HEIC Viewer FAQ
What is HEIC?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's default photo format on iPhone. It uses the HEIF standard to store images at half the file size of JPEG while maintaining the same quality, saving storage space on your device.
Why can't I open HEIC on Windows?
Windows does not natively support HEIC files without installing additional codecs from the Microsoft Store. Our free online viewer lets you view and convert HEIC images to JPEG instantly without installing anything.
Is there quality loss on conversion?
The conversion from HEIC to JPEG uses high-quality settings to minimize any quality loss. The output JPEG is visually identical to the original HEIC image for most use cases.
Why are my iPhone photos in HEIC format?
Apple uses HEIC as the default photo format on iPhones because it produces smaller file sizes than JPEG while preserving image quality, saving storage space on your device. You can change this in Settings > Camera > Formats.
