General Disclaimer

The information and services provided by ImageConvert ("we," "our," or "us") are offered on an "as is" and "as available" basis. By using our image conversion services, you acknowledge and agree to the terms outlined in this disclaimer.

Please read this disclaimer carefully before using ImageConvert. Your use of our service constitutes your acceptance of these terms. If you do not agree with any part of this disclaimer, please discontinue use of our services.

Service Limitations

Browser Compatibility

ImageConvert relies on modern web technologies including HTML5 Canvas API, FileReader API, and JavaScript ES6+. Our service is designed to work with current versions of major web browsers including:

  • Google Chrome (version 90+)
  • Mozilla Firefox (version 88+)
  • Safari (version 14+)
  • Microsoft Edge (version 90+)
  • Opera (version 76+)

We do not guarantee functionality on older browsers, Internet Explorer, or browsers with JavaScript disabled. Some features may not work properly on outdated browser versions. We recommend keeping your browser updated to the latest version for optimal performance and security.

Device and Performance Limitations

Image conversion performance depends on several factors:

  • Device Hardware: Processing speed varies based on your device's CPU, RAM, and available resources
  • Image Size: Larger images require more processing power and memory
  • Image Complexity: High-resolution or complex images may take longer to convert
  • Browser Resources: Other open tabs and applications may affect performance
  • Memory Limitations: Extremely large files may exceed browser memory limits

We cannot guarantee specific conversion times or that all files will be processable on all devices. Mobile devices and older computers may experience slower performance or memory limitations with large files.

Format Support and Compatibility

While we strive to support multiple image formats, certain limitations exist:

Browser-Dependent Format Support: Not all browsers support all image formats equally. For example:

  • WEBP support varies across browsers and operating systems
  • AVIF is a newer format with limited browser support
  • Some older browsers may not support certain conversion operations

PDF Conversion Limitations: PDF to image and image to PDF conversions have significant limitations in browser-based implementations. Full PDF processing requires additional libraries (PDF.js for reading, jsPDF for generation) which are not included in the basic implementation. The demonstration provides placeholder functionality for these features.

Metadata Handling: Image conversion typically removes EXIF data, color profiles, and other metadata. If you need to preserve metadata, please use professional software designed for that purpose.

Quality and Accuracy

Conversion Quality

We strive to provide high-quality image conversions, but certain factors may affect output quality:

  • Lossy Formats: Converting to JPG or WEBP uses compression that may reduce image quality
  • Transparency Loss: Converting images with transparency to JPG will replace transparent areas with a solid background (typically white)
  • Color Space: Color accuracy may vary depending on input and output formats
  • Compression Settings: We use default compression settings (0.95 quality for JPG) which balance quality and file size

Professional Use Warning: While ImageConvert produces high-quality results suitable for many purposes, it should not be considered professional-grade software for mission-critical applications, commercial printing, or situations where precise color accuracy is essential.

No Warranty of Fitness

We make no warranties that our service will meet your specific requirements or that converted images will be suitable for any particular purpose. Users should verify that converted images meet their quality and technical requirements before using them in important projects.

User Responsibilities

File Backup

Important: Always maintain backup copies of your original files. While our service is designed to be reliable, technical issues can occur. We are not responsible for any loss of data or files.
