iMazing Converter: A Nifty, Free Tool to Convert HEIC and HEVC
Apple is known for creating custom formats that save space without quality loss. HEIC, the designated file format for photos on the iPhone, is a great example. The problem? HEIC files don’t always work with all devices. The same goes for HEVC, which is a format used for video files.
Sure, you can find multiple HEIC/HEVC converters on the Internet, but do you want to upload your photos to an unknown site? Would it be great if you could convert HEIC photos and HEVC videos from the comfort of your Mac? Well, iMazing Converter has got you covered.
What is iMazing Converter?
iMazing Converter is a nifty file conversion utility from iMazing, an all-in-one iPhone management tool. This utility helps you convert HEIC photos and HEVC videos into standard media formats like JPEG, PNG, and MP4. It is excellent if you want to use shot-on-iPhone photos and videos on a Windows PC or an older Mac.
Though many apps now support HEIC/HEVC files, we cannot be 100% sure of compatibility. So, when you’re working on something important, it makes sense to have a format like JPEG, PNG, or MP4. While these file formats are not as efficient as HEVC/HEIC, they work on almost all devices.
