## What is HEIC Direct?

Convert HEIC photos to JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, TIFF, SVG, or AVIF directly on your iPhone or iPad.

HEIC Direct combines fast batch conversion, photo collages, grid slicing, face blur, and PDF redaction in one private, on-device app. Your photos and documents are never uploaded.

PDF TOOLS
• Turn photos into multi-page PDFs with page size, orientation, and margins
• Scan documents with your camera and crop borders
• Merge PDFs into one document with Pro
• Mark up pages and add watermarks with Pro

HEIC TO JPG AND IMAGE CONVERTER

Convert one photo or an entire batch:

• HEIC to JPG or JPEG
• HEIC to PNG
• HEIC to WebP
• HEIC to TIFF
• HEIC to SVG
• HEIC to AVIF with Pro

Choose the format, quality, dimensions, and metadata settings that fit your workflow. Export individual files or package a batch in a ZIP.

FAST BATCH CONVERSION

• Convert multiple HEIC and HEIF photos at once
• Import from Photos, Files, iCloud Drive, or the Share Sheet
• Drag and drop files on iPad
• Preview estimated output file sizes
• Resize by percentage, exact dimensions, or longest edge
• Remove GPS location and EXIF metadata
• Add a custom filename prefix with Pro

FACE BLUR AND PRIVACY REDACTION

Protect faces and sensitive information before sharing.

• Detect faces using Apple Vision on your device
• Blur, pixelate, or cover selected faces
• Redact text, signatures, account numbers, and other private details
• Redact photos and multi-page PDF documents
• Sample a background color with the magnifier eyedropper
• Choose from eight privacy styles: Mosaic, Gaussian Blur, Frosted Glass, Bokeh, Crystal Prism, Motion Streak, Solid Black, and Whiteout

PHOTO COLLAGE MAKER

Combine 2 to 16 photos into a single collage. Customize spacing, corner radius, inner borders, and background transparency. Export transparent designs as PNG when supported by the selected content and settings.

SLICE PHOTOS INTO GRIDS

Split an image into 2×2, 3×3, 3×1, or custom grids for profile feeds, carousel posts, and photo puzzles. Reverse ZIP export places the slices in a convenient posting order.

REUSABLE PRESETS

Save frequently used conversion settings and apply them in one tap:

• Web Sharing
• Print Quality
• Email Friendly
• Your own custom workflows

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Conversion, face detection, collage creation, grid slicing, and redaction run locally using Apple frameworks. No account is required. Your photos and PDFs are not sent to a conversion server.
