HEIC to SVG Converter
Turn HEIC (HEIF) files into SVG in seconds. Everything happens on your device: nothing is uploaded, and there's no limit.
Your images are processed in this browser tab and never uploaded.
Why convert HEIC to SVG?
HEIC photos from an iPhone often won't open on Windows, Android or upload forms.
A vector SVG scales to any size without blur, which is what designers, web developers and cutting machines (Cricut, laser cutters) need.
What to expect
- Live Photos convert to a still image. Location and camera details (EXIF) are not copied into the new file, which is safer for sharing.
- Your HEIC is traced into real vector shapes, not just wrapped in an SVG. This works best for logos, icons and illustrations; photos turn into large, poster-like SVGs.

About the formats
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container, 2015) is the format iPhones and iPads use for photos since iOS 11. It keeps photos at about half the size of JPG, but many Windows PCs, websites and apps can't open it. HEIC and HEIF are the same container format. HEIC is the name Apple uses for photos stored with HEVC compression.
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics, 2001) is a vector format. Instead of pixels it describes shapes, so it stays perfectly sharp at any size. It's the standard for logos and icons on the web.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert HEIC to SVG?
Drop your HEIC files into the box above (or tap Select files), check the options, then press Convert. Each SVG downloads on its own, or you can download them all as one ZIP file.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser on your own device. Your HEIC files are never sent to a server, so they stay private, and it works even on a slow connection once the page has loaded.
Is there a limit on how many HEIC files I can convert?
No. Convert as many as you like, for free, without signing up. Very large batches are processed one after another so your browser stays responsive.
Why won't my iPhone photos open on Windows?
iPhones save photos as HEIC to save space. Windows needs an extra codec to open them, and many websites reject them. Converting to SVG fixes that. On the iPhone you can also switch to Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible to take new photos as JPG.
Will the SVG be a real vector?
Yes. The image is traced into vector paths with colour regions, so it scales cleanly and can be edited in Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma. Choose the Detail setting to balance accuracy and file size: “Simple” works best for logos.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. It works in Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Edge on phones, tablets and computers. Nothing to install.
