Fileoholic provides a browser-based converter that turns HEIC and HEIF image files from iPhones into JPG or PNG formats. It addresses the common compatibility problem where these files fail to open in many Windows applications, older email clients, government portals, and legacy web forms. The service performs all processing locally without sending files to any server.
Users drag and drop .heic or .heif files or select them manually, with each image limited to 25 MB. They then choose between JPG output for smaller file sizes or PNG for lossless quality. Conversion happens through a WebAssembly module that decodes and processes the images directly on the user's device, after which the results can be downloaded immediately. The tool also includes a guide explaining the HEIC format for those unfamiliar with it.
It is intended for individuals who need to convert iPhone photos for use in systems that lack HEIC support. The converter is free with no signup required and no restrictions on the number of files processed. It operates entirely within the web browser and requires no installation.
Fileoholic is a Design & Creative project. It focuses on opening and converting iPhone HEIC photos to standard JPG or PNG formats without uploading files online. Fileoholic is a consumer product aimed at iPhone users and anyone needing to convert HEIC images to JPG or PNG. Fileoholic is free to use. Fileoholic is available on the web.
Fileoholic first shipped in 2023. Among its 8 catalogued features are HEIC to JPG, HEIC to PNG, and drag and drop.
