Convert HEIC files to GIF free in your browser — no signup, no install, and the file is never uploaded to a server. GIF opens almost anywhere, so the result works where HEIC did not.
Add your HEIC file
Drag the HEIC file onto the drop area above, or click it to pick a file from your device. You can add several files at once.
Confirm GIF as the output
GIF is already selected as the output format on this page. You can set the output width and height. Quality stays untouched because this format is lossless.
Run the conversion
Press the convert button. A single image is usually done before you finish reading this sentence.
Download the GIF file
When it finishes, download the GIF file. Converting multiple files gives you the option to download them together as a ZIP.
The default photo format on iPhone, offering better quality at roughly half the size of JPEG. It often fails to open outside the Apple ecosystem, which is why conversion is so commonly needed.
An older format limited to 256 colors, still widely used because it can hold multiple frames for short animations. It supports on/off transparency but not partial opacity.
Yes. HEIC to GIF conversion is completely free with no signup, no watermark, and no daily limit on the free plan for ordinary use.
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so the HEIC file never leaves your device. That is also why it works without an internet connection once the page has loaded.
The free plan handles files up to 200MB. Because processing happens on your own device, very large files depend on your computer's memory rather than a server quota.
