What is HEIC?

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's default photo format on iPhones and iPads. While it offers better compression than JPG, many Windows apps, websites, and older devices can't open HEIC files.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is HEIC and why does my iPhone use it?
HEIC is Apple's default photo format since iOS 11. It produces smaller files than JPG while keeping high quality, but many non-Apple devices cannot open it.
Will I lose quality converting HEIC to JPG?
At 90% quality the difference is virtually invisible. HEIC and JPG both use lossy compression, so the conversion is very efficient.
Can I convert multiple iPhone photos at once?
Yes, you can batch convert up to 20 HEIC photos to JPG at once by dropping them all into the upload area.
Why can't I open HEIC files on Windows?
Windows does not natively support HEIC without installing extra codecs. Converting to JPG gives you universal compatibility on any device.
Is this tool really free?
Yes, completely free with no hidden fees, no watermarks, and no sign-up required. You can convert as many files as you need.
Are my files private and secure?
Absolutely. Every conversion runs in an isolated, in-memory process. Your files never touch the disk, are never stored or shared, and are deleted from memory the moment your download is ready.
