PNG is lossless and works in every browser and app, while HEIC only plays nicely inside Apple's ecosystem — which is why a converter matters. 2. **Is HeicToPng.org really free and unlimited?** Yes. No daily limits, paywalls, or sign-ups. Batch up to 100 HEIC files. 3. **Is it safe to convert private photos?** Yes. Client-side processing — photos convert in your browser, never uploaded. 4. **How do I open HEIC files on Windows?** Windows doesn't natively support HEIC. Convert to PNG via this tool. 5. **Does converting HEIC to PNG lose quality?** No — PNG is lossless; visual quality identical to source. 6. **Can I convert multiple HEIC files at once?** Yes. Up to 100 images per batch, delivered as ZIP. 7. **Does PNG support transparent backgrounds?** Yes. If original HEIF/HEIC has transparency, it's preserved. 8. **Can I use this on iPhone or Android?** Yes — works in mobile Safari and Chrome. 9. **HEIC vs PNG difference?** HEIC = Apple space-saving; PNG = universal, lossless, transparent. --- ## HEIC to JPG Converter URL: https://heictopng.org/heic-to-jpg ### Hero Your iPhone shoots in HEIC, but the upload form, photo contest, or CMS you're dealing with only accepts `.jpg`. Convert HEIC to JPG right in your browser — quality you control, EXIF intact, nothing uploaded to a server. ### When JPG Is the Right Choice (and When PNG Isn't) - **JPG is roughly 10× smaller than lossless PNG for photographs.** A 4032×3024 iPhone photo lands at ~12 MB as lossless PNG and ~1.2 MB as JPG at quality 85. For email attachments, web-upload forms, and social uploads, smaller wins — JPG's lossy DCT compression was designed for exactly this. - **Legacy upload forms and CMSes still expect .jpg.** Insurance portals, job applications, school submissions, WordPress media uploaders, print shops — many predate HEIC (released 2015, iOS default 2017). When a form silently rejects a photo, JPG is the near-universal fallback. - **iOS itself transcodes HEIC to JPG when you share.** When you attach a HEIC photo to an email from iPhone, Apple's own Mail app silently converts it to JPG. We do the same transcode, just in one place for a whole batch. ### How to Convert HEIC to JPG (3 steps) 1. **Drop your HEIC or HEIF files in.** Drag-and-drop one photo or a hundred. The picker also accepts `.heif` — same format, different extension. 2. **Pick a JPG quality (default 90).** 85–90 is the sweet spot — visually lossless to most eyes, ~40% the bytes of quality 100. Push to 95 for print, drop to 75 for chat thumbnails. 3. **Download a single JPG or a ZIP of JPGs.** Batches preserve original filenames — `IMG_1234.heic` becomes `IMG_1234.jpg`. ### Comparison: HEIC to JPG, Five Methods - Email-to-self (iOS auto-converts): tiny batches only, slow, routes via Apple + mail server. - macOS Preview → Export As JPEG: built-in (Mac), one-at-a-time. - Terminal `sips -s format jpeg`: very fast, developer-only. - Upload-based online converters: files leave your device, daily caps common. - **This browser-based converter**: no install, bulk + ZIP, files stay local, scales with your CPU, no daily cap. ### FAQ (HEIC to JPG) 1. **Is JPG the same as JPEG?** Yes — different extensions, same format. `.jpg` became common because older Windows/DOS filesystems limited extensions to three characters. 2. **Will I lose quality converting HEIC to JPG?** A little — JPG is lossy by design (smaller files). At quality 85–90 the JPG is indistinguishable from the HEIC to most eyes. For pixel-exact preservation, use HEIC to PNG instead. 3. **What quality level should I pick?** 90 (default) is right ~95% of the time. Push to 95 for print, drop to 75 for thumbnails, avoid below 60 (blocking artifacts). 4. **Why is my JPG sometimes larger than the original HEIC?** HEIC uses HEVC (H.265) which is newer and more efficient than JPG's DCT. Re-encoding into JPG at high quality can grow the file. Drop the quality slider if size matters. 5. **Does the JPG keep EXIF — date, GPS, camera model?** If "Preserve EXIF metadata" is on, yes. Toggle "Remove GPS location" to keep everything except GPS. 6. **Does my iPhone already save photos as JPG?** Only if Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible is set — and that only affects future shots. Existing HEIC files need a converter. 7. **Does this work with `.heif` too?** Yes. HEIC and HEIF share the same container and HEVC encoding; this tool decodes both identically. 8. **Is a JPG from this tool good enough for print?** At quality 95+, yes — indistinguishable from the source for photo prints up to poster size. 9. **Is conversion here actually private?** Yes — runs entirely in the browser via JavaScript + WebAssembly. Disconnect WiFi after the page loads and keep converting offline. --- ## HEIC to WebP Converter URL: https://heictopng.org/heic-to-webp ### Hero Need WebP for your website, app build, or modern CDN? Convert HEIC to WebP right in your browser — pick lossy for files about 30% smaller than JPG at the same visual quality, or flip on lossless WebP for an exact, editable copy. Nothing is uploaded. ### Why WebP Specifically (Not Just Another JPG) - **WebP at quality 90 is roughly 25–35% smaller than JPG at the same visual quality.** WebP's VP8 lossy compression handles photographs more efficiently than JPG's older DCT. Material savings on a homepage carousel, a product gallery, or a CDN-served portfolio. - **Lossless WebP is ~50% smaller than lossless PNG.** Most converters silently force you into lossy WebP. This one supports true lossless WebP via the libwebp WASM encoder — exact pixels preserved at roughly half the size of the equivalent PNG. Right answer for graphics, screenshots, illustrations, anything you'll re-edit later. - **Smaller images mean better Core Web Vitals (and SEO).** LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) is one of Google's ranking signals, and image bytes are usually the bulk of LCP. Switching from HEIC's iPhone-only delivery to WebP's universally-supported delivery — at meaningfully fewer bytes — is one of the highest-leverage changes you can make to a Lighthouse score. ### How to Convert HEIC to WebP (3 steps) 1. **Drop your HEIC or HEIF files in.** Drag-and-drop one image or a hundred. 2. **Pick lossy or lossless WebP.** Default is lossy at quality 90 — right for ~95% of web photo workflows. Toggle "Lossless WebP" in Advanced Settings for editing-grade output (illustrations, sharp text, anything destined for further retouching). 3. **Download a single `.webp` or a ZIP of WebPs.** Filenames preserved — `IMG_1234.heic` becomes `IMG_1234.webp`. ### Comparison: Producing WebP from HEIC - Photoshop / Affinity Photo: install needed, single-file workflow, paid. - ImageMagick / cwebp CLI: developer-only, fast, scriptable. - Two-step (HEIC → JPG → WebP): double-lossy, quality bleed. - Upload-based online converters: bandwidth-bound, files leave device. - **This browser-based converter**: no install, single-step (HEIC straight to WebP, no JPG intermediate), supports true lossless WebP, files stay local. ### FAQ (HEIC to WebP) 1. **Lossy or lossless WebP — which should I pick?** Lossy at quality 90 for photographs (smaller, indistinguishable). Lossless for screenshots, illustrations, sharp-edged graphics, or anything destined for further editing. 2. **Why is my browser still requesting JPG fallbacks?** WebP has been supported in every major browser since 2020 (Chrome since 2010, Firefox 65, Safari 14, Edge 18). If a CMS still serves JPG fallbacks, that's a CMS configuration choice, not a browser limitation. 3. **Does WebP support transparency?** Yes — both lossy and lossless WebP support an alpha channel. If the source HEIC has transparency, it carries over. 4. **Does WebP preserve EXIF?** Yes when "Preserve EXIF metadata" is on. WebP's standard `EXIF` chunk holds the same data block JPG would. 5. **Are there any tools that don't support WebP yet?** A handful of legacy CMSes and email clients (older Outlook, some intranet portals) lag. For those, JPG remains the safer pick — use HEIC to JPG instead. 6. **Lossless WebP vs PNG — when do I pick which?** WebP if storage/bandwidth matters and the consumer is a modern browser. PNG if the image will be opened in older software, embedded in a PDF, or printed. --- ## HEIC to PDF Converter URL: https://heictopng.org/heic-to-pdf ### Hero An insurance form, an expense report, or a school portal asks for "one PDF with all your photos." Drop your iPhone HEIC files in — get back a single multi-page PDF (one image per page), or a separate PDF per photo if that's what you need. Conversion happens in your browser; nothing is uploaded. ### Why HEIC to PDF Specifically - **Submission systems demand one file, not twelve attachments.** Insurance claims, mortgage applications, school enrollments, expense reports, government forms — almost all of them ask for "one PDF." Sending twelve HEICs as separate attachments either gets bounced or annoys the reviewer. - **PDF is read-only by default — proof of what you submitted.** Unlike JPG (trivial to edit and re-save), a PDF carries a clear audit trail. Useful when something might end up in a dispute or audit. - **Page order is preserved — your photos aren't shuffled by random hashes.** Drop `1.heic`, `2.heic`, `3.heic`; you get a PDF with page 1 / page 2 / page 3 in that order. ### How to Convert HEIC to PDF (3 steps) 1. **Drop your HEIC or HEIF files in (in the order you want pages).** Up to 100 photos. Order on drop = page order in the final PDF. 2. **Pick combined or per-file (and page size).** Default: one combined PDF, fit-to-image (no margins), auto orientation. For paper-printable submissions, switch to A4 or US Letter. Uncheck "Combine all pages into one PDF" for one-PDF-per-image. 3. **Download a single PDF (or a ZIP of PDFs).** Combined: `heic-to-pdf-{timestamp}.pdf`. Per-file: ZIP containing `IMG_1234.pdf`, `IMG_1235.pdf`, etc. ### Bulk HEIC → PDF — Up to 100 Photos in One Document - Local execution — never uploads, never times out on slow networks. - Default Max-dimension caps long side at 2048 px — keeps PDFs under inbox limits (typically 25 MB on Gmail/Outlook). Override in Advanced Settings if you need full resolution. - 30 receipt photos for a quarterly expense report; 20 inspection photos for a property claim; 15 identity documents for a visa file — drop the batch, walk away, download one PDF. ### FAQ (HEIC to PDF) 1. **One PDF or one per image — which should I pick?** One PDF for submissions ("upload your supporting documents as a single PDF"). Per-image when each photo is a separate piece of evidence reviewed independently. 2. **What page size — fit-to-image, A4, US Letter?** Fit-to-image preserves photo aspect ratio, no margins (best for screen-only review). A4 or US Letter when the recipient might print or expects standard pagination. 3. **Why is my PDF smaller than the sum of HEICs?** Photos are re-encoded as JPG (default quality 90) inside the PDF, then capped at the Max-dimension setting. The output is sized for typical email attachments and submission portals, not full-resolution archival. 4. **Does the PDF embed EXIF / GPS?** No — PDFs don't carry image EXIF blocks the way JPG does. If you need EXIF preserved, use HEIC to JPG instead. 5. **Can I rearrange page order after generation?** Not in this tool — drop the files in the order you want them. Re-ordering after the fact is what desktop PDF editors (Preview on Mac, Acrobat) are for. 6. **Is the PDF text-searchable / OCR'd?** No — these are image-based PDFs. For OCR, use Adobe Acrobat, macOS Preview's built-in OCR, or a dedicated OCR tool after generation. 7. **Is there a file count limit?** 100 photos per batch — keeps memory usage reasonable across browsers and devices. For larger sets, run multiple batches and merge with a desktop PDF tool. --- ## HEIC to MP4 Converter URL: https://heictopng.org/heic-to-mp4 ### Hero A single HEIC file holds a photo, not a video. This tool lines up your iPhone photos and encodes them into one MP4 slideshow you can post to TikTok, Reels, or Stories — right in your browser, with nothing uploaded to a server. ### What "HEIC to MP4" Means - **A still HEIC has no motion to extract.** A regular iPhone photo saved as `.heic` is a single frame. To get an MP4, the photo is shown on screen for a few seconds and encoded as video — this tool turns one photo, or a stack, into a slideshow. - **Several photos become one shareable clip.** Drop in a handful of HEIC photos and they play one after another as a single MP4 — the vertical video file TikTok, Reels, and Stories expect, instead of a folder of images an app may reshuffle or reject. - **Live Photos are a separate case.** The 1.5 seconds of motion in a Live Photo lives in a paired `.mov` file, not the `.heic`. This tool builds slideshows from still frames; for real motion you need the `.mov`. ### How to Convert HEIC to MP4 (3 steps) 1. **Add your HEIC photos in order.** Up to 20. They play top to bottom; reorder with the up/down arrows before encoding. 2. **Set seconds per photo and video shape.** 1–5 seconds each; 9:16 for TikTok/Reels/Stories, 1:1 for a square post, or 16:9 for landscape. A photo that doesn't match the shape sits on a blurred zoom of itself (Instagram-style), or solid black/white bars. 3. **Create and download the MP4.** Encoded on your device (WebCodecs + Mediabunny) at 1080p, 30 fps, silent. Preview it inline, then download a standard `.mp4` that uploads to any social app. ### Output Specifics - H.264 (avc1) video in an MP4 container, 1080p on the long side, constant 30 fps, no audio (a photo carries no audio; add music in the app you post from). - Up to 20 photos per video; no watermark, no sign-up, no daily cap. Both the HEIC decode and the H.264 encode run in the browser — nothing is uploaded. - Requires a browser with WebCodecs H.264 encoding (Chrome, Edge, Safari, desktop Firefox; the common exception is Firefox on Android). ### FAQ (HEIC to MP4) 1. **Does this pull the motion out of my Live Photo?** No. A Live Photo is a still `.heic` plus a separate `.mov` that holds the 1.5s of motion; the `.heic` alone has none. This tool makes a slideshow from the still frame. For the actual motion you need the paired `.mov`. 2. **How long will my video be?** Number of photos × seconds per photo. Ten photos at 3s each = a 30s video. The running total updates as you add photos and change timing. 3. **Can I add music?** No — the MP4 is silent. TikTok, Reels, and Stories let you add a soundtrack after upload (and their in-app music is what those feeds favor). For baked-in audio, drop the MP4 into a video editor. 4. **Which aspect ratio should I choose?** 9:16 (1080×1920) for TikTok/Reels/Stories, 1:1 (1080×1080) for a square feed post, 16:9 (1920×1080) for YouTube/landscape. Photos are never cropped — they're centered and scaled to fit. 5. **What fills the space when a photo doesn't match the shape?** By default a blurred, zoomed copy of the photo itself (the look Instagram and CapCut use); optionally solid black or white bars. The photo is never cropped. 6. **Is the conversion private?** Yes — both the HEIC decode and the MP4 encode run entirely in the browser via WebAssembly and the built-in WebCodecs encoder. Photos are never sent to a server. 7. **What format and quality do I get?** A standard `.mp4` using H.264, 1080p, 30 fps, silent — plays and uploads everywhere. Because a still photo doesn't change frame to frame, the file stays small for its length. 8. **My browser says it can't encode video.** The tool needs the browser's WebCodecs H.264 encoder — present in Chrome, Edge, Safari (Mac and iPhone), and desktop Firefox. The one common exception is Firefox on Android; open the page in Chrome there. --- ## Image Format Glossary URL: https://heictopng.org/formats Plain-language definitions for every term that shows up when working with HEIC, HEVC, and PNG photos. - **HEIC** — Apple's default image format on iPhones since iOS 11 (2017). ~50% smaller than JPG at equal quality. Uses HEVC codec inside a HEIF container. - **HEIF** — ISO/IEC 23008-12 container standard. Carries HEVC-encoded images, sequences (Live Photos), depth maps, alpha channels. - **HEVC / H.265** — High Efficiency Video Coding. Apple repurposes it for still images. ~50% more efficient than JPEG. - **PNG** — Portable Network Graphics. Lossless, supports alpha, universal browser/OS support. Ideal HEIC conversion target. - **JPG / JPEG** — Lossy format from the 1990s. Smaller than PNG, no transparency. Good when file size trumps fidelity. - **Alpha Channel** — Transparency, separate from RGB. PNG and HEIC support it; JPG does not. - **Lossless Compression** — Preserves every pixel exactly. PNG is lossless. - **Lossy Compression** — Discards data for smaller files. JPG and HEIC are lossy. - **Codec** — Coder/decoder algorithm. HEIC uses HEVC; JPG uses DCT. - **Container** — File wrapper holding encoded data + metadata. `.heic` is a HEIF container with HEVC-encoded images. - **EXIF** — Metadata: camera, exposure, timestamp, GPS, orientation. - **Depth Map** — Grayscale layer storing distance-from-camera. Used for Portrait blur. Lost when converting to PNG. - **Live Photo** — 1.5s video before/after still, stored as HEIC still + HEVC video. PNG keeps still only. - **Client-side Conversion** — Processing runs in the browser, not on a remote server. - **DPI / PPI** — Pixel density. Pixel dimensions matter for web; DPI matters for printing. - **Bit Depth** — Bits per color channel. PNG supports 8 and 16-bit (not 10-bit HEIC HDR). - **ICC Color Profile** — Metadata describing color space (sRGB, Display P3, Adobe RGB). - **Burst Photo** — Rapid-fire sequence stored as a single HEIC image sequence. Converts to multiple PNGs. - **Chroma Subsampling** — Storing color at lower resolution than luminance. Common in JPG (4:2:0); PNG doesn't subsample (sharper text). --- ## About HeicToPng URL: https://heictopng.org/about ### The HEIC Problem In 2017 Apple switched iPhones from JPEG to HEIC — better on paper (smaller files, better quality, transparency, animation). The problem starts when photos leave the Apple ecosystem: emailing HEIC to a Windows friend produces an unopenable file; WordPress previews stay blank; Slack, job applications, Etsy listings, school portals — silence. PNG and JPG still rule the web. Most online HEIC converters force accounts, watermark output, cap batch size, or silently upload personal photos to unknown servers. HeicToPng was built as a better alternative. ### How HeicToPng Works - **Everything runs client-side with WebAssembly.** A WASM decoder loads in the browser tab, reads the HEIC container, extracts image data, and re-encodes to PNG/JPG/WebP — all on your device. No upload. - **Batch conversion with no artificial caps.** Drop one or three hundred photos; the only ceiling is device memory. UI streams results as each finishes. - **Works offline after first load.** The decoder is cached; disconnect Wi-Fi and keep converting (useful on flights, bad networks). ### Why Privacy Was Non-Negotiable Your photo library is one of the most personal datasets you own — family, travel, kids, keys, medical docs, credit cards over years. Handing that to an unknown server — even for a "quick conversion" — is a bigger deal than it sounds. HEIC carries EXIF: GPS, device model, timestamps. HeicToPng sidesteps all of it: can't leak what we don't have, can't sell what we don't see. ### What HeicToPng Can Do - **Inputs:** any HEIC or HEIF your iPhone/iPad produces, including Live Photos (still frame), bursts, portrait-mode, HEIC screenshots, HDR. - **Outputs:** PNG (lossless, best for screenshots/text), JPG (smaller, best for photos), WebP (modern, smaller than JPG). - **Platforms:** Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, Brave, Arc, Opera. Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, iPad, Android. Requires File API + WebAssembly (standard since 2018). ### Who We Built It For iPhone owners sending photos to non-Apple friends; designers/bloggers pulling shots into Photoshop/Figma/WordPress; developers handling user uploads arriving as HEIC; job applicants on portals that reject HEIC; students submitting assignments on pre-iPhone school systems. ### Who Builds and Maintains It A small team tired of uploading personal photos to shady converters. Free, lightly ad-supported, funded by other work.
