Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Apple use HEIC instead of JPG?

Apple adopted HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) because it provides superior compression, saving approximately 50% storage space compared to JPEG at equivalent visual quality.

Will converting HEIC to JPG degrade photo quality?

At standard quality settings (80%–90%), the conversion preserves virtually all visible detail and color depth.

Does this tool work with Live Photos?

Yes. It extracts and converts the high-resolution still image from the Live Photo.
