What is HEIC compression?
HEIC compression reduces the file size of a HEIC file while keeping it as visually close to the original as possible. Instead of uploading files to a remote server and waiting for processing, Pixvert's HEIC compressor runs the entire operation locally in your browser using the Canvas API, so HEIC files never leave your device.
HEIC (used by default on iPhones since iOS 11) is already efficiently compressed, so this tool converts it to a right-sized JPEG that stays compatible with every device, browser, and app.
HEIC photos from iPhones are already compressed, but converting to a smaller JPEG makes them universally compatible. This tool converts your HEIC photos to compressed JPEG automatically. Whether you're preparing files for a website, an email, or cloud storage, compressing HEIC images first means faster uploads, less bandwidth used, and quicker load times for anyone who opens them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why convert HEIC instead of just compressing it?
HEIC has poor compatibility outside Apple devices. Converting to JPEG guarantees the photo opens correctly everywhere while still reducing file size.
Do I lose photo quality converting HEIC to JPEG?
The conversion uses a high JPEG quality setting, so the difference is negligible for everyday viewing and sharing.
Is it safe to compress my images here?
Yes. Everything happens locally in your browser using the Canvas API — your files are never uploaded to a server.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no hard limit set by Pixvert, but very large files depend on your device’s available memory to process smoothly.
Can I compress multiple files at once?
Yes, drop several files at once and click Compress All — every file is processed and can be downloaded individually or as a ZIP.
Can I use the compressed images commercially?
Yes, Pixvert only reduces file size — it does not alter your rights over the image or add any watermark.
