    Your files are processed by your own browser and never sent to a server. You can check: open your browser's network tab, convert a file, and you will not see an upload. The site also works with your connection turned off once the page has loaded.

    How it works

    1. Choose your HEIC files, drop them onto the box, or paste them with Ctrl+V.
    2. Pick the output format and quality. JPG is the safe choice almost everywhere.
    3. Your browser decodes and re-encodes each photo on your own machine.
    4. Download them one at a time, or all at once.

    About this tool

    Every iPhone shoots HEIC by default, and almost nothing else opens it, not Windows Photo Viewer, not most websites, not half the apps you need to send it to. This converter turns HEIC and HEIF files into ordinary JPG, PNG or WebP entirely inside your browser. The decoder runs on your own machine, so the photo is never uploaded, never stored, and never seen by anyone but you. That matters more than it sounds: the files people most often need to convert are passport scans, documents photographed on a phone, and pictures of their children.

    Why does my iPhone make HEIC files?

    Apple switched the default camera format to HEIC in 2017 because it stores a photo at roughly half the size of an equivalent JPG. The saving is real, but support outside Apple's own software is still patchy years later, plenty of Windows software, web upload forms, older printers and government portals simply refuse the file.

    Converting to JPG makes the photo openable everywhere. The file gets bigger, because JPG is an older and less efficient format, and the conversion is lossy: the image is decoded and re-encoded, so re-converting the same file repeatedly will slowly degrade it. Convert once from the original and keep the HEIC if you want the archival copy.

    Can I stop my iPhone shooting HEIC?

    Yes. Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible makes the camera shoot JPG instead. You lose the storage saving, and it only affects photos taken after you change it, so you will still need to convert anything already on the phone.

    Is this actually private?

    The decoder is a WebAssembly build of libheif that your browser downloads once and then runs locally, the same way it runs any other page script. Your photo is read from disk into memory in the tab, converted, and offered back to you as a download. It is never sent anywhere, so there is no server that could keep it, leak it, or be compelled to hand it over. If you would rather verify that than take our word for it, open the network tab in your browser's developer tools and convert a file, there is no upload to see.

    Privacy

    Your files are never uploaded

    Every conversion happens inside your browser, on your own device. No server receives your file, so there is nothing for anyone to store, sell, lose in a breach, or be compelled to hand over. You can check: open your browser’s Network tab and convert something, there is no upload. The site also keeps working with your connection switched off.

    We collect nothing about you

    There are no accounts, no sign-up and no contact form. We do not ask for your name or your email address, and there is no database here holding anything about you.

    What is stored on your device

    Only preferences, such as the output format you last chose. That stays in your browser, is readable only by this site, and is removed if you clear site data.

    Hosting

    The site is served by Cloudflare Pages, which processes the technical information every browser sends with a request, an IP address and user agent, to serve pages and block abuse. That applies to page requests only. Your files are never part of a request.

    Analytics and advertising

    There is no analytics. The site carries advertising from Google AdSense to cover the cost of the domain. Google may set cookies or read a device identifier to choose and measure those ads, and you can review or change what it does at myadcenter.google.com and policies.google.com/technologies/ads. Advertising can never see your files, because your files never leave your device: the ad is a separate part of the page with no access to what you convert.

    Your choice about advertising

    If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you are asked before anything is stored on your device for advertising, and nothing is set until you answer. The message has three buttons and refusing is one of them, on the first screen, in one click, exactly like accepting. Refusing does not put the tools behind a wall and does not remove the advertising; it means the ads you see are chosen without a profile of you. You can change your answer whenever you like using the button at the end of this page, or by clearing this site’s data, which makes the message appear again. What Google does across all sites can be reviewed at myadcenter.google.com. None of this touches your files, which never leave your device to be seen by anyone, consenting or not.

    Terms

    Free to use

    For personal and commercial work alike, with no account and no watermark. Please do not try to disrupt the site or interfere with how it works for other people.

    Your files stay yours

    They never reach us, so we claim no rights over them and hold no copy of them.

    No warranty

    The tools are provided as they are. Conversion can fail on unusual or damaged files, and converting between formats can lose quality or detail, compressing a PDF, for instance, turns its text into part of an image. Keep your originals, and do not rely on this as the only copy of anything that matters. We are not liable for any loss arising from using the site.
