What is the difference between HEIF and HEIC?

HEIF is the broader format standard; HEIC is Apple's specific implementation of it using HEVC-compressed images. In practice the files are nearly interchangeable, and this converter reads both. Samsung and some Android phones also produce HEIF-family files in high-efficiency photo mode.

Why won't my computer open a HEIF file?

Windows 10 needs the HEIF Image Extensions from the Microsoft Store, older Photoshop needs a plugin, and many web uploaders simply reject the format. Converting to JPG sidesteps all of these compatibility gaps at once.

Will I lose quality converting HEIF to JPG?

A little, because both are lossy and JPG is less efficient. FileConvertir saves JPG at quality 92, which is visually indistinguishable from the source for almost all photos. Fine text and sharp graphics may show slight artifacts — for those, PNG is a better target.

Are my photos uploaded anywhere?

No. Conversion runs 100% in your browser using WebAssembly. Your images never leave your device.

Will the JPG be bigger than the HEIF?

Usually about 1.5–2× larger, because HEIF compresses far more efficiently than JPG. That size increase is the cost of universal compatibility.

Can I convert HEIF photos on my phone?

Yes — open the page in Safari 16+ on iPhone or Chrome on Android, pick the photo from your gallery, and download the JPG. Everything happens on the phone.

Can I batch convert HEIF to JPG?

Yes, up to 20 files at once, downloadable as a single ZIP.

Is EXIF metadata kept?

Basic image data is preserved, but some EXIF fields may be stripped during conversion for privacy. For professional workflows that need full metadata, use a desktop tool.
