HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's default image format for iOS devices since iOS 11. It uses HEVC (H.265) codec to achieve up to 50% smaller file sizes compared to JPEG while maintaining equivalent or better quality. For web publishing, consider converting to WebP or optimized PNG for broader compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's image format that uses HEVC compression. It offers 50% smaller file sizes than JPEG while maintaining equivalent quality. iPhones running iOS 11 or later save photos in HEIC by default.
Windows doesn't include native HEIC support. You can either install the HEIC codec from Microsoft Store (costs $0.99) or use our free HEIC to JPG converter to convert files to a universally compatible format.
HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) is the container format specification, while HEIC is specifically HEIF files using HEVC compression. Apple uses both terms interchangeably. Our converters support both .heic and .heif file extensions.
Converting from HEIC to JPG involves some quality loss since both use lossy compression. For best results, use high quality settings (90-95%). For lossless conversion, convert to PNG instead.
Go to Settings > Camera > Formats and select "Most Compatible" instead of "High Efficiency". This will save photos as JPG. However, you'll use roughly twice the storage space.
Yes, HEIC supports alpha channels for transparency. When converting to other formats, use HEIC to PNG to preserve transparency. JPG doesn't support transparent backgrounds.
Our HEIC converters process files directly in your browser when possible, meaning your photos never leave your device. For complex operations requiring server processing, files are automatically deleted after conversion.
