When should I just view vs convert?
- Just checking what someone sent you? Use the viewer. Quick look, then close the tab — nothing saved.
- Saving it elsewhere (email, Slack, work portal, Word, etc.)? Use the converter to get a JPG/PNG/WebP/AVIF file.
- Curious about the metadata (camera, GPS, date)? Use the EXIF reader.
How HEICPix viewer works
Your file never leaves your browser. We use a WebAssembly build of libheif (the open-source HEIF decoder) running directly in a Web Worker on your device. The decoded pixels stay on the page; once you close the tab, they're gone — there's no server, no cache, no copy stored anywhere.
That's also why it works offline once the page is loaded — no network calls are involved in the decode.
