Download iMazing Converter 2.0.1 (Mac) – Download Free

With the release of iOS 11, Apple has made HEVC (High Efficiency Video Codec) the default video format and HEIF (short for High Efficiency Image Format) as the default format for storing photos, which is actually a container format for HEVC videos.

Photos taken using the HEIF image format are saved on iOS devices as HEIC files, which are much smaller than JPG or PNG files, usually around twice as small as a JPG.

This means you’ll be able to save a lot of bandwidth when you share photos with friends or sync your library to iCloud, and save a lot of space when storing them on your iOS device.

Drag and drop based application for fast HEIC conversion

In addition, the HEIF format is capable of recording image bursts and movie images, and supports lossless and lossy image data storage.

However, HEIF does have some drawbacks, the most important being that it is not as widely adopted as older and popular image formats such as JPG and PNG, and on some platforms, such as Windows 10, Microsoft’s latest operating system, does not support opening at all and view HEIC files.

When you need to use HEIC images in platforms or applications that don’t have built-in support for this photo format, the best way is to convert them to PNG or JPG, as these are the most popular formats out there.

This iMazing Converter app is a free macOS application designed to help you easily convert HEIC images to JPG and PNG using your Mac, avoiding compatibility issues when sharing or viewing them on incompatible platforms or applications.

Convert HEIC images to JPG and PNG for extra compatibility

iMazing Converter provides you with a user-friendly drag-and-drop interface where you can load HEIC images that need to be converted by dragging and dropping them onto the application’s home screen.

After the photos are loaded, you can choose the output format with the help of the “Format” drop-down menu at the bottom left of the window.

After you click the Convert button and select the destination folder, iMazing Converter starts converting and lets you know what the active task is with a progress bar displayed in the middle of its main screen.

Free and easy-to-use HEIC to JPG and HEIC to PNG converters for Mac

When iMazing Converter completes the conversion process, you can go to the output folder and use the resulting PNG or JPG image to share with your friends or open in your favorite image editing application.

All in all, using iMazing Converter on your Mac makes it easy and quick to convert HEIC photos taken with an iPhone 7 or newer running iOS 11 to more popular image formats such as JPG and PNG.
