When MediaCC is the better choice

  • Confidential photos or videos that must not leave your device
  • Quick convert/compress without creating an account
  • Batch processing several files with zero upload wait
  • HEIC photos from iPhone handled entirely on your phone or PC browser
  • You want a free tool with no watermarks and no hidden upload

When a sidebar tool may be worth trying

  • You need maximum compression quality (TinyPNG, Squoosh for images)
  • Rare formats like RAW, PSD, or professional codecs (CloudConvert, Convertio)
  • Very large videos (500MB+) that exceed browser memory (FreeConvert, Media.io)
  • Advanced bitrate/resolution sliders (VEED, Clideo for video)
  • Desktop batch workflows with CLI (HandBrake for video)

Detailed Usage Guide

How to Use

1. Format Conversion

  • Supported formats: JPG/JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, AVIF, HEIC, BMP, TIFF
  • Select "Convert" operation and choose the target format (e.g., JPG to PNG)
  • Click the "Start Processing" button, and the system will complete the conversion locally in your browser
  • After conversion, you can directly download the image in the new format

2. Image Compression

  • Select "Compress" operation and choose compression mode
  • Lossless compression: Maintains original quality while optimizing file size (approximately 10% reduction)
  • Lossy compression: Balances quality and file size, significantly reducing file size (approximately 50% reduction)
  • Supports batch processing of multiple image files

3. Batch Processing

  • You can upload multiple image files simultaneously
  • All files will be processed in queue order
  • Each file can be downloaded individually after processing is complete

4. File Size Limits & Notes

  • Single file limit: Maximum 150MB per image file
  • Total file size limit: Maximum 1000MB total file size per session
  • File count limit: Maximum 15 files can be processed simultaneously
  • Large file processing warnings:
    • Larger files take longer to process; we recommend keeping individual files under 50MB for the best experience
    • Files over 100MB may cause processing timeout or browser memory issues
    • If processing fails due to large file size, consider compressing the image with another tool first
    • Keep the browser tab open when processing large files to avoid interruption from switching tabs

Implementation Principles

Format Conversion Principle

  1. HEIC/HEIF: Decoded client-side via heic2any (WebAssembly), then output as JPG/PNG/WebP
  2. Other formats: Canvas API loads image, draws to canvas, exports via toBlob()
  3. For JPEG and WebP, quality parameters can be set (default 92%)
  4. AVIF and other unsupported formats may fallback to PNG or prompt the user

Compression Principle

  1. HEIC source: First converted to JPG/PNG via heic2any, then compressed
  2. Uses browser-image-compression for intelligent compression:
  3. Lossless compression: Maintains original format and quality while reducing file size through optimized encoding parameters
  4. Lossy compression: Adjusts quality parameters (70%) and compression algorithms to maximize compression ratio within acceptable visual quality
  5. Uses Web Worker for background thread processing without blocking the main interface
  6. Automatically maintains original resolution without changing image dimensions

Privacy & Security

All processing happens locally in your browser. MediaCC never uploads, stores, or analyzes your files. Your images stay on your device from start to finish – no server, no cloud, no third-party access.
