How do I convert a MOS file to HEIC using LetsConvert?

Go to the MOS to HEIC page, click upload, select your .mos image, and choose HEIC as the target format. After processing, download the .heic file. The entire conversion happens in your browser—no RAW editor or plugin needed.

Why convert MOS to HEIC instead of keeping the original?

MOS files are high-resolution RAW captures from Leaf/Phase One digital backs. They are huge and hard to open on phones or web apps. HEIC with HEVC compression is 30-50% smaller and fully supported on iPhone, iPad, and Windows with the HEIF extension. This makes images shareable and editable without proprietary software.

What happens to the RAW data, color depth, and EXIF when converting to HEIC?

When converting MOS to HEIC, the RAW Bayer data is demosaiced into RGB, color calibrated, and encoded as HEIC with 10-bit color depth. EXIF tags (camera, lens, GPS, etc.) are preserved. Note that dynamic range is flattened to an SDR tone map; there is no support for the original linear raw sensor data, so for pro archival needs keep the raw file.
