Frequently Asked Questions
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's image format based on the HEVC video codec. It's used as the default image format on iOS devices since iOS 11, offering excellent compression while maintaining high quality.
To convert HEIC to JPG, upload your HEIC file using our converter above, select JPG as the output format, and click convert. This ensures your images can be viewed and shared on all devices and platforms.
HEIC files are primarily supported on Apple devices and software. Many other devices and applications don't support this format yet, which is why converting to more universal formats like JPG or PNG is often necessary.
HEIC typically provides better compression than JPG, meaning smaller file sizes with the same quality. However, JPG has much broader compatibility across all devices and platforms.
Yes, HEIC can contain multiple images in a single file, including burst photos and Live Photos from iOS devices. Our converter can extract individual images from these collections.
Convert HEIC to JPG or PNG for universal compatibility. Our converter makes this easy - upload your HEIC files and download JPG versions that can be viewed on any device or platform.
Yes! Our converter can handle HEIC Live Photos. You can extract the still image, convert the motion to MP4 video, or convert the entire Live Photo to other formats while preserving the motion component.
HEIC typically achieves 50% better compression than JPEG with similar quality. This means HEIC files are about half the size of equivalent JPG files, which is why iPhones can store more photos in the same space.
For lossless conversion, convert HEIC to PNG. For photos where slight quality reduction is acceptable, convert to high-quality JPG (90-95% quality). Our converter preserves maximum quality during the conversion process.
HEIC uses HEVC codec technology that requires licensing fees. Microsoft includes basic support in Windows 10/11, but full support requires codec installation. Converting to JPG/PNG eliminates compatibility issues entirely.
