FAQ

Q1: What is HEIC format?

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's image format used by default on iPhones since iOS 11. It offers better compression than JPG while maintaining quality, but isn't universally supported.

Q2: Why can't I open my iPhone photos on Windows?

Windows doesn't natively support HEIC. Converting to JPG makes your photos viewable on any device or software.

Q3: Does this work in all browsers?

HEIC support varies by browser. Safari on macOS/iOS has native support. Chrome and Edge on newer systems may work. If conversion fails, try Safari or a desktop app.

Q4: Are my photos uploaded anywhere?

No. All conversion happens locally in your browser. Your photos never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy.

Q5: Can I convert multiple HEIC files at once?

Yes! Select multiple files, convert them all with one click, and download as a ZIP archive.
