.HEIC File Converter

Easily convert your iPhone .HEIC photos to .JPG or .PNG

HEIC formats are great, but they don’t import to Adobe CC or open on Windows PC or Android. Or any pre High Sierra Macs …

This is a small multiplatform open source app that easily converts HEIC files to PNG/JPG. It's built with Electron.

Free

@ze_rusty For sure, that works for Mac users, but not so much for Windows users (though, they have other get arounds). A bit more context... It’s worth pointing out that I did this project for fun. My main goal when I made it (2y ago) was to build desktop apps with Electron and Vuejs + Parcel to explore the ecosystem. This then led to me releasing a boilerplate (https://github.com/a133xz/electr...) mixing the technologies. But if I’d do it again, I’d probably use Vite and maybe not even Electron. Last week, I was exploring Svelte NodeGui and it’s super exciting—the performance and size of the app are not optimal.

Hey, iPhone users 🍎 I once sent a picture from my iPhone to my laptop, and I couldn’t open it in Adobe CC. 😬 I know there are different ways to get around this, like changing your iPhone camera settings or using online conversion tools. But as far as I know, there’s no desktop app (multiplatform) around for easily converting HEIC to JPG/PNG. So, I coded one. This is a project just for fun. It uses Electron and it’s a wrapper of this npm package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/he... The app is multiplatform: Windows and Mac. It was designed by Antonio Lozano during a time when isomorphic design was trending. (Yes, we made this app a year ago. Lol.) Feedback is welcome. 📮
