FAQ
What is a HEIC file?
HEIC is an image format commonly used by Apple devices for photos. It can keep good image quality with smaller file sizes, but some apps still do not support it.
Does this upload my image?
No. The selected HEIC or HEIF file is decoded in your browser session. The tool does not need a server upload to preview or export the file.
Can I save the image as JPG or PNG?
Yes. After the preview is ready, use the JPG or PNG download buttons to create a more widely supported copy.
Should I choose JPG or PNG?
Choose JPG for broad compatibility. Choose PNG when you want a lossless copy for documentation, screenshots, or design workflows.
Does this work without the Windows HEVC extension?
The browser-side decoder is separate from Windows Photos or the Microsoft HEVC extension. Final compatibility still depends on the browser and HEIC variant.
Can this repair a corrupted HEIC file?
No. This is a viewer and export helper, not a photo repair tool.
