About HEIC to GIF Conversion
This free online converter transforms HEIC images into GIF format directly in your browser. HEIC is the high-efficiency photo format used by Apple devices, while GIF is the classic format for simple animation. Whether you need broader compatibility, smaller file sizes, or different editing capabilities, switching from HEIC to GIF takes just a few seconds and requires no software installation.
Transparency is fully preserved during this conversion. The alpha channel in your HEIC image carries over to the GIF output intact, so transparent backgrounds stay transparent and no edge detail is lost. The GIF output reduces your image to a 256-color palette, which keeps files small and works well for simple graphics, logos, and short looping animations.
This conversion is popular with people who work with photos taken on iPhone and iPad, as well as anyone preparing images for short looping animations and simple graphics. HEIC files will not open in most Windows apps, browsers, and web platforms, so moving to GIF is a sensible, practical step. The result is a clean file that is ready to share, upload, publish, or edit further in your favorite tools.
Your privacy is protected throughout the entire process. Conversion happens entirely inside your browser, so your files never leave your device and are never uploaded to any server. The tool is completely free, handles multiple files at once, and works on any device with a modern browser, making it simple to convert HEIC to GIF whenever you need to.
