Buy once. No subscription. No ads. No surprise charges later. Batch-convert HEIC, JPEG, PNG, and WebP right on your iPhone — every photo stays on your device. Built for people fed up with "Free" converters that hit you with a subscription the moment you tap Convert. WHAT IT DOES Pick photos from your library or the Files app, choose an output format, and tap Convert. Every image is processed right on your iPhone — no upload, no account, nothing to sign in to. Review each result and its file size, then save the ones you want to Photos. BUILT FOR BATCHES Convert a single photo or a long list of them in one tap. Image Converter is built to power through large batches smoothly, so you spend less time waiting and more time on whatever you actually wanted to do with the photos. YOUR PHOTOS STAY ON YOUR PHONE Image Converter only sees the photos you hand-pick — nothing else in your library. Every conversion happens on your iPhone, so your originals never get uploaded anywhere. HONEST PRICING One payment. Every feature. Forever. No monthly fee waiting inside. No "upgrade to unlock batch." No full-screen ad after each conversion. The price you see on the App Store is the only price you will ever pay. EVERYTHING YOU NEED • Inputs: HEIC/HEIF, JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, TIFF, TGA • Outputs: JPEG, PNG, WebP • Quality slider with a live preview of the resulting file size • Resize presets (2000 / 1200 / 800 px long edge) plus a custom value • One-tap EXIF removal — strip location, camera, and date info before posting or listing • File size shown for every result, handy for marketplaces with strict upload limits • Save to Photos, or share via AirDrop, Files, Mail, and any share-sheet app • Conversion history so you can look back at what you've done • Files app import for images that aren't in your photo library WORKS WITH SHORTCUTS & SIRI Image Converter plugs into the Shortcuts app, so you can build your own one-tap routines and run them with a tap on your home screen — or just by asking Siri. Three actions are available: • Convert Images — choose the output format, quality, and size, and optionally strip EXIF; works on whole batches • Get Image Info — read a photo's format, dimensions, file size, and EXIF status, so your shortcut can decide what to do next • Strip EXIF — remove location, camera, and date info without changing the format For example: "take these photos, convert to JPEG, resize to 1200 px, remove the location data, and save." MADE FOR REAL JOBS • Etsy and marketplace sellers preparing iPhone HEIC photos for product listings • Roblox shirt makers and DTF print creators preparing artwork • Anyone uploading to a forum or sending to a printer that won't accept HEIC • People moving on from "Free" converters that turned into subscriptions If a converter should just convert — no ads, no subscription, no uploads — this is the one.

Send files directly between your devices - private, encrypted, no cloud storage and no size limits. AlterSend connects your phone and computer peer-to-peer and streams files straight across. Most file-sharing apps upload your files to a server first. AlterSend doesn't. Your data goes directly from one device to the other, so it never sits on someone else's cloud. Open the app, share a code or scan a QR, and start sending. WHY ALTERSEND • Private by design — direct, peer-to-peer, end-to-end encrypted. Your files are never stored in the cloud. • Fast & direct — send large files, folders, and long videos without waiting on slow uploads. • No size limits — share big videos and documents without compression or caps. • Cross-platform — move files between your devices: mobile and desktop. • No sign-up — no account, no email, no ads. • Simple pairing — connect with a short code or a QR scan. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open AlterSend on both devices. 2. Share the join code or scan the QR code to connect. 3. Pick your files and send — they arrive on the other device in seconds. GREAT FOR • Moving photos and videos between phone and computer • Sending large videos that are too big to email • Transferring documents, PDFs, and entire folders • Sharing files without cloud storage or an account • Backing up media from your phone to your Mac or PC PRIVATE BY DEFAULT AlterSend is built for people who care about privacy. There's no account to create and nothing to sign in to. Files transfer over an encrypted peer-to-peer connection and are nnever stored on our servers. When a direct connection isn't possible, an encrypted relay passes the data through without ever being able to read it. Download AlterSend and start sending files privately - no cloud storage, no limits. AlterSend Pro is an auto-renewable subscription. • Monthly — $6.99 per month • Yearly — $69.99 per year Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
