Why Convert HEIC to AVIF?

Converting HEIC to AVIF is a common task whenever a file has to work somewhere that expects the other format. HEIC is the photo format used by Apple devices since iOS 11. AVIF is a next-generation image format developed by the Alliance for Open Media. This converter makes the switch locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

Common use cases

  • You have a HEIC file and need it in AVIF format.
  • The target software or platform requires AVIF but your file is in HEIC.
  • Typical use of AVIF: Optimising images for web performance and Core Web Vitals.
