Frequently Asked Questions
What is HEIC format?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's default photo format introduced in iOS 11. It uses the HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) standard and provides about 50% better compression than JPG while maintaining the same image quality. iPhones and iPads save photos in HEIC by default.
Why are my iPhone photos in HEIC format?
Apple uses HEIC as the default photo format because it saves storage space — HEIC files are roughly half the size of equivalent JPG files. This means you can store more photos on your iPhone. You can change this in Settings > Camera > Formats, but existing photos will remain in HEIC.
Can Windows open HEIC files?
Windows 10 and 11 can open HEIC files if you install the HEIF Image Extensions from the Microsoft Store (free). However, many Windows apps, email clients, and websites still don't support HEIC. Converting to JPG ensures universal compatibility across all platforms.
Will converting to JPG reduce the photo quality?
There is minimal quality loss at the default 92% quality setting. The conversion produces high-quality JPG files that are visually indistinguishable from the original HEIC photos. You can adjust the quality slider if you want to further optimize file size.
Can I convert multiple HEIC photos at once?
Currently, this tool converts one photo at a time. You can convert photos back-to-back — each conversion typically takes just a few seconds. The tool is designed for quick, easy conversions right in your browser.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. The entire conversion runs locally in your browser. Your photos never leave your device, making this tool completely private and secure. There are no uploads, no accounts, and no data collection.
