How it works / no cloud

A conversion engine, not an upload form.

filetity decodes each HEIC with libheif compiled to WebAssembly, the same decoder the HEIC to JPG tool uses, then writes the photos into a PDF with one page per photo at its full pixel size. Both steps happen in this page. The photos are never uploaded.

Straight answers

No accordion. Nothing hidden.

Is it free?
Yes, with no watermark and no page limit.
Does it need an account?
No. There is no account system.
Is my file processed on my device?
Yes. The file is read by your browser and never uploaded. There is no server to send it to.
What formats are supported?
HEIC and HEIF in. One PDF out, one page per photo, each page the size of its photo. Photos are stored as JPEG inside the PDF.
What are the limits?
One photo per page, in the order shown, which you can change. A HEIC holding several images, such as a burst or a Live Photo, contributes only its main photo. No limit on how many photos, beyond the memory your device gives the browser.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes, on any modern mobile browser. Large files are limited by the memory the phone gives the browser.
Does it work offline?
Yes, after the first use. The decoder is about 347 KB and downloads once, then your browser keeps it, so later visits work with no network connection.
Why would I want a PDF instead of the photos?
Because forms ask for one. Landlords, universities, visa applications and HR systems usually want a single PDF, and what you have is four photos of a document taken on an iPhone. This puts them in one file, in order, without you needing a scanner.
Can I change the page order?
Yes. Each photo is a row with arrows to move it up or down, and the pages come out in the order shown. The numbers beside them are the page numbers you will get.
Why is my PDF large, and what does the quality slider do?
A modern phone photo is twelve megapixels or more, and four of them make a big file whatever you do. The slider sets how hard each photo is compressed on its way into the PDF. At 85 you would struggle to see the difference; drop to 60 if the form has an upload limit.
Does this run optical character recognition on the pages?
No. The pages are pictures of your document, not searchable text, exactly like a photo would be. If you need the words out of it, use the OCR tool instead, which reads text from an image or a scanned PDF.
