HEIC vs SVG: what changes when you convert
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) was introduced in 2017 by the MPEG group; adopted by Apple in iOS 11 and is best known for iphone camera photos (half the size of jpg at the same quality). SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics), created by the W3C, is the better choice when you need icons, logos, and illustrations that must stay sharp at any size.
Why convert? HEIC photos from an iPhone routinely fail to open on Windows PCs and Android phones. Converting to SVG solves that instantly.
Upload one file or a whole batch — conversion happens over a secure HTTPS connection and finished files are automatically deleted from our servers within minutes. SVG is code, not pixels — converting to a raster format fixes it at one resolution.
