Frequently asked questions

Is my HEIC uploaded to a server to turn it into AVIF?

No. The HEIC to AVIF conversion runs entirely in your browser, with code downloaded from this site and executed on your device. You can check it in the Network tab of the developer tools or by going offline after the page loads.

Do I lose quality converting HEIC to AVIF?

A little: AVIF uses lossy compression. At the default quality the difference is not visible to the naked eye, and you can raise it in the options for maximum quality.

Is there a size limit?

Your device’s memory sets the limit: on desktop, images up to about 100 megapixels; on mobile, up to 16.7. If an image is too large you are told before it starts.

Can I convert several HEIC files at once?

Yes. Drop as many HEIC files as you like: several are converted at the same time, depending on your processor cores, and when they finish you can download each AVIF or all of them in a ZIP.
