View and inspect Apple HEIC photos, check EXIF camera data, dimensions, color depth, and extract embedded metadata from your images.
Based on resolution, file size, and metadata presence. Higher scores indicate better quality source images.
HEIC uses H.265/HEVC compression, providing 50% better compression than JPEG with similar quality.
Contains camera settings, date/time, GPS coordinates, and device information from when the photo was taken.
HEIC is Apple's default photo format since iOS 11. It preserves Live Photos, Depth data, and HDR information.
HEIC achieves the same quality as JPEG at half the file size, saving storage space on your device.
Supports over 1 billion colors compared to JPEG's 16 million, perfect for HDR content.
Can store Live Photos, burst shots, and image sequences in a single file with audio.
Stores edit instructions separately, allowing you to revert to the original image anytime.
HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) is the container format, while HEIC is specifically HEIF with HEVC (H.265) compression. Apple uses .heic extension for photos taken on iPhones and iPads. Both terms are often used interchangeably.
Windows requires the HEVC Video Extensions from the Microsoft Store (may cost $0.99) to open HEIC files. Alternatively, you can convert them to JPG or PNG using our free converter tools for universal compatibility.
Yes! HEIC supports alpha channel transparency, 10-bit color depth, and even animation. It's technically superior to both JPEG and PNG in many ways, but lacks universal browser and software support.
Yes, all uploaded files are automatically deleted from our servers within one hour. We do not store, share, or analyze your files beyond providing the analysis results you see on screen.
HEIC files can contain camera make/model, lens info, exposure settings (aperture, shutter speed, ISO), date/time, GPS coordinates, and even depth maps from Portrait mode. Consider stripping this data before sharing publicly.
