Questions answered

Can I view HEIC without installing anything?

Yes. Convert the HEIC to JPG in your browser and open the JPG in any viewer.

Is it safe to view HEIC online here?

Yes. HEIC Photo processes files locally in your browser, so you can convert or view a compatible output without uploading the original photo.

Why won't HEIC open on Windows?

Windows needs HEIF/HEVC codec support that is not always installed. Converting to JPG avoids the codec entirely.
