Why convert STEP to HEIC?
STEP (ISO 10303) is the neutral exchange format for precise 3D CAD models, exported by SolidWorks, Fusion, CATIA, Inventor and most other engineering tools. FreeCAD reads the solid and every edge is projected into a standard isometric view, drawn as dark lines on white so the full wireframe of the part is visible.
HEIC uses High Efficiency Image Coding, the format iPhones and iPads save photos in, so the image is compact while staying sharp.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert STEP to HEIC?
Drop your STEP file above and press Convert. Our servers load the model in FreeCAD, project its edges into an isometric drawing, place it on a PDF page and render that page as the image you chose. The result is saved as a HEIC image, ready to download.
Which view of the model appears in the HEIC from a STEP file?
A standard isometric view, looking down on the model from one corner with the Z axis pointing up, so length, width and height all show in one image.
Are curved surfaces of a STEP model drawn smoothly in the HEIC?
Yes. Each curved edge is traced in short segments sized to the model, about 1/1200 of its overall diagonal, so circles, fillets and holes appear as smooth curves.
What happens when a STEP file fills several HEIC pages?
Each page is rendered at 144 dpi and saved as its own HEIC image, named page-1, page-2 and so on, and they download together as one ZIP. A single page downloads as one HEIC file.
How compact is the HEIC made from a STEP file?
HEIC uses High Efficiency Image Coding, which typically needs about half the space of a JPG of similar quality, so even detailed pages stay small.
Is my .step file kept private?
Your file is uploaded over an encrypted connection, converted on our servers and deleted automatically within 24 hours. We never read, share or keep your files, and no account is needed.
