About FastHEIC
Fast, private, and accessible HEIC to JPG conversion for everyone
🎯Our Mission
FastHEIC was created to solve a universal problem: Apple's HEIC format is great for storage efficiency, but terrible for compatibility. We believe that converting your photos shouldn't require uploading them to someone else's server, paying for software, or compromising your privacy. Our mission is to provide fast, free, and completely private HEIC to JPG conversion that works for everyone, everywhere.
💡Why We Built FastHEIC
The Problem
Since iOS 11 in 2017, iPhones have saved photos in HEIC format by default. While HEIC offers excellent compression and quality, it's poorly supported outside Apple's ecosystem. Android users can't view the photos you send. Websites reject HEIC uploads. Windows users need special codecs. This creates daily frustration for millions of iPhone users worldwide.
Existing Solutions Were Inadequate
Most online converters require uploading your photos to their servers. This is:
- •Slow - Upload and download times add significant delay
- •Privacy risk - Your personal photos pass through third-party servers
- •Limited - File size restrictions, daily limits, watermarks
- •Expensive - Many charge subscription fees for basic features
Our Solution
We built FastHEIC using modern WebAssembly technology to process conversions entirely in your browser. Your photos never leave your device. Conversion happens locally at full speed with no file size limits, no daily restrictions, and completely free. It's the converter we wished existed when we faced this problem ourselves.
⭐Our Core Values
Privacy First
Your photos are personal. We designed FastHEIC so your files never leave your device. All processing happens locally in your browser using WebAssembly. We can't see, access, or store your photos because they never reach our servers.
Always Free
We believe essential tools should be free and accessible to everyone. FastHEIC has no file limits, no daily restrictions, no watermarks, and no premium tiers. It's supported by non-intrusive advertising, allowing us to keep it 100% free.
Fast & Efficient
Local processing means instant conversion with no upload/download delays. Typical conversions complete in under 1 second. We optimize every aspect of the conversion pipeline to respect your time.
