Frequently Asked Questions

What is HEIC format?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is a modern container format developed by MPEG. It provides superior compression compared to JPEG, keeping the same visual quality at half the file size. It has been the default format for Apple's iPhone camera since the iOS 11 update.
Why should I convert JPEG to HEIC?
HEIC files are typically 40-50% smaller than JPEGs. Converting helps you avoid upgrading your iCloud storage plan and keeps your devices running fast. It also supports 16-bit color depth and transparency, unlike standard JPEG.
Can I open HEIC files on Windows?
Yes. While Apple devices (iOS 11+, macOS High Sierra+) support HEIC natively, Windows 10 and 11 users can view them by installing the free HEIF Image Extensions from the Microsoft Store. For older systems, a JPEG backup is recommended.
Will converting affect photo quality?
The process re-encodes the image data. If you use the recommended 80-95% quality setting, the visual difference will be undetectable to the naked eye, but you will still gain significant storage savings.
Are my files secure?
Absolutely. All conversion logic runs locally within your web browser using JavaScript. None of your personal images are ever transmitted to a server or stored in the cloud.
