About the HEIC Converter
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the default photo format on iPhones since iOS 11. It produces smaller files than JPEG at similar quality, but it isn't widely supported — Windows, most websites, and many apps can't open HEIC files without extra codecs. This tool converts them to PNG or JPEG instantly in your browser.
Conversion uses a WebAssembly build of libheif. Your photos are never uploaded to a server — everything runs locally in your browser with no account required.
Once converted, compress the JPEG files with the Image Compressor before sending or uploading. For other format conversions (PNG to WebP, JPEG to PNG), the Image Converter handles the full range.
PNG vs. JPEG
PNG — Lossless, no quality loss, supports transparency. Larger file size.
JPEG — Smaller files. Quality 85–95% is ideal for photos. Some compression artifacts are normal.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the HEIC Converter free?
Yes — completely free. No account, no subscription, and no file size limit.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs in your browser using WebAssembly. Your photos never leave your device.
Do I need an account?
No account, no login, no email required.
Why can't Windows open HEIC files?
HEIC uses the H.265/HEVC codec, which requires a paid license on Windows. Converting to JPEG or PNG sidesteps this entirely.
How do I get HEIC files off my iPhone?
Connect your iPhone via USB and use Finder (Mac) or File Explorer (Windows) to transfer photos. You can also AirDrop them to a Mac or share via iCloud Drive.
Can I stop my iPhone from taking HEIC photos?
Yes. Go to Settings → Camera → Formats and choose "Most Compatible" — your iPhone will capture JPEG instead of HEIC going forward.
