Your images are never uploaded to any server, cloud service, or third-party platform. Keeping it all above board. Zero Data Collection — The extension collects absolutely no data. No analytics, no tracking, no telemetry. We don't know who you are, what images you save, or what websites you visit. Strewth, we're not nosey! No Account Required — There's no sign-up, no login, no subscription. Install it and start using it immediately. Easy as. No Network Requests — After installation, the extension makes zero network requests for its own operation. The only network activity is fetching the image you chose to convert, which happens directly between your browser and the website hosting the image. Open Processing — The conversion is powered by a WebAssembly encoder that runs in a sandboxed environment within your browser, providing an additional layer of security. 📐 Why HEIC? HEIC is the modern image format developed as part of the MPEG-H standard. Here's why it's grouse: Dramatically Smaller Files — HEIC images are typically 40-50% smaller than JPEG files at equivalent visual quality. That means more photos in less storage space. Ripper! Superior Image Quality — At the same file size, HEIC preserves significantly more detail, colour accuracy, and dynamic range compared to older formats. Bonza! Apple Ecosystem Native — HEIC is the default photo format on iOS and macOS. If you use an iPhone, iPad, or Mac, HEIC files integrate seamlessly with your Photos library, iMessage, AirDrop, and other Apple services. Smooth as. Modern Standard — HEIC is based on the HEVC (H.265) codec, the same technology used for 4K and 8K video streaming. It represents the cutting edge of image compression technology. Wide Compatibility — While HEIC originated in the Apple ecosystem, support has expanded to Windows, Android, and most modern image editing software. 👤 Who Is This For? Apple Users — If your phone shoots in HEIC, keep your web-saved images in the same format for a consistent, space-efficient library. No dramas. Photographers and Designers — Save reference images from the web in a high-quality, space-efficient format that preserves more detail than JPEG. Good stuff.
