Frequently asked questions

Are my photos uploaded to a server?

No. The tool runs entirely in your web browser. Your images are read from your device, processed in memory and saved straight back to it. They are never uploaded, stored or seen by anyone.

What is a HEIC file?

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the format iPhones and iPads use for photos since iOS 11. It stores photos in about half the space of a JPG, but many apps, websites and Windows PCs can’t open it, so converting to JPG makes a photo easy to share.

Will converting HEIC to JPG reduce quality?

At the default quality of 90 the difference isn’t visible. JPG files are larger than HEIC for the same quality. Choose PNG if you need a lossless copy, though PNG files are much larger.

What software decodes the HEIC photos?

libheif and libde265, open-source libraries licensed under the LGPL-3.0, compiled to WebAssembly so they run in your browser. Their licences and links to their source code are in /vendor/libheif/NOTICE.txt on this site.

How can I stop my iPhone saving photos as HEIC?

In Settings › Camera › Formats, choose “Most Compatible”. New photos are then saved as JPG. Photos you’ve already taken stay HEIC, which is what this converter is for.

Does it remove GPS location and other metadata?

Yes, by default. Photos often carry hidden EXIF data such as the GPS location where they were taken, the date and the camera or phone model. “Remove metadata” is on unless you turn it off, so the images you share don’t reveal where you were. Colours are kept looking the same: re-encoded images are converted to standard sRGB, and files kept in their original form keep their colour profile.

Can I process many images at once?

Yes. Add as many images as you like, up to 50 MB each and 500 MB in total. Each one gets its own result and download link, and “Download all” saves them together as a ZIP file.

Is it really free?

Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit. Because all the work happens on your own device, there are no servers to pay for.
