Frequently Asked Questions
What is HEIC?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's implementation of the HEIF format. iPhones use it by default because it stores photos at approximately half the file size of JPEG with equivalent or better quality.
Why can't Windows open my iPhone photos?
Windows does not natively support HEIC without installing the HEIF Image Extensions codec from the Microsoft Store. Converting to JPG is the easiest cross-platform solution.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. HEIC to JPG conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly. Your photos never leave your device.
How do I stop my iPhone from taking HEIC photos?
Go to Settings → Camera → Formats, and select 'Most Compatible'. This switches your iPhone to capturing JPGs instead of HEICs.
