Image Converter
Turn iPhone HEIC photos into JPG, PNG or WebP, shrink a whole batch to a size that fits an email or a listing, and strip the location and camera data on the way. Everything happens on this page and nothing is uploaded. Is it worth paying for CloudConvert?
What this does, and what it does not
- Nothing is uploaded. Your browser decodes and re-encodes the pictures itself. HEIC files are decoded with libheif compiled to WebAssembly, loaded only when you drop one.
- Metadata is removed. Phones write EXIF data into every photo: GPS position, device and lens, timestamps, sometimes a thumbnail of the uncropped original. Converted files carry none of it. Rows marked Location had GPS coordinates in the original file.
- Quality. JPG and WebP are lossy. 85 is a good default; below 70 you start to see it. PNG is lossless and several times larger, so use it for screenshots and graphics, not photos.
- Live Photos arrive as a HEIC plus a small MOV video. Only the HEIC is a picture; anything that is not an image is skipped with a note.
- Large batches are processed one file at a time. Keep the tab open until the summary says it is done, then download files one by one or all together as a ZIP.
