Frequently asked questions

What is HEIC and why are my iPhone photos saved as HEIC?

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the default photo format Apple has used since iOS 11. It stores roughly the same image quality as JPG at about half the file size, which is why iPhones use it. The trade-off is that Windows, Android, and many older programs still don't open HEIC natively, so people often need to convert to JPG before sharing.

How is this converter different from sites like Convertio or iLovePDF?

Those services upload your photos to their servers, run the conversion there, and download the result back. This tool runs the entire conversion inside your browser using a WebAssembly build of libheif — your photos never leave your device. That means it's private, works offline once the page is loaded, has no file-count limit, and there's no rate gate.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. Every conversion happens locally in your browser. You can verify this by opening your browser's Network tab — once the page and converter have loaded, no requests go out while you convert.

What's the maximum file size?

Each HEIC file should be under 50 MB and you can queue up to 20 files at once. The vast majority of iPhone photos are well under 10 MB, so this rarely comes up — the cap is there to protect your browser tab from running out of memory on unusually large files.

Can I convert HEIC to PNG instead?

Not yet — JPG is what most people need for sharing, and JPG output is roughly 5–10× smaller than PNG for photos. PNG and WebP output are on the roadmap. If you need PNG today, save as JPG here and re-export with any image editor.

Does it preserve EXIF metadata (date, camera, GPS)?

Not in this version. EXIF preservation is on the short list of follow-ups. For now, the converted JPG carries the image only.
