HEIC → JPEG
iPhones save photos as HEIC, which is small but which many programs and websites cannot open. Here you convert them to JPEG or WebP without uploading anything anywhere.
This tool is in beta — always check the result.
Your file stays on your device: nothing is uploaded
How it works
HEIC decoding uses your operating system’s own codec rather than a library shipped with the page: this is a licensing decision, because the only mature WebAssembly implementation is LGPL, which is incompatible with how this app is distributed. As a result the tool works wherever the system can open HEIC — Safari on iPhone, iPad and Mac, and Chrome on Windows with the HEVC extensions — and where it cannot, it says so clearly instead of failing obscurely. The iOS and Android apps have no such limit: there the system decoder is always available.
Your files are never uploaded. Anywhere.
Not to a server of ours, not to a third party, never. When you pick a file it stays in your browser’s memory: it is read, processed and written back on your device, and you save the result yourself. There is no path that takes it elsewhere, because there is no server to send it to.
- Processed locallyFormats are handled by WebAssembly code running in your browser, not by a remote service.
- Nothing to upload, nothing to wait forOther services send your file to a server and then send it back to you. Here the file never leaves: there is no upload to wait for.
- No accountNo sign-up, no email, no daily limits to get around by paying.
- No files to deleteOthers promise to erase your files after an hour. We have nothing to erase: they never reached us.
