Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a HEIC file?
HEIC stands for High Efficiency Image Container. It's a modern image format developed by the MPEG group, designed to be a better alternative to JPEG. Apple adopted it as the default format for photos on iPhones and iPads starting with iOS 11.
How do I view HEIC files on Windows 10 or Windows 11?
Traditionally, Windows does not natively support HEIC files, requiring users to download special codecs or viewers. Our online HEIC viewer solves this problem by allowing you to view HEIC files on any version of Windows (10, 11, 8, or 7) directly in your web browser like Chrome, Firefox, or Edge, with no installation needed.
Is this online HEIC viewer free to use?
Yes, this tool is completely free. It's a simple, effective solution for anyone needing a quick way to view their HEIC photos.
Is it safe? Are my photos uploaded?
Your privacy and security are our top priority. This HEIC file viewer operates entirely on your computer (client-side). Your images are never sent over the internet or uploaded to any server. They are opened and processed locally by your browser.
Can I see the EXIF data for my HEIC photos?
Absolutely. Our tool includes an integrated HEIC EXIF viewer. Once you open an image, all available metadata—such as camera model, exposure time, ISO, and GPS location—is automatically extracted and displayed in a clean, organized panel.
Can I use this viewer on my Mac?
Yes. While macOS has native support for HEIC in the Preview app, our online viewer offers a quick, browser-based alternative that works instantly without needing to open any application. It's a great way to quickly check a file you've downloaded.
Does this work for Android phones?
Yes. Newer versions of Android support HEIC, but many devices still struggle. Our online tool works in any modern mobile browser (like Chrome on Android), allowing you to view HEIC files that you may have received from an iPhone user, without needing to install any extra apps.
