Fast, Private & 100% Free Image Tools for Everyone
We built heic.space because converting iPhone photos and optimizing images should be instant, simple, and completely private—without uploading personal files to remote servers or getting blocked by paywalls.
100% Local In-Browser Processing
Unlike traditional online converters that upload your confidential photos to third-party cloud servers, our conversion and compression code runs natively right inside your own browser using WebAssembly. Your photos never leave your device.
High-Performance WebAssembly
We leverage native C/C++ image decoders compiled directly to WebAssembly (Wasm). This delivers near-native CPU speeds, allowing you to convert batches of up to 50 high-resolution HEIC/HEIF images without lagging or bandwidth delays.
Forever Free & No Signup
No subscription popups, no credit cards required, and no hidden file size limits. Every tool on heic.space is available freely to anyone worldwide, whether you have 1 family photo or 50 camera captures.
Our Suite of In-Browser Image Utilities
Every tool is engineered to give you complete control over your photo formats, visual quality, and digital footprint:
HEIC to JPG/PNG/WebP
Convert Apple iPhone HEIC and HEIF captures to universally compatible JPEG, PNG, or WebP with adjustable quality, batch download, and optional metadata controls.
Smart Image Compressor
Reduce JPG, PNG, and WebP file sizes dramatically with zero visual loss. Includes our interactive Before/After quality comparison slider.
EXIF Metadata Remover
Inspect and strip sensitive camera tags, GPS coordinates, device models, and timestamps from your photos before sharing on social media.
How Our Client-Side Architecture Works
When you select or drop photos into heic.space, your browser reads the binary ArrayBuffer locally. For HEIC/HEIF files, our WebAssembly engine decodes the compressed high-efficiency bitstream directly into raw pixel data without transferring bytes across the Internet.
Zero Server Uploads
Your files never leave your computer or phone, preventing leaks and data breaches.
Works Without Internet
Once the web application is loaded, image conversion works completely offline.
No Queue or Waiting
Conversion starts instantaneously using all available CPU threads on your hardware.
No Watermarks or Downscaling
Your original resolution and fidelity are preserved with zero added stamps or watermarks.
