Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A browser-based toolkit for viewing, converting, inspecting, compressing, and cleaning HEIC/HEIF photos.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-22 issue.

For: People handling HEIC photos without server uploads
Worth noticing: The catalogue includes metadata, GPS, structure, health, target-size, and contact-sheet operations.

Field notes

The site organizes its functionality as a catalogue rather than a single converter, with separate paths for conversion, inspection, optimization, extraction, and repair. Visible examples include EXIF and GPS reading, metadata-to-JSON export, exact target-size compression, contact-sheet generation, and HEIF box-tree inspection. Depth-map extraction, auxiliary-image extraction, and corruption repair are labeled as later or planned rather than established capabilities.
