Frequently Asked Questions

What is HEIC format?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is a modern format developed by MPEG. It offers significantly better compression than JPEG while keeping the same visual quality. Apple has used HEIC as the standard on iPhones and iPads since iOS 11.
Why convert JPEG to HEIC?
HEIC files are typically 40-50% smaller than equivalent JPEGs. Converting saves storage on your device and iCloud backup space. It also supports 16-bit colour, which is brilliant for high-quality edits.
Can all devices open HEIC files?
Apple devices (iOS 11+, macOS High Sierra+) open HEICs natively. Windows 10/11 PCs can view them with the free HEIF extension. Some Android phones support them too, but for sharing with older tech, keeping a JPEG copy is a safe bet.
Is there quality loss when converting?
The process re-encodes the image, which might cause minimal changes. Using high quality settings (80-95%) keeps the photo looking sharp while still saving space compared to the original JPEG.
Are my files safe?
Absolutely. All conversion happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your photos are never uploaded to a server. Once you close the tab, the data is cleared from your system.
