A free, private, browser-based converter for iPhone, iPad, and Mac HEIC photos. Converts HEIC/HEIF images to JPG / JPEG, PNG, PDF or WebP — all locally in the browser. No uploads, no signup, no tracking.
🌐 Live site: https://heicquick.com
iPhones and iPads save photos in HEIC by default. Windows, older software, many websites, and lots of messaging apps still don't handle HEIC well. Most online converters solve this by uploading your photos to a server — which is slow, uses bandwidth, and means strangers' servers briefly hold your personal photos.
This site does the conversion entirely in your browser using a WebAssembly build of libheif. Your files never leave your device. You can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it still works.
- 📱 Made for iPhone, iPad, and Mac photos — handles HEIC files exported, shared, or AirDropped from any Apple device
- 🔒 100% private — files never upload anywhere; everything runs in your browser
- 🎯 Three output formats — JPG / JPEG (universal), PNG (lossless), WebP (smallest size), PDF (portability)
- 🎚 Adjustable quality for JPEG, PDF and WebP
- 📦 Batch conversion — drop dozens of files at once
- ✅ Real format validation — non-HEIC files are detected by inspecting file headers and skipped with a warning
- 🚫 No signup, no limits, no ads tracking (ad monetization optional, privacy-friendly analytics only)
- 💻 Works on any modern browser — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge — on Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, Android
- Plain HTML + CSS + vanilla JavaScript — no framework, no build step
- heic-to — actively maintained libheif WASM wrapper for HEIC decoding
- Browser-native

index.html
No backend. No database. No server-side conversion. That's the point.
On Windows, you double-click "index.html", the page will up and running. Test pass using Chrome on Windows 11. Alternatively, you can serve it with any local HTTP server:
# Python 3
python -m http.server 8000Then visit http://localhost:8000/ in your browser.
Any other static server works too (Node http-server, PHP's built-in server, VS Code Live Server extension, etc.).
This is a static site with zero build step. Drop index.html on any static host:
- Push this repo to GitHub
- dash.cloudflare.com → Workers & Pages → Create → Pages → Connect to Git
- Framework preset: None. Build command: empty. Output directory:
/ - Deploy
Drag the folder containing index.html onto app.netlify.com, or connect via Git.
Enable Pages on this repo, pick the main branch root, done.
All three give you free HTTPS, global CDN, and enough bandwidth to handle any realistic amount of traffic for free.

Each landing page (heic-to-jpg.html, heic-to-png.html, heic-to-webp.html, iphone-heic-windows.html) is a fully functional, self-contained converter — same engine as the homepage, but with:
- A unique
<title>, meta description, and canonical URL targeting a specific long-tail keyword FAQPageJSON-LD structured data for Google rich results- A pre-selected default output format (e.g. JPEG on
heic-to-jpg.html) - Dedicated SEO copy explaining that format's use case
- Cross-links to the other landing pages for internal linking
This is a standard SEO "doorway page" pattern done ethically: every page provides a working tool, not a redirect trap.
The _redirects file tells Cloudflare Pages to serve heic-to-jpg.html when a visitor requests /heic-to-jpg (no extension). This keeps URLs clean and professional for SEO and sharing. The relevant rewrites:
/heic-to-jpg /heic-to-jpg.html 200
/heic-to-png /heic-to-png.html 200
/heic-to-webp /heic-to-webp.html 200
/iphone-heic-windows /iphone-heic-windows.html 200
/privacy /privacy.html 200

This site performs zero server-side processing of user files. Conversion runs in the user's browser via WebAssembly. No images are uploaded, logged, or stored anywhere.
