Frequently asked questions
Why does my iPhone save photos as HEIC?
HEIC compresses more efficiently than JPG, saving storage space. iOS shares photos as JPG automatically in many apps, but direct file uploads often keep the original HEIC.
Will this work with iPhone Live Photos?
Only the still image is converted; the motion portion of a Live Photo is not part of the HEIC file used here.
Is my photo uploaded to decode it?
No β decoding runs entirely in your browser using a local decoder, not a server.
Is anything uploaded?
No. Conversion happens entirely in your browser β your images never leave your device.
