Is this image converter free to use?

Yes! Our image converter is completely free to use with no limitations on the number of conversions or file sizes.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. All image conversions happen directly in your browser using JavaScript. Your images never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy and security.

What image formats are supported?

We support JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC, BMP, and GIF formats. You can convert between any of these formats freely.

Is there a file size limit?

There is no strict file size limit, but very large images may take longer to process depending on your device's capabilities.

Can I convert multiple images at once?

Yes! You can select and convert multiple images simultaneously. Just drag and drop or select multiple files.

Why would I convert HEIC to GIF?

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.

Will my photos look worse as GIF?

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.

Is GIF better than HEIC for file size?

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.

Can I create animations from HEIC?

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.

Should I use GIF for iPhone photos?

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.
