3

Download Converted Files

Your images are converted instantly in the browser. Download individually or all at once as a zip.

Privacy Architecture

Why Photo Conversion Should Be Private

Online HEIC converters typically upload your photos to a server for processing. That means your personal photos — family pictures, identity documents, medical images — pass through third-party infrastructure.

Some converters state they delete files after processing. But "we delete them" is a weaker guarantee than "we never had them." You're trusting a server, an employee, a security policy, and a deletion script.

ModernPDF converts HEIC files using your browser's built-in image processing capabilities. The photos are decoded and re-encoded locally. No network request is made, no file is transmitted, and no copy exists anywhere except on your device.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's default photo format since iOS 11. It produces smaller files than JPG at similar quality. However, many websites, email clients, and applications don't support it — so conversion to JPG or PNG is often necessary.

Converting to JPG introduces minimal compression, but the quality difference is imperceptible for most uses. Converting to PNG is completely lossless — identical visual quality to the original.

Yes. The converter works with any .heic or .heif file, whether from an iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Just drag the files into the browser.

The batch converter handles multiple files in a single operation. Free users can run 3 conversion tasks per day, but each task can include multiple photos.

EXIF metadata is preserved during conversion to JPG. If you want to strip location data for privacy, you can remove EXIF data from the converted files using standard photo tools.
