What is HEIC format and why can't I open it?

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's default photo format since iOS 11. It offers better compression than JPEG but isn't natively supported on Windows, Android, or most web browsers.

Does this converter upload my photos to a server?

No. All conversion happens locally in your browser using WebAssembly. Your photos never leave your device and are discarded from memory when you close the tab.

Will converting from HEIC reduce image quality?

Converting to PNG is lossless — no quality is lost. Converting to JPEG may have minimal quality reduction depending on the quality setting you choose (default is 90%).
