Frequently Asked Questions

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's default camera format for iPhone and iPad. It offers better compression than JPEG - meaning smaller files at the same visual quality - but has limited support outside of Apple's ecosystem.

Windows doesn't include native HEIC support. You can either install the HEIF Image Extensions from the Microsoft Store or simply convert your HEIC files to JPG or PNG using our free tool - no installation required.

Open this website in Safari on your iPhone, tap the upload zone, and select photos from your camera roll. The conversion runs in Safari, and you can save the resulting JPG files to your device. No app to install.

Your files are never uploaded anywhere. All conversion happens locally inside your browser using JavaScript. We have no access to your photos, filenames, or any content from your device.
