Privacy

This is a static website. Conversion of HEIC and HEIF photos happens in your browser with WebAssembly. JPEG, PNG and the optional PDF are built on this device. The photo files you drop into the tool are not uploaded to a server by this application, and they are not stored by us.

What we do not collect

What any web host may still see

When you load the pages, your browser requests HTML, CSS, JavaScript and the decoder bundle. The organisation that hosts those files can keep ordinary access logs: IP address, time, URL, user agent. That is true of almost every website. Those logs are not the same as receiving a copy of your photos.

If you open this site over the internet, the decoder library is downloaded from the same host as the page. That is a program file, not your pictures.

Cookies and advertisements

This site uses Google AdSense to show advertisements. Google may use cookies or device identifiers to show ads. See Google’s privacy policy and Google’s ad settings. Conversion of your photos still happens in this browser; AdSense does not receive the files you drop.

Open-source decoder

Decoding uses heic-to, which bundles libheif. Those projects are licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public Licence. Copies of the notices are in this repository under licenses/.

Who operates this

The product is operated from the United Kingdom. This page describes the behaviour of the published static files. If the hosting arrangement changes, the access-log part above still applies to whoever serves the files.
