Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my iPhone save photos as HEIC instead of JPG?

Apple uses HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) because it produces images roughly half the file size of JPG at comparable quality, saving storage on your device. You can change this in Settings > Camera > Formats > Most Compatible to shoot in JPG instead.

Will converting HEIC to JPG reduce photo quality?

At quality 90–100, the visual difference is negligible for most uses. Some quality is technically lost because JPG is lossy, but at high settings photos look identical for sharing, printing, and web use.

Can I convert multiple HEIC files at once?

Yes, batch conversion is supported. Select multiple HEIC files in the upload dialog and they will all be converted and made available for download together.

Does HEIC conversion preserve the photo's date and GPS data?

Basic EXIF data including date and camera settings is typically carried over, but GPS coordinates may or may not transfer depending on the file. Use the Remove EXIF tool if you want to strip location data before sharing.

Do I need to install anything on my Windows PC?

No. The converter runs entirely in your browser. Windows users can also pay for Apple's HEIC codec from the Microsoft Store, but our tool is a free, no-install alternative.
