What stays on your device
Image Converter reads the file you choose, decodes and re-encodes it in the browser, and triggers a download. There is no Looty Tools conversion endpoint that receives your image contents for this workflow.
What still happens in the browser
JavaScript must run. Large images may use significant memory. Some formats require browser decoding support. Those limits are local resource and capability limits, not upload limits.

App Store Screenshot Resizer also processes screenshots locally. Images to PDF can include HEIC among other formats when you need a multi-page PDF instead of a single converted image.
