How to convert HEIC to GIF

Choose an HEIC or HEIF photo, optionally resize it, and download a palette GIF.

Select an image from your device or drag it into the upload area.

Resize the image if you need different output dimensions.

Review the preview and file size, then save the converted image.

This free online HEIC to GIF converter includes the following controls and output tools:

Private browser conversion. The image is processed locally and is not uploaded.
Custom dimensions. Set an exact width and height, lock the aspect ratio, and prevent accidental enlargement.
Single-frame palette output. Create a still GIF with up to 256 colors and one-bit transparency, without a quality slider.
Before-and-after preview. Review the original and converted image, output dimensions, format, and file size.
File-size comparison. See the original and converted sizes and the percentage change.
Custom filename. Rename the converted file before downloading it.
Metadata-free export. The newly encoded GIF does not copy source metadata.

GIF may be required by an older application or a specific upload field that does not accept HEIC.

Photographs generally look better in JPG, WebP, or AVIF because GIF is restricted to 256 colors.

For multi-image HEIC or HEIF files, the first image returned by the local decoder is used.

The output is one still GIF without source metadata. GIF encoding can introduce visible color banding.

Is this HEIC to GIF converter free?

Yes. Convert one HEIC or HEIF at a time.

Does it create animation?

No. The GIF contains one still frame.

Why are colors limited?

GIF supports a maximum of 256 colors.

Is metadata copied?

No. The output does not retain HEIC metadata.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. Decoder and encoder code run locally.
