About HEIC to AVIF

HEIC to AVIF converts your High Efficiency Image Container (.heic) files to AV1 Image File Format (.avif) directly in your browser using the browser's built-in Canvas 2D encoder. No signup, no watermark, no upload — your HEIC stays on your device from start to finish. AV1 Image File Format is typically used for next-gen web images (50% smaller than JPEG), and Toolspace's converter preserves the source at the highest quality the target format allows.

  • Handle confidential image files — nothing leaves your device.
  • Batch several files by re-running HEIC to AVIF in the same tab (no upload delay between runs).
