Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between HEIF and HEIC?▼
HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) is the general format standard, while HEIC (.heic) is the file extension and container Apple chose for saving HEIF photos encoded with HEVC on iPhones and iPads.
Can I convert HEIC photos on Windows without installing software?▼
Yes! Windows 10 and 11 often require a paid Microsoft Store extension to open HEIC files. Our online converter runs directly in Chrome, Edge, or Firefox without installing any software or codec.
Is there a limit on how many HEIF images I can convert?▼
No! You can convert unlimited files for free. For optimal browser performance, we recommend batches of up to 30-50 photos at a time.
Does converting HEIF to JPG lose Live Photo audio?▼
HEIF stores still image data, while Live Photos bundle a still image and a short .mov video. Converting HEIF to JPG extracts the high-resolution still photograph as a standard JPEG image.
Are my photos uploaded to your server?▼
No, never. The conversion runs 100% locally on your computer or phone using WebAssembly. Your photos are completely private.
