How It Works & Technical Architecture

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is based on the HEVC/H.265 video compression standard, storing high-bit-depth images in compact containers.

Softnag utilizes a client-side WebAssembly HEIF/HEIC decoding engine that unpacks the container data and extracts the raw RGB pixel buffer directly in your browser.

The buffer is then encoded into standard JPEG format using your chosen quality setting and saved locally.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a HEIC file?

HEIC is Apple’s default image format for iPhones running iOS 11+, which compresses photos to about half the file size of standard JPEG at equivalent quality.

Why can’t I open HEIC photos on my Windows PC?

Windows requires an optional paid HEVC video extension from the Microsoft Store to decode HEIC files. Softnag converts them to standard JPGs for free in your browser.

Are my private iPhone photos uploaded to any server?

No. Softnag uses browser WebAssembly to decode and convert HEIC photos 100% locally on your machine.

Does converting HEIC to JPG reduce photo quality?

At standard quality settings (90%+), the converted JPEG retains virtually all original detail and color fidelity.

Can I convert multiple HEIC photos in a row?

Yes. You can easily process multiple iPhone snapshots consecutively.

Are my iPhone photos uploaded anywhere?

No. All conversion operations happen locally inside your browser memory.
