They call it and in another way - a favicon - it went like this, from shortening two words, an icon and a favorite, which later became known as the selected icon. The image can be seen before the site address, displayed in tabs and bookmarks and in the address bar. If you do not add this icon, then the browser icon will take its place, which is not good, as it spoils the external beauty of the site. Also, a phavicon can be displayed and search engines, before the name and description of the site.

There are numerous ways to create icons

Online HEIC to JPEG Converter https://online-converting.com/blog/heic-to-jpeg/ Sat, 01 Sep 2018 19:00:51 +0000 https://online-converting.com/?p=2459 Based on the results of the conversion, we saw that users began to try to convert from a new format HEIC (this format is associated with the release of a new firmware iOS 11). This step from Apple made it difficult for users to share pictures, since most older devices will not support the new format.

We understand that it is urgent to begin supporting the HEIC format. And allow it to be converted to any common format, for example JPEG. Now our image converter supports and converts from HEIC to JPEG, and you can convert it to other available formats.

About the HEIC format

Images in the HEIC format represent a whole container with information. We are all used to the fact that JPEG stores only a picture in itself, while HEIC can contain both a single image and several separate images or a sequence of images, while it can be applied compression with loss of quality, or compression without loss, except this format can contain audio or text information along with images. Metadata is also recorded, for example, EXIF ​​(as in JPEG), and editing data (rotation, overlay, cropping).

Of course this is all cool, and if it goes to the masses it will be more convenient for everyone, and we will try to help in the conversion from HEIC to JPEG, if suddenly there is not a suitable program or device nearby.

And what if I have Android?

If you want to convert directly from your phone, we recommend that you use our Image Converter application, with it you can convert several pictures without any problems.

JPG to PDF Converter for Android https://online-converting.com/blog/jpg-to-pdf-app-android/ Tue, 27 Mar 2018 11:51:15 +0000 https://online-converting.com/?p=2224 Imagine that you decided to develop an application for converting from JPG, BMP, WEBP and PNG to PDF, which you think is useful for users, and developed it.

It’s a good function and sometimes useful, but what for? For example, sometimes banks ask for PDF instead of pictures and you have to try to collect 5 images, for example, JPG to PDF, this is the goal you set for yourself.

Next, you create the application anyway, and there arises a question concerning its promotion on Google Play.

You search it and find ... It turns out that your application has analogues and there are 120 of them ..., try typing "Image to PDF" on Google Play and see for yourself. 95% of applications have the same design with the only difference in colors, icons and the one who released it. It looks like a whole village of Indians had a task to release the application and place it on Google Play to get 100 installations in a year, because no one in their right mind will place the application and without trying to promote it. By the way, it's quite a good idea to place the application template and sell samples – it’s much more profitable.

Upon the whole, there is a trouble with this.

The second trouble is that after a month the application never appeared on Google Play, for the same reason, I believe - the niche is occupied by 1000% and nobody knows how to promote. That's why we decided to tell you about it here.

A small video to demonstrate the capabilities of our application (from PNG to PDF)

How to convert from JPG to PDF

You will need to make only a few simple steps to convert from JPG to PDF or from PNG to PDF:

  1. Add images, there are supported JPG, PNG, WEBP and BMP formats. These are native formats for Android. We support native formats to not make this converter online. If you have images that do not open in Android - you can use our online image converter.
  2. Click on the "Create" button at the bottom of the screen:
    JPG to PDF start convert
  3. Set the settings you want (maximum image size, password, color) and click on "Convert to PDF"
    PDF settings
  4. Wait for the result and proceed with the necessary further steps (you can rename your file, send it to someone, or open it to evaluate the result).
    JPG to PDF result

We understand that now the number of functions is minimal, but if the application turns out to be in demand, we will necessarily increase their number. If you have any suggestions – email us or in the comments at the bottom of this page.

Other application functions

Working with images:

  • Sort by name: A-Z, Z-A, by the time the files were created.
  • Change the order of saving (long click on the image, and then drag to a new location)
  • To delete one image (swipe to the right) or all images (in the "Clear list" menu).

PDF set up:

  • Color (as it is, shades of gray, black and white).
  • Set the maximum image size (proportions are preserved).
  • Set Password

Other features:

  • File renaming after generation (by default, a file with the current date and time is created).

Plans for the future:

  • Make a format choice option of images stored in PDF, for example, to make all files be saved in JPG format with the specified size reduction ratio, then the output will be a PDF file in which, say, is engaged a fully-featured converter from JPG to PDF, or, say, if you know that your images will look better when using the PNG format, then you just select it from the list and get the converter from PNG to PDF.
  • The next step is to specify the page format and make the image fit the page size, then, it will be ideal for printing.
