What is HEIC Format?

HEIC means High Efficiency Image Container. It became Apple’s default photo format in 2017 with the introduction of iOS 11. HEIC is based on the HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) standard, which uses HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding, also called H.265) compression. HEIC can maintain the same quality of images of JPGs but takes about 50% less storage space.

Another unique feature of HEIC lies in its ability to save multiple images in one file, which is how iPhone’s burst shots and Live Photos work. It also keeps transparency like a PNG, depth maps for portrait mode, and richer color information (16-bit color). The primary issue with HEIC is its compatibility. HEIC is a newer format compared to JPG. Many apps, websites, and older devices don’t support it. This is the reason most people choose to convert HEIC to JPG before editing or sharing.

Frequently Asked Questions

A HEIC converter online converts HEIC photos into formats like JPG, PNG, or PDF. iPhones and iPads save photos as HEIC by default, which saves storage space but is not supported everywhere. HEIC conversion makes it easier to share these iPhone photos with friends or edit them in HEIC-incompatible software.

Upload your HEIC photo to AhaConvert, select JPG as the output, and start the conversion. The file will be compressed a little bit since JPG is a lossy format, but our HEIC converter has been optimized to keep the photo looking almost identical to your original one.

Yes. But remember, a Live Photo includes a still HEIC image and a short video clip (MOV). By converting, you can take that motion part and turn it into MP4 or GIF. They are more compatible with most devices and platforms.

Yes, kind of. PNG preserves more detail than JPG because it uses lossless compression. The trade-off is size: PNG files are usually much larger than HEIC or JPG. If you care most about quality, use PNG; otherwise, JPG is a better option.

Absolutely. All the image files, whether uploaded or downloaded, are kept safe during processing. We use 256-bit SSL encryption, store files in a secure cloud environment, and automatically delete them within 24 hours.

HEIC sometimes stores extra details like depth maps for portrait mode or multiple images for bursts. Most HEIC converters, including ours, focus on the main photo, so some extra data may not transfer. If you only need the photo itself, you won’t lose anything important.

Sure, you can save HEIC images as PDF documents, especially when you want to send a set of photos as a single document or print them without one-by-one conversion.

You can use our HEIC converter on any modern device. It works on Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhones, Android, and tablets. Since it’s web-based, there is no need to install additional software or extensions. Just open “aahh.10smt.com” in your browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge), upload your file, and download the HEIC result.
