Question 1

What is HEIC format?

Accepted Answer

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's default image format for iPhones. It offers better compression than JPEG while maintaining quality, but is not widely supported outside Apple devices.

Question 2

Why convert HEIC to JPG/PNG?

Accepted Answer

JPG and PNG are universally supported formats. Converting HEIC allows you to share images with Windows users, upload to websites, or use in applications that don't support HEIC.

Question 3

Why is Safari required?

Accepted Answer

HEIC files use the HEVC codec which requires paid licensing. Only Safari on Mac/iPhone can decode HEIC because Apple includes the codec. Chrome and Firefox cannot decode HEIC due to licensing restrictions.

Question 4

What if I don't have Safari?

Accepted Answer

On iPhone: open Settings → Camera → Formats → choose "Most Compatible" to take photos as JPEG. Or when sharing, tap Options and select JPEG format.

Question 5

Is this converter safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes! All conversion happens directly in your browser using your device's processing power. Your images are never uploaded to any server.
