Step 1: Open the Converter

Strip Metadata Option

HEIC files contain metadata including GPS location, camera settings, and date/time. Check "Strip Metadata" to remove this information before sharing. This protects your privacy by removing location data from photos you share online.

Troubleshooting

"File Won't Convert"

Refresh your browser and try again
Make sure the file is actually HEIC (check the extension)
Try a different browser if issues persist

"Quality Looks Bad"

Increase the quality setting (try 90% or higher)
Check that you're viewing at 100% zoom

"Converted File is Too Large"

Lower the quality setting (try 70-80%)
JPG files are larger than HEIC by nature
