About HEIC to AVIF
HEIC to AVIF lets you create a new copy of your image in the destination format while preserving the original file.
What is HEIC?
HEIC is a common filename extension for images stored in the HEIF container format, standardized by MPEG. It is closely associated with newer Apple devices, which use it to store high-quality photos efficiently and can include advanced features such as image sequences. Compatibility is improving, but some services and older applications still request JPG or PNG instead.
What is AVIF?
AVIF is an image format based on the AV1 video codec and developed through the Alliance for Open Media ecosystem. It offers efficient compression, supports modern color and transparency features, and is increasingly used on the web where compatible browsers are available. AVIF can be a strong choice when small delivery files and high visual quality are both important.
When should you convert HEIC to AVIF?
Use conversion when AVIF is required by your website, application, device, or workflow. Upload your HEIC image, choose the available options, start the conversion, and then check the result.
