What is HEIC Format?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is a modern image format developed by Apple and used as the default photo format on iPhones and iPads since iOS 11. It uses advanced HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) compression to store high-quality images at roughly half the file size of traditional JPEG images.
While HEIC offers excellent compression and quality, it's not universally supported across all platforms and applications, which is why converting to JPG is often necessary for sharing and compatibility.

- Upload your HEIC file by dragging and dropping or clicking to select
- Adjust the quality slider if desired (default is 90% for best results)
- Click "Convert to JPG" to start the conversion
- Preview your converted image and download it
