Frequently Asked Questions

What is HEIC format and why does Apple use it?

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's default photo format since iOS 11. It produces files roughly 50% smaller than JPG at equivalent quality using HEVC compression. Apple adopted it to save storage space on iPhones while maintaining excellent photo quality.

Why can't Windows open HEIC files?

Windows requires a separate HEVC codec extension to open HEIC files, which Microsoft charges for in the Microsoft Store. Converting HEIC to JPG eliminates this compatibility issue entirely, letting you view and share your iPhone photos on any Windows PC without installing extra software.

Does converting HEIC to JPG reduce photo quality?

There is a minimal quality reduction because JPG uses lossy compression. At high quality settings like 90-95%, the visual difference is imperceptible for most photographs. The conversion trades a slight quality loss for universal compatibility across all devices, platforms, and applications.
