Frequently Asked Questions
What is HEIC?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's default photo format on iPhone and iPad since iOS 11. It uses HEVC compression for smaller files at the same quality as JPG.
Why convert HEIC to JPG?
JPG is universally supported. Many Windows apps, websites, and older software can't open HEIC files.
Is this free?
Yes, completely free.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Conversion happens entirely in your browser using a JavaScript library.
Does conversion lose quality?

Why is conversion slow?
HEIC decoding requires a large library (~2MB). The first conversion downloads it, subsequent ones are faster.
