What is a HEIC File? | Easy Ways to Open & Convert It

To understand what a HEIC file is, you need to be familiar with the HEIF (High-Efficiency Image Format) standard. HEIC is an updated version of HEIF, which allows for the storage of digital images and image sequences in a highly efficient manner.

Since 2017, the HEIF format has gained popularity among iOS users, thanks to Apple’s introduction of the HEIC format. This new format compresses images without losing quality, allowing for high-quality images that take up less space compared to traditional formats like JPG.

What is a HEIC File?

HEIC stands for 'High-Efficiency Image Container'. It stores images and sounds efficiently, meaning you can store single or multiple photos with audio in this format without consuming much space. Despite its efficiency, HEIC maintains higher image quality than many other formats.

Developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) based on High-Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), HEIC was adopted by Apple in iOS 11 and macOS High Sierra in 2017. Compatibility Issues

A significant issue with the HEIC format is its compatibility. While it works seamlessly within the Apple ecosystem, using HEIC files outside of this environment can be problematic. But don't worry, we will cover the benefits, drawbacks, and everything you need to know about HEIC files.

Pros and Cons of HEIC

With hundreds of image formats available, each with its unique characteristics, HEIC stands out for certain reasons. Read more..

Well, good morning. A family photo, I see?

Two moms and their son.

baby i hate file formats you've never even heard of

[meeks-beas]

I fucking hate conflicting file types go kill yourself

[wuntrum]

troubled by how many incoming art students dont know how to take and upload a good photo of their work...like well lit, rotated the right way, cropped so its just the artwork, naming the file instead of leaving it IMG_3294?? like guys please 😭

[lesbianbishounen]

how do i turn off the stupid iphone “live photo” shit forever

[itsbetterthananal]

did you guys know apple now automatically takes your pictures and videos in a high efficiency file format (heic/hevc) instead of jpegs/mov? and that file format is not supported on a lot of PCs without an extension (that you have to buy)? so if you try and download it to your PC you will have the file but may not be able to view it? insane dude. but of course if you have a mac you have everything you need bc its all apple!! yay technological gatekeeping!!

btw, you can turn it off. if you go into camera and then formats you can change it to most compatible where anything not taken in cinematic or a specific fps will go back to being jpegs/mov.

on further investigation (opening the image in ms paint to save it as a different file type) it appears the image was actually .heic??? but for some reason, from every angle except "save as..." in an image editing program, my computer was telling me it was a .jpg. even in the file properties it was saying .jpg

what the fuck

just got a "we don't support that file type" error on imgur while trying to upload an image in the very strange and obscure format of... [checks notes] .jpg

[missanthropicprinciple]

ok I literally give up. Trying to get my photos backed up from my iPhone 12 to my Macbook. Neither Image Capture nor iPhotos works - I keep getting error messages. I got one of those adapters to connect your phone to a USB drive. However, it converts my photos to HEIC photos (which means I have to convert them) and strips the photos of metadata. I downloaded the photos using my work Thinkpad and again, most photos show up as HEIC and all photos are stripped of metadata. I could use iCloud but I only have 5GB free before I'm charged for more space. I thought I would just email myself the photos in small groups but again, all photos are stripped of metadata. I'm at a loss. The only metadata that is retained if I use iCloud is the date and time but if I convert the file from HEIC to PNG again the metadata is lost. And I can upload them to Gdrive but again it's an HEIC file and again the metadata is stripped.

(...I need to post here more often)

Last week, my supposed side project has turned into a challenge, to build a functional replica of the Yes/No button that I can bring to an unexpected Bluey Meet and Greet last weekend.

This was a more diff-erm...trifficult than I expected! I can't even believe that this even worked!

The idea for the project isn't mine, but I was able to implement a 3rd condition (both buttons pressed) but I wasn't able to implement this in time with only 2 buttons (well, without an Arduino at least but that's for another time)

(if you're planning on building one, be extremely careful when desoldering the pins)

Something I realized is that the total cost of building one is really close to the retail one in the show, which is $20 AUD!

And so, I brought it to the event.

I am actually nervous the whole time, but at least I have something that no one has but it's easily recognized from the show. At this point, they really should have this as official merchandise!

Yes, my mum was there too, the plushies however, were not. Sorry, Bingo :(

I have no words to describe what just happened but I know this, the sayings were true. It's good therapy.

No, I'm not leaving.

Like I said before, the woffs can't pet themselves!

🙂~

last note: Tumblr, add HEIC support! I had to write this entire thing twice after it refused heic photos, not fun.

[vanishingmoments]

i wonder how much games actually could optimize things like textures and audio nowadays without loss in fidelity. Like, is the issue truly that they're insisting on adding 4k textures for literally everything, or is it that they're not given the time to implement an HEIC decoder in the game engine to allow those file sizes to be smaller?

[posttexasstressdisorder]

OK, first they make up this HEIC nonsense...have to get a converter application for 'em to make regular decent jpegs and pngs out of 'em.

And after the goddamn WEBP bullshit (seriously, wtf was that?), they come up with "avif" and you gotta convert THAT with something into a normal fucking file.

We don't need new formats for something we've already got countless formats for!

HELP PLEASE HOW DO I MASS CONVERT .HEIC FILES TO .JPG FILES I NEED ANSWERS NOW PLEASE

I DUNNO????

What idiot invented heic files and why did it take me like a year in the past to realise my phone had the 'take pics as heic' setting turned on 🙄

Bull I was sculpting to make a lil idk trophy of my robotics' team/hs mascot.

Unfinished. If I ever do finish this guy I've gotta sand, paint and varnish him and figure out a base to attach it to.

Polymer clay, tape and aluminum foil on wire

IM BACK AND I READ IT. These wo idiots hitting on each others like: PLEASE JUST FUCK ALREADY. No seriously like it’s so obvious from both sides y’all take one for the team one of you. Stretching while make full eye contact isn’t subtle 🤭. Don’t even get me started on the boxing bit like imagine if someone was coming up the stairs like what would they think is happening. All you hear is grunts (cuz she’s boxing) and Q yelling “C’mon. That’s it. Good girl.” and “Fuck yes. Don’t stop, show me.” THE KISS (to her knuckles ok ok). Osha’s do-something-stupid impulse is the best impulse she should indulge in it more often. Another kiss to the handdddd. Does he know you can kiss people other places? She’s gonna call him Qimir now ❤️‍🩹 also the manic energy of the spar was extremely well done, it really felt like you were in it. Ok it got serious again. Indara ratting on Sol feels so good. He can’t be trusted ever. Also I think it’s interesting that Vernestra was Qimir’s parent and exploited him to the point of injury and abandoned him because Sol did basically the same thing. Indara knows how similar Osha and Qimir are. Osha grew up in this place and was similarly exploited, injured, and tossed aside because she wasn’t useful anymore. Them teaming up is V’s worst nightmare and also thinking thoughts about canon Sol’s ending and this AU. Random but is this set in nyc? I’m thinking about the mayoral investigation going on rn. Ok ok now she has to go see him fight and try not to spill the beans. Why am I scared? Something feels ominous 😭

THANK YOU FOR THE EARLY POST. I was actually so happy to see it, it gave me sm motivation to finish up with work. I LOVE YOU TOO ❤️ thank you for writing I hope your jeans fits you perfectly and your pillow is cold on both sides 🫡

(this is from ch13 common grounds and now that 14/15 are up i am finally answering ty for ur patience ily aaaaa)

the two of them are seriously the hugest idiots everrrr like on his side, the only thing keeping him back is his sense of self-loathing, that he'll "dirty" her by making that first step toward her - bc until now he's been leading her to him and letting her choose to make those steps. on HER end, she's got a hundred thousand different reasons not to do this being screamed at her from anyone she talks to, so Osha is too inundated with things like Logic to make any horny decisions!! a tragedy.

i love your train of thought commentary it makes me so happy, it's my favorite kind of comment, like i'm going on an adventure with ur consciousness <3 your theories are also making me want to mobilize the sniper unit omfg like i love teasing yall with pieces of the truth and seeing everyone put the pieces together i'm LIVING FOR IT

as for ur question about the setting, i kind of get into the geographical setting some more in later chapters, but no this isn't an "on-earth" au. it's not necessarily in the GFFA, either. i am imagining it's the kind of story that could happen in "any" city so that's why i haven't given it a name. however, the "FDO" stands for the Federal District Orphanage, the Federal District being a district on the city-planet (ecumenopolis) of Coruscant (and where the Jedi Temple is!). outright calling the city "coruscant" is kind of a turn-off to me, though, so i'm just calling it "the city" and using generic names for streets, etc.

that said, starbucks and looney tunes and emoji and the black keys and walt whitman and brazilian jiu-jitsu and two-shot americanos and the concept of OSHA and calling one's calcaneal tendon "achilles" and teddy swims and .HEIC image files are also in this fic so it's not not an earth fic. LOL

thank u for my jeans blessings i am very very appreciative 😔🙏✨

and thank you for your ask and your lovely comment on 13!!

Happy 4th of July 🥳🎉

Did You have a good time at camp?

Thank you!! 🎆🇺🇸🎆 (Fireworks going off around me past 1:00 AM my gosh lol.) And, I did have a good time!! 😁

Heh, I basically never do personal rambles on my blog, but you've given me the chance and I feel like it.

Gotta mention the Airbnb... Randomly full of huge liquor bottles?? Mostly bourbon, but other things too. Stacked high and deep on every single kitchen cabinet; it was easily 100 bottles if not more. And then suddenly, two days before I checked out... The booze was gone. I have no explanation except I think the homeowners must be in some kind of transition based on other circumstantial evidence, but I'll leave that topic there.

At camp this year they were short-staffed so I was the snack person and the photographer. Now... the latter was daunting. It's a music and movement family day camp (to give the absolute most basic description). I only had my phone, and it's not a new model. So there were many blurry photos daily that I had to delete and then many semi-blurries I kept because otherwise there wouldn't be enough photos.

I had to make a slideshow every night to be played the next morning to show what everyone had done at camp (around a total of 150 ppl at camp including adults, kids separated into groups by age (camp is ages 3 and up) so the slideshow got to showcase each group... Meanwhile, I've no idea how to do a slideshow. I've no idea how to get hundreds and ultimately probably over 2000 photos from my iPhone to my Dell PC. And then the PC won't read the .heic files. Aaaaand.... Camp was many sleepless nights of panic trying to make this happen. (Oh, and the A/V system at the site hosting the camp was buggy too, so I had to work around that.) Wanna give a public thanks to @cannibal-nightmares who pulled over at like 1am that first night when I was panicking to message a bunch of people to try to get help for me, and ultimately saved me hours of work (not that I wasn't up till nearly midnight each night and 2am the last night) on the slideshow, and saved my sanity.

Sounds like more trouble than it's worth, right...? Wrong. I probably spent around $2K to get there/Airbnb/rental car as well, and all my service was volunteer.

Bcb, you're crazy. Why would you do this? Because these people are everything to me. And the profound, profound work they do for children... The program is a music education program but it's based in neuroscience and a philosophy of play/flow-state in the brain for learning. It's extremely precise, well-thought and executed, and proven to work not just for music education, but as...a philosophy of life. I could give you so many anecdotes... The depth of this work cannot be summarized. It's more than a camp and more than a curriculum. And these people care. I say I'd do anything for them, because of the genuine love they've shown for me. And that is ultimately what it comes down to - love.

Everyone in the world should study this philosophy. It has changed my life for the better and quite possibly saved it in many ways. If you're interested, you can PM me for more info.

Thank you pal, for asking!
