HEIC Conversion FAQ

What is HEIC and why do I need to convert it?

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's modern photo format that saves space while maintaining quality. However, it's not supported by Android, Windows (older versions), and many photo editing programs, making conversion necessary for universal compatibility.

Which format should I convert my HEIC photos to?

For general sharing and Android compatibility: JPG. For graphics with transparency needs: PNG. For modern web use: WebP. For presentations and documents: PDF. JPG is the most universally compatible choice.

Will converting HEIC to other formats reduce photo quality?

There may be minimal quality differences due to different compression methods, but at high quality settings (90-95%), the visual difference is usually imperceptible for most viewing and sharing purposes.

Can Android phones view HEIC photos directly?

Most Android phones cannot view HEIC photos natively. Converting HEIC to JPG ensures your iPhone photos can be viewed, shared, and edited on any Android device or non-Apple platform.

How do I stop my iPhone from taking HEIC photos?

Go to Settings > Camera > Formats and select 'Most Compatible' instead of 'High Efficiency'. However, converting existing HEIC photos is often better as it maintains the space-saving benefits while ensuring compatibility when needed.

Are my HEIC files secure during conversion?

Absolutely. All conversion happens locally in your browser. Your HEIC files never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy and security of your personal photos and memories.
