Privacy-first
Your original HEIC files and converted images stay on your device.
Private image conversion for iPhone photos
About heicgo
heicgo is a browser-based HEIC converter for people who need iPhone photos to work everywhere without uploading private files to a server.
EXIF-aware JPG output
JPG conversion can preserve GPS, camera model, timestamps, and orientation metadata.
JPG and PNG choices
Use JPG for compatibility and PNG for lossless screenshot or editing workflows.
Batch friendly
Convert multiple files and download successful results as one ZIP archive.
Our mission
iPhone users often need to convert HEIC photos to JPG or PNG for Windows, websites, email, printing, and older editing software.
Most online converters solve compatibility by asking users to upload personal photos. heicgo takes the opposite approach: conversion runs locally in your browser, with no account, no upload queue, and no server-side image storage.
How it works
- 1
Read locally
The browser reads the selected HEIC or HEIF file directly from your device.
- 2
Decode safely
Safari can use native HEIC decoding; other browsers use a WebAssembly decoder.
- 3
Process with Canvas
Optional resizing and rotation are applied before exporting the selected output format.
- 4
Download results
Converted files are created as local browser blobs and downloaded by the user.
Technology
Frontend
Astro, Preact, and Tailwind CSS keep the site fast and static.
Conversion
heic2any, browser image APIs, Canvas, and JSZip power local batch conversion.
Metadata
exifr and piexifjs handle EXIF extraction and JPG metadata injection.
