Most online converters upload your pictures to their servers — and those are personal photos, documents, screenshots of chats. Here everything happens in your browser: the file never leaves your device, even when you convert a batch of fifty photos. Compression, resizing and blurring parts of a picture come next.

Frequently asked questions
No. Converting, cleaning and building the archive all happen right in your browser, and not a single photo goes to a server. The only thing downloaded with the first HEIC is the converter itself — the program, not your pictures. It is easy to check: once the page and the converter have loaded, switch the internet off and add more files — everything keeps working, because nothing is sent anywhere.
HEIC is the format iPhone has used for photos since iOS 11. At the same quality it is noticeably lighter than JPG, which is why Apple made it the default. But Windows does not show these files without a separate extension, and Chrome, Firefox and Edge do not open them at all. Many websites and upload forms also expect JPG — hence the need to convert.
When HEIC becomes JPG here, the location and the phone model are not carried over: the new file is built from the pixels alone, without the source's metadata. If you choose to keep the capture date, that is the only thing added. For photos that are already JPGs there is a separate tool, Remove metadata (EXIF), which strips location, camera model and date before you send them.
Yes, up to 100 files at a time — a whole trip folder, for example. Photos are converted one by one so the browser does not run out of memory, and the finished ones can be downloaded together as a single ZIP. If one file turns out broken or in the wrong format, its row shows the error and the rest carry on — one bad frame does not stop the batch.
Those are the next operations in this section: photo compression and resizing will appear here as their own pages, also without uploading. For now you can control the size with the JPG quality setting — 80 makes the file noticeably lighter with almost no visible difference. And if photos of documents need to travel as one file, the PDF section next door gathers them into a PDF.
Yes, it all runs in a mobile browser with no app to install. One caveat for iPhone: the browser there cannot draw a picture larger than 16 megapixels, so 48-megapixel shots are reduced to 16 and clearly marked as such. On a computer the full size is kept. Finished files land in the browser's downloads or arrive together in one archive.
