Frequently Asked Questions
Why does iPhone save photos in HEIC instead of JPG?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) stores photos at roughly half the file size of JPG at equivalent quality, saving storage space on your device. Apple adopted it by default in iOS 11.
Will converting HEIC to JPG reduce photo quality?
HEIC to JPG conversion involves some quality loss since JPG uses lossy compression. At 90%+ quality settings, the difference is barely visible. The default quality setting preserves excellent photo quality.
Can I batch convert a whole photo library from HEIC to JPG?
Yes — upload multiple HEIC files at once and they all convert simultaneously. The batch output is packaged in a ZIP for easy download.
Do iCloud shared photos convert correctly?
Yes — HEIC files downloaded from iCloud (via icloud.com or AirDrop) convert the same as any other HEIC file.
What about HEIF files — are they the same as HEIC?
HEIC and HEIF are related — HEIC is Apple's implementation of the HEIF container format. Both .heic and .heif files are supported by this converter.
