Troubleshooting Common Issues
Problem: "File format not supported"
This usually means the software doesn't recognize HEIC files.
Solution: Use our online converter or install HEIC support software for your operating system.
Problem: Converted images look different
Color differences can occur due to different color profiles.
Solution: Use higher quality settings (85%+) and ensure your converter preserves color profiles.
Problem: Large file sizes after conversion
JPG files will typically be larger than HEIC files.
Solution: This is normal. Adjust quality settings to balance file size and image quality.
