The format
What is a HEIC file?
High Efficiency Image Container, part of HEIF
HEIC is the format iPhones and iPads save photos in by default. It stores a photo in about half the space of a JPG at similar quality, and it can hold extras like depth data. Windows, many Android apps, and most websites still struggle to open it, which is why HEIC photos often need converting before you share or upload them.
What opens HEIC files
iPhone, iPad, and Mac (Photos and Preview), Safari, Windows 10 and 11 with Microsoft's HEIF and HEVC extensions, and recent Android phones. Most other browsers and upload forms can't open it.
FAQ
Questions, answered
Is the HEIC converter free?
Yes. It's completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark, and no limit on how many files you convert. It costs Ethical Tube nothing to run, because the conversion happens on your own device rather than on a server.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs inside your browser with the browser's built-in image codecs plus small WebAssembly encoders, so your files never leave your device. Once the page has loaded, it even works offline.
Does it work on iPhone, Android, Mac, and Windows?
Yes. It works in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari, on computers, iPhones, and Android phones.
What can I convert HEIC to?
JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, BMP, TIFF, and PDF. Pick the format after adding your file.
