How it works
Browsers don't have a built-in HEIC decoder, so this page loads a WebAssembly build of
libheif, the same open-source decoder most photo software uses, the first
time you convert a file. It decodes the HEIC's raw pixel data locally, draws it to a
canvas, and re-encodes that canvas as JPEG or PNG using the browser's own image encoder.
The library (about 1.3MB) loads once per visit and is cached by your browser after that.
Nothing is uploaded at any point, decoding, conversion, and download all happen in this browser tab. That matters here more than most tools, since HEIC files are almost always personal photos straight off a phone.
Common questions
Why do I need to convert HEIC at all?
HEIC is the default photo format on recent iPhones, but many websites, Windows apps, and older software still can't open it directly. Converting to JPG or PNG makes the photo universally viewable.
Does converting lose quality?
Converting to PNG is lossless. Converting to JPG re-encodes at high quality (92%), which is visually indistinguishable from the source in almost all cases, though technically one more generation of lossy compression than staying in HEIC.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. Decoding and conversion both happen in your browser using a WebAssembly build of libheif. Nothing is uploaded, which matters for personal photos.
