HEIC Tools
Everything for iPhone HEIC photos: convert to JPG, PNG, PDF or WebP, view and strip metadata — all locally in your browser.
Every HEIC tool here runs in your browser — nothing uploads. Convert iPhone photos to JPG for compatibility, PNG for lossless edits, PDF for documents or WebP for the web; view or strip metadata first if you like. Conversion is one-way: these tools read HEIC but never create it, and output is always SDR.
Honest limits
- One direction only — these tools read HEIC; none of them can create HEIC files.
- HDR gain maps are ignored across the family; output is standard SDR.
Need more than a browser can do? Desktop browsers go further than phones — and Media Moana converts at scale on hosted infrastructure.

Frequently asked questions
Is this safe? Do my photos get uploaded?
No upload happens — ever. HEIC conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly. Your files never leave your device, nothing is stored on any server, and the tool even keeps working if you go offline after the page loads. That's also why there are no file size limits, no queues and no sign-up.
What is a HEIC file?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the format iPhones and iPads have used by default since iOS 11. It compresses photos with the HEVC video codec, producing files roughly half the size of an equivalent JPEG at the same quality. The catch: many websites, Windows apps, upload forms and older software still refuse HEIC files, which is why converting to JPG or PNG remains so common.
Which HEIC tool do I need?
To make photos open everywhere: HEIC to JPG. For lossless quality or transparency workflows: HEIC to PNG. To submit photos as a document: HEIC to PDF (merges many photos into one file). For the web: HEIC to WebP. To check or remove location data first: EXIF Viewer and Remove EXIF.
Can I convert JPG back to HEIC?
No — every tool in this family decodes HEIC; none of them encode it. Browser-side HEVC encoding isn't realistically available, and your iPhone already creates HEIC natively. If you need HEIC output on a computer, macOS Preview and iOS Shortcuts can export it.
Can I convert multiple HEIC photos at once?
Yes — drop in as many files as you like. Because conversion happens on your own computer instead of a server, there is no per-file fee, no daily cap and no waiting in line. Files are processed one after another, and you can download each result as it finishes or grab the whole batch as a single ZIP.
Is there a file size or quantity limit?
There is no hard limit. Server-based converters cap uploads because your files consume their bandwidth and CPU; here HEIC decoding happens on your machine, so the only practical limit is your device's memory. Desktop browsers comfortably handle very large files and big batches.
