  • On-device only

    Compression and conversion run in the browser — pixels never leave your phone or computer.

  • No photo upload

    During processing the file body does not go over the network. Save mobile data: you are not shipping megabytes to someone else’s server.

  • No ads

    We do not show ads and we do not accept your files. We physically never see your photos.

  • We don’t store photos

    We do not save images on a server or in the cloud. Open, process, download.

How it works

Your photo stays in browser memory and is not sent to our server during compression. Opening the site still downloads the page as usual. For visit stats we may use Google Analytics: page, device type, button clicks — not file names or pixels. Language choice may be remembered in the browser. Analytics cookies are Google’s; you can limit them in browser settings. You can also press Offline in the header to cache this language’s tool pages and engines on your device; your files are still not uploaded.

The iPhone camera writes HEIC by default (sometimes HEIF). Windows, many websites, printers, and email attachments expect plain JPG — so “iPhone photos” often won’t open on a computer.

How to use: pick one or more .heic/.heif → conversion to JPG runs in the browser → download the file or a ZIP. Adjust quality and long edge to match a form limit.

PixLocal never uploads the shot to a server — unlike typical cloud converters. HEIC decoding and JPEG saving stay on the device; you can shrink the file before sending.

FAQ

How do I open an iPhone photo on Windows?

Transfer the HEIC to your PC and convert it here to JPG — no codecs or apps to install. The file doesn’t go to the cloud: processing is browser-only.

How is HEIC different from JPG?

HEIC is more compact and newer (iPhone camera standard); JPG is the universal format for Windows, websites, and printing. Conversion is for compatibility.

Does the photo go to a server?

No. HEIC decoding and JPG saving run in the browser. Check the Network tab: the image body is not sent.

Are metadata preserved?

When re-encoding via Canvas, some EXIF may be lost. Keep the original HEIC for important archives.

Why is JPG sometimes larger than HEIC?

HEIC is more efficient than JPEG. We automatically lower quality and cap the side (default 2560 px) so the file gets lighter. Reduce quality or max side if needed.

Can I convert several files at once?

Yes — select a batch of HEIC and download a ZIP of JPGs, or share individual frames to Photos via Share.
