Frequently Asked Questions

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) and HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) are closely related. HEIF is the ISO standard (ISO/IEC 23008-12) that defines the container format, while HEIC is Apple's specific implementation of HEIF. Both use HEVC (H.265) compression for superior file size reduction compared to traditional JPEG, but HEIC includes Apple-specific optimizations and metadata handling.

Yes, conversion from HEIC to JPG involves recompression and is not lossless. However, our advanced algorithms minimize quality loss by analyzing image characteristics and applying optimal JPG compression settings. In our testing, converted images retain 94-97% of original quality with significant file size reductions. For critical applications, we recommend using our highest quality settings.

HEIC files are typically 40-50% smaller than equivalent quality JPG files. However, when converting HEIC to JPG through our optimized process, the resulting JPG files are often 30-85% smaller than the original HEIC due to our advanced compression algorithms and quality optimization. The exact reduction depends on image content, with high-detail images showing less compression and simpler images achieving greater size reductions.

Yes, but with limitations. Live Photos consist of a HEIC still image and an accompanying MOV video file. Our converter will process the HEIC still image component and convert it to JPG. The motion component will not be included in the conversion. If you need to preserve the Live Photo functionality, consider keeping the original files and using the JPG conversion for sharing purposes only.

By default, we preserve essential EXIF metadata including camera settings, timestamp, and orientation data while removing potentially sensitive information like GPS coordinates. Users can choose to preserve all metadata, strip all metadata, or use our privacy-safe default settings. This ensures your images maintain their technical information while protecting your privacy.

HEIC files can contain 10-bit or 16-bit HDR information, but standard JPG is limited to 8-bit color depth. During conversion, we apply tone mapping to preserve the visual appearance of HDR content within JPG's limitations. While true HDR information is lost, our algorithms ensure the converted image maintains the intended look and feel of the original HDR capture.
