About Us
HeicToJpgFree was built with a simple mission: to make image conversion accessible, private, and free for everyone.
Our Story
We realized that many existing tools force users to upload their private photos to unknown servers just to convert a file format. We believe your photos belong to you. That's why we engineered a solution that runs entirely in your web browser.
Our Team
Our team is dedicated to maintaining this tool as a free resource for the community. We support the project through non-intrusive advertising so that we never have to charge you or compromise your privacy.
Our Technology
HeicToJpgFree uses modern WebAssembly (WASM) technology to run image conversion directly inside your browser at near-native speed. This means conversions are fast, secure, and completely offline — no servers involved.
- EngineWebAssembly (WASM) via heic2any — compiled from native C++ image codecs
- ProcessingRuns inside a Web Worker thread — your UI stays responsive during batch conversion
- File APIUses the browser File API — files are read directly from disk, never transmitted
- OutputStandard JPEG at 1–100% quality; EXIF metadata preserved by default
- FormatsSupports .heic and .heif (HEVC and H.264 encoded variants)

Privacy Commitment
When you select files in our converter, the browser's File API reads them directly from your local disk into memory — the same way a native app would. No network request is ever made for your image data. You can verify this yourself by opening your browser's Network tab (DevTools → Network) and watching zero image traffic while converting.
We support the project through non-intrusive display advertising. Ad networks may set cookies for frequency capping — these never touch your files or personal data. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
