Why HEIC is a hassle
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) keeps iPhone photos small without losing quality. The catch is support: older Windows installs, many Chromebooks and Linux desktops can't open it without extra codecs or apps.
Open HEIC in your browser
- Open the editor.
- Drag in your .heic file, or use File › Open.
- Edit if you like, then File › Export › Export As and choose JPEG, PNG or WebP.
Do more than convert
Since you're in a full editor, you can fix the photo before you export it:
- Brighten and grade it with the Camera Raw–style filter
- Remove a photobomber with Content-Aware Fill
- Cut out the subject with Remove Background
- Crop, straighten and resize for social media
All of it runs on your device. Nothing is uploaded.
