Convert HEIC/HEIF photos locally in your browser. Files are processed on your device and are not uploaded to any server.

How it works
We load the open-source heic2any library inside your browser. When you select a HEIC photo, the library reads the raw ISO/IEC 23008-12 file structure, decodes the HEIF compression algorithm in WebAssembly/JS, and writes it onto a standard canvas from which we export the final PNG/JPG.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my browser lagging during conversion?
HEIC is a highly compressed file format. Decoding it in JS without native OS support is CPU-intensive. Large images (e.g., 48MP photos) require significant memory and processing power, which runs entirely on your browser thread.
Are my high-res photos uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion library is loaded in your browser and processes the files locally. Your photos never leave your device.
Privacy Guaranteed
All file conversions and processing are executed locally inside your browser using client-side JavaScript. We never upload your files, images, videos, or private data to any server. Your information remains 100% secure.
