Frequently Asked Questions

What is HEIC format?

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's default photo format since iOS 11. It offers better compression than JPG while maintaining quality, but isn't universally supported outside Apple devices.

Are my photos uploaded to a server?

No. All conversion happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your photos never leave your device — complete privacy guaranteed.

Should I convert to JPG or PNG?

Choose JPG for photos and smaller file sizes. Choose PNG for images that need transparency or pixel-perfect quality without compression artifacts.

Does conversion lose quality?

When converting to JPG, you can control quality with the slider (higher = better quality, larger file). PNG conversion is lossless, preserving all image data.

Can I convert multiple HEIC files at once?

Yes! Our batch converter handles multiple HEIC files simultaneously. Upload all your photos and convert them in one click.

Why can't I open HEIC files on Windows?

Windows doesn't natively support HEIC. You'd need Microsoft's HEIF Image Extensions from the Store, or simply convert to JPG/PNG using this free tool.

Will EXIF data be preserved?

The conversion focuses on image data. For best results with metadata preservation, use our tool to convert and then our Edit Metadata tool if needed.

What's the difference between HEIC and HEIF?

HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) is the container format, while HEIC specifically uses HEVC compression. Both are handled identically by this converter.

Can I convert Live Photos from iPhone?

This tool converts the still image component of HEIC files. Live Photo video data is separate and requires a different approach.

Is there a file size limit?

No hard limit. Since processing happens in your browser, it depends on your device's memory. Most devices handle files up to 50MB+ without issues.

How do I stop my iPhone from taking HEIC photos?

Go to Settings > Camera > Formats and select 'Most Compatible' to shoot in JPG instead of HEIC. Note this uses more storage.

Can I convert HEIC to WebP?

This dedicated tool converts to JPG and PNG. For WebP output, use our general Image Converter tool which supports HEIC input with WebP output.

Common Use Cases

Supported Formats

Format	Description	Best For
HEIC	High Efficiency Image Container — Apple default format	Input from iPhone/iPad
HEIF	High Efficiency Image Format — container standard	Input from Apple devices
JPG	Lossy compression, universal support	Photos, web sharing, email
PNG	Lossless, supports transparency	Screenshots, graphics, quality-critical images

Tips for Best Results

Use JPG at 90-95% quality for photos — best balance of quality and file size

Use PNG for screenshots or images with text — lossless quality

Batch convert all your iPhone photos at once — no file limit

Lower quality (70-80%) produces much smaller files, ideal for web use

About HEIC Format

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) uses HEVC (H.265) compression to store images at roughly half the file size of JPG at equivalent quality. Introduced by Apple in iOS 11 and macOS High Sierra, HEIC supports features like image sequences, depth maps, and HDR. While efficient, it lacks universal support outside Apple's ecosystem, making conversion to JPG or PNG necessary for cross-platform compatibility.
