What stays on your device

Your photos are read and converted by your browser. They aren’t sent to The File Work or anywhere else, and there’s no account.

Like any website, the page and the converter’s code are downloaded from thefilework.com; if your browser can’t open HEIC itself, that includes the HEIC decoder, the first time. Your photos are never part of those requests.

Want to remove location too?

Prepare to share removes location and camera details from photos before you send them.

Several photos at once

Choose several HEIC photos together and convert them in one go. You get them all back as a ZIP or one by one.
