HEIC to GIF Converter

Convert to GIF for maximum compatibility when sharing simple graphics or images that don't need photographic quality. GIF works on all devices and platforms. However, for photos from iPhone, JPG is usually a better choice as GIF's 256-color limit significantly reduces photo quality.

Probably yes. GIF only supports 256 colors, while HEIC photos contain millions of colors. Converting photos to GIF creates visible color banding and quality loss. GIF is better suited for simple graphics, logos, or images that don't require photographic quality.

It depends. For photos with many colors, HEIC is much more efficient. For simple graphics with few colors, GIF might be smaller. HEIC's advanced compression makes it superior for photographic content.

This conversion only creates static GIFs from HEIC still images. If you want to create an animated GIF from multiple HEIC photos, you'll need dedicated animation software to combine them.

No, convert to JPG or PNG instead. GIF's 256-color limitation severely degrades photo quality. Use GIF only if you specifically need it for compatibility with very old systems or for simple graphics.
