Open and view HEIC files. Right in your browser.
Drop a HEIC photo and see it instantly — no iPhone, no Mac, no software to install. Preview every image, then download any as JPG.
Open HEIC files without installing anything
A HEIC viewer that decodes Apple's photo format right in your browser — then lets you save any image as JPG.
See HEIC photos on Windows, Android, or anywhere
HEIC is Apple's format, so a HEIC file that lands on Windows or Android often won't open — the built-in photo apps just show an error or a blank thumbnail. This viewer decodes the file in your browser and shows the actual image, no Windows plugin or phone app required.
Drop one file or a whole batch and every photo renders in a grid you can scan at a glance.
Preview first, then convert only if you need to
Sometimes you just want to look — check which photo is which before you do anything else. The viewer is built for that: open, look, done. When you do need a shareable copy, download any image as a JPG with one click.
Need a different format or a smaller file? Convert to PNG or PDF, or compress the result — all in the same browser-side, no-upload way.
100% private — your photos never upload
Many online HEIC viewers upload your photo to a server to render it. This one doesn't. Decoding runs on your own device with WebAssembly, so the image never leaves your computer or phone — it even keeps working offline once the page has loaded.
That matters when the HEIC is a personal photo, an ID scan, or anything you'd rather not hand to a stranger's server.
Want to keep the converted copies? Convert HEIC to JPG in a batch — same browser, same privacy.
HEIC viewer FAQ
The most-asked questions about opening and viewing HEIC files. Anything missing? Email us.
What is a HEIC file?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the photo format iPhones save by default since iOS 11. It stores images with the HEVC codec, taking about half the space of JPG at the same quality.
Why won't my HEIC file open on Windows or Android?
HEIC is an Apple format with patchy support elsewhere. Windows needs an extra codec and many Android gallery apps can't read it, so the file looks broken. This viewer decodes it in the browser instead.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. The HEIC is decoded locally in your browser with WebAssembly. Your photos never leave your device, and the viewer keeps working offline after the page loads.
Can I save the HEIC as a JPG after viewing?
Yes. Every opened image has a Download JPG button. For other formats, use the HEIC to PNG or HEIC to PDF tools.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. Any modern browser on iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac, or Linux — there's nothing to install.
