Remove Background from HEIC Images

Remove the background from iPhone HEIC photos directly, with no JPG conversion and no upload.

How to remove the background from a HEIC photo

  1. Choose a HEIC photo from your iPhone, iPad or Mac, or drag and drop it onto the page.
  2. Your browser reads the HEIC file and the AI removes the background locally; nothing is uploaded to a server.
  3. Download the result as a transparent PNG.

Why convert files in your browser?

No upload wait

Processing starts the moment you select a file. Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so even large batches are quick.

Total confidentiality

Private photos, contracts and bank statements stay on your device. No one else, including us, ever sees them.

Nothing stored on a server

Your files are never copied to a server, so they can’t leak in a breach, be kept longer than you think, or be reused.

Frequently asked questions

Does this support iOS Live Photos and HEIC files directly?

Yes for HEIC: drop the .HEIC file straight from your iPhone, iPad or Mac, with no JPG conversion needed. A Live Photo is a HEIC still plus a short video; the tool uses the still image, which is the photo you see in your library.

Is transparency preserved as PNG?

Yes. The result is a PNG with a transparent background, ready for slides, product sheets or design tools. You can also choose a solid colour or a blurred background before downloading.

Are my personal photos private?

Your photo is decoded and processed by your browser, on your device. It is never uploaded and nothing is stored on a server.

Why is the PNG smaller than my original photo?

Photos above 16 megapixels, such as 24 or 48 MP shots from recent iPhones, are scaled down to 16 MP so they can be processed reliably in every browser, including Safari.
