About the HEIC / HEIF & JPG / JPEG Formats
HEIC / HEIF (High Efficiency Image File Format)
HEIC is the file format name Apple chose for the new HEIF standard. It uses advanced compression algorithms to store high-quality images in half the file size of a JPG.
- About 50% smaller file size than JPEG with the same quality
- Supports auxiliary data like depth maps, bursts, and live photos
- Supports 16-bit color depth (compared to JPG's 8-bit)
- Limited native browser compatibility (does not render directly in Chrome or Firefox)
- Proprietary patent issues limit open adoption
- Needs conversion before uploading to many web applications
JPG / JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
JPEG is a widely used lossy compression standard for digital images, particularly for those produced by digital photography. It achieves a balance between image quality and file size.
- Extremely high compatibility across all devices and browsers
- Small file sizes for photographic images
- Adjustable compression ratio
- Lossy compression degrades quality with repeated edits
- Does not support transparency (alpha channel)
- Does not support animation

Frequently Asked Questions
Why doesn't Chrome show my HEIC files directly?
HEIC is a proprietary format and standard browsers do not want to pay licensing costs for it. Our tool solves this by loading an in-browser WASM-based decoder to handle the HEIC file locally.
Are my iPhone HEIC photos uploaded online?
Absolutely not. Like all our converters, HEIC decoding runs entirely inside your browser sandbox on your computer. Your photos are never sent to any server.
