Conversion tools
Choose your HEIC output
HEIC to JPG
Best for web uploads, email, messaging, and older apps that expect a widely supported photo format.
HEIC to PNG
Useful when you want lossless decoded pixels for editing or image-processing workflows.
HEIC to PDF
Useful when a photo needs to be submitted, printed, archived as a copy, or shared as a PDF document.
Should you choose JPG, PNG, or PDF?
| Goal | Recommended output | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Share, upload, or use older software | JPG | Broad support across apps and websites, with practical file sizes for photos. |
| Continue editing or image processing | PNG | Stores the decoded pixels losslessly, although photographic PNG files are often larger. |
| Submit, print, or send as a document | Fits document-oriented workflows; the current tool creates one PDF page from one HEIC photo. |
How are HEIC and HEIF related?
HEIF is the High Efficiency Image File Format family, while HEIC is a common filename extension used for HEIF images on Apple devices. Real files may end in .heic or .heif, and FileOnTap's current HEIC converters accept both.
