FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What format will the output be?

JPG, PNG, or WebP — never HEIC. We don't output HEIC because most browsers and websites (Chrome, Firefox, Windows apps, almost every web uploader) still can't render it. JPG is the safest default for sharing.

Can I convert HEIC to JPG while cropping in one step?

Yes — that's the main use case. Upload your .heic, crop to the area you want, and click Download. The output is a standard JPG that opens anywhere, with no separate conversion tool needed.

Does this work on Mac Safari and iOS Safari?

Yes. Safari has native HEIC decoding on macOS 11+ and iOS 11+, so the upload and preview are fastest there. On Chrome, Edge, and Firefox we use a WebAssembly decoder, which adds about a second on the first HEIC you open.

Why is my HEIC file not loading?

Two common causes: (1) the file is actually a HEVC video with a .heic extension — those won't open as images; (2) you're using an older browser without HEIC support and the WebAssembly fallback failed. Try updating your browser or re-exporting from Photos as HEIC still image.

Will Live Photo motion be kept when I crop?

No. A Live Photo is a HEIC still image bundled with a short MOV video clip. We crop only the still image — the motion clip is discarded because the output is a single frame in JPG, PNG, or WebP.
