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.
Why is my converted JPG bigger than the original HEIC?
HEIC's HEVC codec compresses far more efficiently than JPG, so at 100% quality a 5 MB HEIC photo can become 6–8 MB as a JPG. Drop the quality slider to 70–80%; the file lands close to the original size with little visible loss on photos.
Why can't Windows open my HEIC files?
Windows 10/11 has no built-in HEIC support, so the Photos app shows an error or nothing. Three options: convert here in the browser (nothing to install), add the free HEIF Image Extensions from the Microsoft Store, or use IrfanView / XnView MP with their HEIC plugins. macOS and iOS open HEIC natively.
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.
