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.
Should I convert HEIC to PNG or JPG?
Choose PNG to edit, print or archive a photo with no further loss of detail. Choose JPG to share it: a JPG is many times smaller and opens almost everywhere. The HEIC to JPG converter does that, also in your browser.
Why is the PNG so much bigger than the HEIC photo?
HEIC uses very efficient lossy compression, while PNG stores every pixel exactly. A 12-megapixel iPhone photo of 2–3 MB as HEIC can easily become a PNG of 20 MB or more. Set a maximum width and height to make the PNGs smaller.
Does it convert Live Photos?
Only the still photo. A Live Photo’s movement is stored in a separate video file, which isn’t changed. When a HEIC file holds more than one image, its main image is converted.
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.
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. Turn it off to keep that data in the saved files, such as the date taken for your photo library. Colours are kept looking the same: re-encoded images, including iPhone photos in Display P3, 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. A file over the limit is skipped and the others are still added. 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.
