Why convert HEIC to ICO?
HEIC (MPEG / Apple, 2017) is best for iphone photos at half the size of jpg, and ICO is lossless, so every pixel is preserved exactly. Converting HEIC to ICO makes sense when you need favicons and windows icons — universal (favicons) support, tiny files.
Questions
Is ICO smaller than HEIC?+
ICO files are typically tiny where HEIC files are small for the quality, so in most cases yes. The result depends on the image.
Do my files get uploaded during the conversion?+
No. The HEIC is decoded and re-encoded by your own browser. Open your Network tab and watch it stay empty.
Can I convert several HEIC files at once?+
Yes. Drop a whole batch, convert them together and download the results as a single ZIP.
Is there a file size or daily limit?+
No limits and no account. The only real ceiling is your device's memory, since everything runs locally.
What happens to EXIF and GPS data?+
It's removed. Writing a fresh ICO drops camera, date and location metadata, which is usually what you want before sharing.
Does this cost anything?+
No. There is no server bill to pass on, so converting HEIC to ICO is free and always will be.
