Convert AVIF to HEIC
Free, instant AVIF to HEIC conversion - processed entirely in your browser, nothing is uploaded.
AVIF and HEIC are sibling formats - both wrap video-codec compression in an image container - so converting between them mainly serves people standardizing a photo library around Apple's format. Browsers generally cannot encode HEIC, however, because HEVC is patent-encumbered. If you just need your AVIF files usable on Apple devices, JPG or PNG output achieves that with zero friction.

Frequently asked questions
Do iPhones open AVIF files directly?
Yes - iOS 16 and later, and recent macOS versions, display AVIF natively, so conversion to HEIC is rarely necessary for Apple users anymore.
What's the practical alternative to HEIC output?
Pick JPG for photos you plan to share or sync via iCloud, or PNG if you need lossless quality. Both import cleanly into Apple Photos.
