Is my photo uploaded to your server?

No, absolutely not. All conversions happen entirely in your browser. Your photos never leave your device and are never uploaded to any server. We take privacy seriously - your photo contents remain completely private on your device throughout the entire conversion process.

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

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's modern image format used by default on iPhones and iPads since iOS 11. While HEIC offers excellent compression and quality, it has limited compatibility outside Apple devices. Converting to JPG ensures your photos work everywhere - on Windows PCs, Android devices, websites, and with all photo editing software.

What quality setting should I use?

It depends on your use case: Use 85-95% for most iPhone photos - this provides excellent quality while keeping file sizes reasonable. Use 95-100% for professional photography, printing, or archival purposes when you need maximum quality. Use 50-80% if you need smaller files for web sharing or email and can accept some quality reduction.

Will my JPG be larger than the original HEIC file?

It depends on the quality setting. HEIC uses very efficient compression, so at high quality settings (85-100%), your JPG might be similar in size or slightly larger. At lower quality settings (50-80%), the JPG will typically be smaller. The tool displays the exact file size comparison after conversion so you can see the difference.

Can I convert multiple HEIC files at once?

You can convert one file at a time. After converting and downloading your file, click the Clear button to start a new conversion. This simple workflow ensures you have full control over each conversion and makes credit usage transparent (1 credit per file).

Does HEIC to JPG conversion lose quality?

Yes, some quality loss occurs because both HEIC and JPG use lossy compression. However, at quality settings of 85% or higher, the difference is usually imperceptible to the human eye. HEIC is already a compressed format, so converting to JPG at high quality maintains most of the original image quality.

Can I convert HEIC files with transparency?

Yes, you can convert HEIC files that contain transparency, but JPG does not support transparent backgrounds. Any transparent areas will be automatically replaced with a white background during conversion. If you need to preserve transparency, consider converting to PNG format instead.

What is the maximum HEIC file size I can convert?

You can convert HEIC files up to 20MB in size. Most iPhone photos are well under this limit (typically 1-5MB). If you have a very large HEIC file, such as a ProRAW image or Live Photo, you may need to use a different tool or reduce the file size first.

Will this work with Live Photos?

This tool converts the still image portion of HEIC files. If you have a Live Photo, only the photo will be converted to JPG - the motion/video component will not be included. Live Photos are stored as HEIC + MOV files, and this tool processes the HEIC image file.

How does the conversion work?

All processing happens directly in your browser. When you upload a HEIC file, your browser converts it to JPG format locally on your device. This ensures fast, private, and secure conversions without any server-side processing or file uploads.
