HEIC Viewer

Add your HEIC file — drag in or browse for .heic or .heif files. You can open more than one.

View and inspect — zoom in and out or fit to screen, and read the Inspector: File Info (dimensions, size, type), EXIF (device, ISO, aperture, colour profile), and a Depth Map visualization for portrait photos. Use Compare to see the original against sRGB.

Save if needed — click "Normalize for Web (JPG)" for a universally compatible copy, or Download Original to keep the HEIC. ```

Drag your .heic or .heif file into this viewer, or click to browse for it. It opens straight away in your browser and displays the photo, with zoom and fit controls so you can inspect it closely. No app, codec, or Apple software is needed — it just works in the page.

Yes. Windows doesn't open HEIC out of the box without an extra codec, but this viewer renders the file in your browser, so you can see it on any operating system — Windows, Linux, or Mac — without installing anything. Just open the page and drop the file in.

No. The viewer decodes and displays your HEIC file entirely in your browser, so the photo is processed on your own device and never uploaded. Nothing is stored once you close the tab, which keeps personal photos private while you view and inspect them.

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the format Apple devices use by default, storing photos with the efficient HEVC codec so they take up less space than JPEG at similar quality. The trade-off is compatibility — many non-Apple apps and sites can't open HEIC, which is exactly the gap this viewer fills.

It reads the file's details: dimensions, file size, and type under File Info; the device, ISO, and aperture under EXIF; the colour profile (often Apple's wide-gamut Display P3); and a depth-map visualization for portrait-mode photos. It's a quick way to see everything embedded in a HEIC without extra software.

It shows your photo's original wide-gamut appearance next to how it looks converted to standard sRGB. This is useful because HEIC photos are often in Display P3, and converting to the more universal sRGB can slightly shift saturated colours. Comparing them helps you understand why a converted copy may look a little different.

Yes. iPhone portrait shots store depth information used for the background blur, and the viewer can show a Depth Map visualization of it via the toggle. It's a way to see the data Apple captures alongside the image — a visualization for inspection, not a depth editor.

Click "Normalize for Web (JPG)" to download a web-ready JPG copy that opens anywhere, or "Download Original" to keep the HEIC file as-is. If you need a lossless PNG instead of JPG, use the HEIC to PNG tool; to convert many files at once, use HEIC to JPG.

Yes, you can add multiple files. The viewer is designed for opening and inspecting HEIC images, so it's ideal for checking a handful of photos. If your goal is to convert a large batch to JPG, the dedicated HEIC to JPG converter handles bulk conversion with a ZIP download.

Usually it's the colour space. Many HEIC photos use the wide-gamut Display P3 profile, and converting to standard sRGB — which is what most apps and screens expect — can make very saturated colours appear slightly muted. It's normal and not a fault; the Compare feature lets you see the difference before you export.

Yes. It runs in your phone's browser with nothing to install, so you can open and inspect a HEIC file on Android or iOS. It's handy on Android in particular, where HEIC photos sent from an iPhone don't always open in the default gallery.

Yes, completely free with no account and no limits. You can open and inspect as many HEIC files as you like and export JPG copies, all without signing up. Because it runs locally in your browser, there's no paywall and no watermark on anything you download.
