Frequently Asked Questions

Is converting HEIC to TXT free?

Yes. This HEIC → TXT converter runs entirely in your browser and is completely free — no account, no credits, no watermark.

Which devices and platforms can I use to convert HEIC to TXT?

Any modern device with a current web browser: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iPhone and iPad. There is nothing to install — the conversion happens locally.

Are my HEIC files uploaded to a server?

No. Files never leave your device. The entire HEIC → TXT conversion runs locally in your browser, so your data stays private.

Can I convert multiple HEIC files at once?

Yes — batch conversion is supported. Add as many HEIC files as you like and convert them to TXT in one pass, then download the results together.

What is the maximum file size?

There is no fixed server-side limit because the conversion happens in your browser. Practical limits depend on the available memory and CPU of your device.

Will converting HEIC to TXT lose quality?

No. TXT is a lossless format (or used in a lossless mode here), so the original data from your HEIC file is preserved bit-for-bit in the converted result.

Will transparent areas of my HEIC file be kept in TXT?

No — TXT does not support transparency. Transparent areas of your HEIC file will be flattened onto a solid background colour during conversion.

How will the file size change after converting HEIC to TXT?

Both formats use comparable compression, so the TXT output will be similar in size to your HEIC file — typically within 10–20% of each other.
