Frequently Asked Questions

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is a file format introduced by Apple in iOS 11. It uses advanced compression to store high-quality images at roughly half the file size of JPEG. HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) is the underlying format specification that HEIC implements.

Windows doesn't natively support HEIC format. You need to install the "HEIF Image Extensions" from the Microsoft Store, or use our viewer which works directly in your browser without any installation required.

Yes, absolutely. All image processing happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your HEIC files are never uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy for your personal photos.

You can view EXIF data including camera model, lens information, exposure settings (aperture, shutter speed, ISO), GPS coordinates, date and time taken, color space, and more. The metadata tab shows all available information embedded in your image.

Yes! After viewing your HEIC file, you can export it as JPG or PNG using the export buttons. For batch conversion of multiple files, try our dedicated HEIC to JPG or HEIC to PNG converters.

The viewer supports HEIC files up to 50MB. Since processing happens in your browser, very large files may take longer to decode depending on your device's performance. For optimal speed, files under 20MB work best.
