HEIC photos from iPhones are already compact but still several megabytes, and many forms and apps reject them. The compressor decodes the HEIC on your device and saves it as a compressed JPG (opens everywhere), AVIF (smallest) or WebP, with the quality or the target size you choose.

Frequently asked questions

Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your images never leave your device, and nothing is stored.
