How do I open a HEIC file on Windows?

Windows 10/11 does not open HEIC by default. Download the free HEIC Converter — it converts HEIC to JPG, PNG, PDF in seconds, entirely offline.

What is the difference between HEIC and JPG?

HEIC uses the modern HEVC (H.265) codec and takes roughly half the space of a JPG at the same quality, because JPG uses the 1992 JPEG codec. HEIC supports transparency and 16-bit color, but is not compatible with every device, so converting to JPG is often useful.

Can you convert iPhone MOV video to AVI or MP4?

Yes. HEIC Converter converts MOV video to AVI (MJPEG or MPEG-4 Xvid codecs) and MP4 (H.264, H.265, AV1) while preserving the audio track.

Is it safe to upload photos to an online converter?

Online converters upload your files to a server. HEIC Converter is a desktop app for Windows: processing happens locally and files never leave your computer.
