF), to make images smaller for the web, or to cap their dimensions. Reads PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, BMP, ICO, AVIF and SVG everywhere, plus HEIC, TIFF and PSD on macOS. Not for logo deliverable packages; use Lockup for those.

What lands on disk

One converted file per source per format. With several formats, each gets its own subfolder (PNG/, WebP/, …).

Without the window

The same tool from a terminal or an agent. Identical output either way, because the app and the command line run the same code.
