suffix for windows

it doesn't exist yet. that's what this page is for.

the mac version is built almost entirely out of apple's own frameworks — imageio, pdfkit, avfoundation, vision. windows has none of them, so it isn't a port, it's a rewrite. worth doing if enough people actually want it.

no launch date, no email list you can't leave, no "exciting news soon".

Put your name down

what's your email?

plz make sure it's right, there's no password reset for a waitlist.

what would you use it for?

honestly, "heic photos my windows laptop refuses to open" is a complete answer.

(optional) do you write windows code? want to help?

the mac version is MIT and the whole engine is documented. it would go faster with someone who knows the platform.

there's no server behind this page, so Submit writes your answers into a GitHub issue and shows it to you before anything is posted. you can read it, edit it, or close the tab.

what a windows version would have to replace

ImageIO — reads and writes 20 image formatsno
PDFKit — pages, text layers, renderingno
AVFoundation — video and audio, hardware encodersno
Vision — on-device OCR, no model to downloadno
FSEvents — knowing a file was renamedno

windows has answers for all five, they're just other people's libraries with other people's licences. that's the work, and it's why this is a page with a form on it rather than a download.

In the meantime

the honest answer

if you need this today and you're on windows, use one of those converter sites. they work. they're just tedious, and they see your files.

if you have a mac too

the mac version is here, free, and takes about a minute to set up.
