Frequently Asked Questions

What is HEIC and why can't I open it?

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's default photo format since iOS 11. It uses HEVC compression to produce smaller files than JPG. However, many Windows PCs, websites, and apps don't natively support HEIC, so converting to JPG ensures compatibility everywhere.

Does converting HEIC to JPG reduce quality?

HEIC is a lossy format similar to JPG. Converting between them involves re-encoding, so there is a minor quality loss. At high quality settings (85%+), the difference is imperceptible to the human eye. Set quality to 100% for maximum fidelity.

Will EXIF data (date, camera info) be preserved?

Yes. When converting HEIC to JPG, the EXIF metadata including capture date, camera model, GPS coordinates, and other properties are preserved in the output file.

Can I convert HEIC to PNG instead?

Yes. Use the Image Converter tool for more output format options including PNG, WebP, and AVIF. PNG offers lossless quality but produces larger files than JPG.

Is there a file size limit for HEIC files?

Since all processing happens in your browser, the practical limit depends on your device's available memory. Most HEIC photos under 50MB work fine. Very large images (100MB+) may cause performance issues on lower-end devices.

Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No. HEIC decoding and JPG conversion happen entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your photos are never uploaded, stored, or transmitted anywhere.

Can I convert HEIC files on Windows or Linux?

Yes. This tool runs entirely in your browser, so it works on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Chromebook. No software installation is needed. Simply open the page in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari and open your HEIC files for instant conversion.

How long does it take to convert a HEIC file?

Conversion happens instantly in your browser. A standard 12MP HEIC photo from an iPhone converts in under one second on most modern devices. Larger files or batch processing may take slightly longer, but there is zero server waiting time.

Can I convert HEIC files from Android or other devices?

Yes. While HEIC is most commonly associated with Apple devices, many Android phones (since Android 10) also support HEIC. This tool accepts HEIC files from any source, including Android, digital cameras, and other devices.

What happens if I open a non-HEIC file in this tool?

The tool also supports JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, BMP, and SVG input formats. Non-HEIC files will still be processed and converted to JPG. HEIC files are decoded using WebAssembly, while other formats use the browser's native decoding.
