Frequently asked questions
What is a HEIC file?
The format the iPhone has used for photos since iOS 11. It is compact, but Windows and many websites cannot open it, so it is usually converted to JPG.
How do I open a HEIC file?
You can open it right here to convert it into something more convenient. If your computer does not recognise it, the practical move is to convert it to a universal format such as JPG or PNG.
What is the maximum HEIC size here?
100 MB. Since conversion happens inside your browser, the limit comes from your device memory, not from a server.
Are my HEIC files uploaded to a server?
No. All processing happens on your own device, so the file never leaves it.
