HEIC to GIF, explained
Convert HEIC to GIF directly on your device. Create a still GIF for a workflow that requires a GIF image. Inspect orientation and colors. The export is a still raster copy, not the complete camera original: depth data, Live Photo motion, HDR characteristics and metadata are not preserved.
Choose HEIC files and confirm the preview.
Keep GIF selected. Review the output behavior below before converting.
Convert and download the GIF results. Multiple results can be saved together as a ZIP.
Reading your HEIC source
HEIC and HEIF require native browser and operating-system decoding. No fallback HEIC codec is included. Try one photo before a batch; a compatible device may still reject a particular file variant.
Settings for GIF output
GIF output uses a fixed 256-entry palette and a single transparent palette index. Partly transparent pixels become transparent or opaque, so soft edges and smooth gradients can change visibly.
Dimensions in HEIC to GIF
Original size keeps decoded raster dimensions. Advanced Settings offers percentage scaling or fit within a maximum width and height, with aspect ratio preserved and no cropping. Input and output safety limits both apply.
What survives the conversion
This tool writes one still GIF frame. There is no animation, frame-rate control or JPEG-style quality slider. Inspect banding and compare PNG for detailed graphics. Inspect orientation and colors. The export is a still raster copy, not the complete camera original: depth data, Live Photo motion, HDR characteristics and metadata are not preserved.
Batch processing and device limits
Choose up to 50 files, each at most 64 MB. Decoded images must fit 24 megapixels and 16,384 pixels per side; total outputs are capped at 256 MB. All conversion runs on this device. Source metadata is removed, and damaged or unsupported variants can fail without changing the originals.
