Free converter
Anyfile converts a HEIC photo to a Windows icon for free, right in your browser: the file is never uploaded.
Files are converted in your browser and never uploaded. By using Anyfile you agree to the Terms of Use.
| Quality | Resized into 16, 32 and 48 pixel icons |
|---|---|
| Camera details and location | Left out: the ICO is saved without them |
| File size | Usually larger: ICO compresses less tightly than HEIC |
When to use ICO: Website favicons and application icons on Windows.
Open the file in the photo editor to choose before downloading:
.heic · .heif
Photos compressed with HEVC (H.265) inside the HEIF container, an MPEG standard. Apple made it the iPhone camera default with iOS 11 in 2017, and files are often about half the size of a JPEG.
Photos taken on iPhones and iPads, and on some Android phones and cameras.
Opens in Photos and Preview on Mac, Windows Photos with the HEIF extension, Lightroom
