How to convert HEIC to AVIF, step by step

  1. Select your HEIC file

    Click the upload area or drag your HEIC file straight onto it. You can drop several at once if you need to convert them all.

  2. Check the target is AVIF

    The output format is already set to AVIF. If you added several files and want a different format for each, switch to the "A format for each file" option.

  3. Press Convert

    Conversion runs on your own device, so it starts instantly and never depends on your internet speed or on a queue at some server.

  4. Download the result

    Hit Download and save your new AVIF file. If you converted several, you can grab them all together in a ZIP.

Why convert HEIC to AVIF?

On top of that, AVIF compresses the content, so the result will weigh considerably less than the original. That is what matters when emailing it or publishing it online.

Frequently asked questions

Is converting HEIC to AVIF free?

Yes, entirely. No accounts, no daily file limit and no watermarks on the result. The site is funded by the ads on the page.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. The HEIC to AVIF conversion runs inside your browser, on your own device. The file never travels across the internet, so nobody can see it and there is no copy left to delete afterwards.

Is quality lost in the conversion?

AVIF uses lossy compression, so technically yes. We default to a high quality setting so the difference is not visible to the naked eye, in exchange for a much lighter file.

Can I convert several files at once?

Yes. Drop in as many as you like and they will be converted one after another. When they finish you can download them individually or all together in a ZIP.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes, on Android and iPhone, with no app to install. Just open this page in your phone browser.
