100% Private Processing
Personal photos shouldn't be uploaded to random servers. PhotoQuill processes HEIC (High-Efficiency Image Container) files locally on your device, ensuring your sensitive iPhone photos remain completely private.
Universal Compatibility
While Apple devices use HEIC to save space, Windows PCs, older Androids, and many websites do not support it natively. Converting HEIC to JPG makes your photos shareable and viewable anywhere.
Why are my iPhone photos saving as HEIC?
Apple uses HEIC by default on modern iPhones because it saves storage space while retaining high quality. It essentially lets you store twice as many photos on a 128GB phone compared to standard JPGs.
Does converting HEIC to JPG reduce quality?
JPG is a lossy format, meaning some compression occurs. However, if you export at 100% quality, the visual difference is imperceptible to the human eye.
Is it safe to convert my personal photos online?
Yes, but only if you use a local-first tool like PhotoQuill that processes files in your browser's memory. If a website shows a "Uploading..." progress bar, your private photos are being sent to a remote server.
How do I stop my iPhone from taking HEIC photos?
Go to Settings > Camera > Formats on your iPhone and select 'Most Compatible'. This forces the camera sensor to process and save images in standard JPG moving forward.
Why does Windows ask me to pay for a HEVC extension?
HEIC relies on the HEVC video codec. While Apple devices include this natively, Microsoft requires a small licensing fee in the Microsoft Store to view them at the OS level due to patent royalties.
How can I convert HEIC on Windows for free?
By using a browser-based tool like PhotoQuill. Modern browsers have powerful media engines that can bypass the Windows OS limitations and decode the image entirely for free.
Are my photos safe if I convert them in the browser?
Yes, provided you use a tool that processes locally. PhotoQuill runs entirely on your local Windows machine via WebAssembly and WebGPU; it does not upload your files to a remote server.
Will the converted JPG work in Word and PowerPoint?
Yes. Once exported as a standard JPG, the file becomes universally compatible with all Microsoft Office applications and Windows programs.
