Your files are processed entirely in your browser using Web Workers and the Canvas API. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or logged. The tab can even work offline after first load.

How HEIC to GIF conversion works

Need to convert HEIC files to GIF? PixelKit does it in one click, right in your browser. The converter reads your HEIC file locally, renders it to a canvas, and re-encodes it as GIF using the browser's own image pipeline. Because nothing is sent to a server, there is no upload wait, no file-size limit from a backend, and no privacy risk. Your photos, ID scans and documents stay on your device the entire time.

The tool works offline after the first page load, on mobile and desktop, and produces standard GIF files accepted by portals, email clients and design apps. Drag a HEIC file, pick GIF as the output, and download the result. Multiple files can be converted in one batch, and results appear side by side for easy comparison.

No account, no watermark, no email gate. Just the file you need, at the size you need it.

Frequently asked questions

Is this HEIC to GIF converter really free?

Yes. PixelKit is free to use with no watermarks, no file limits, and no account. The tool runs entirely in your browser, so there is no server cost that would justify a paywall.

Are my HEIC files uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion happens locally using your browser's canvas and Web Worker APIs. Files never leave your device, and nothing is stored after you close the tab.

What is the maximum HEIC file size?

There is no server-side limit because there is no server. Very large files may be limited only by your device's available memory — usually several hundred MB on desktop and tens of MB on mobile.

Common use cases

Passport & visa portals

Portals like the US DS-160, UK Gov, and Indian Passport Seva reject photos above 200KB or 240KB. PixelKit hits the exact KB in one pass — no guesswork with sliders.

iPhone HEIC photos

iPhone saves photos as HEIC, which Windows and most web portals don't accept. Convert to JPG in your browser with no upload and no app install.
