About HEIC
What is HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container)?
HEIC is an image format using the HEVC codec, used by default on iPhones since iOS 11. It produces roughly half the file size of JPG at equivalent quality.
Context
When to use HEIC.
HEIC is part of the image conversion surface in Converterer. These pages are useful when you need to balance compatibility, compression, transparency, quality, or workflow-specific image requirements.
Limitations
Patent-encumbered and not natively supported in many non-Apple environments; convert to JPG for broad sharing.
