Is my privacy protected when converting HEIC photos?

Yes, 100%. HEICPHOTO operates entirely in your web browser using WebAssembly and client-side JavaScript. Your images are never transmitted or saved to any external cloud or server.

Why does Apple use HEIC instead of PNG or JPG?

Apple introduced HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) in iOS 11 to save storage space while preserving high dynamic range photo data. However, Windows PCs, older Androids, and many websites cannot open HEIC natively, requiring conversion to universal PNG or JPG.

Can I convert multiple HEIC files at once?

Yes. You can drag and drop dozens of HEIC images simultaneously. Once converted, you can download each photo individually or grab all of them in a single compressed ZIP file.

What is the benefit of converting HEIC to PNG over JPG?

PNG is a lossless image format. Converting HEIC to PNG prevents compression artifacts, preserves sharp details, and maintains transparent alpha channels if present.
