What this tool does
- HEIC and HEIF from every iPhone since 2017, including the ones that announce themselves as “mif1” and that most readers turn away.
- Several photos at once: each comes out on its own, and beyond one the whole lot leaves as a ZIP archive.
- The metadata does not follow: not the camera, not the date, not the location your phone wrote into it.
- The decoder runs inside your tab: the photo goes nowhere, not even while it is being converted.
- Once converted, the photo stays in the workshop: you can carry on without dropping it again, resize it, crop it, watermark it.
What it does not do: A HEIC is decoded and re-encoded: that is one more generation of compression, and there is no other way to turn an HEVC image into a JPEG. To PNG there is no loss, but the file becomes three to five times heavier. A Live Photo loses its motion, and from a HEIC holding several images only the main one comes out. The decoder weighs a megabyte and a half, and is only downloaded when the first HEIC is dropped in.
Nothing is uploaded. Cut your network connection once this page has loaded: the tool keeps working. How to check it yourself.
