Frequently Asked Questions
Why are my iPhone photos saving as HEIC?

Apple introduced HEIC (High-Efficiency Image Container) to save space without losing quality. It provides better compression than JPG. However, it is a proprietary format and is not widely supported on Windows PCs, many web platforms, or older software.

Does Tangent upload my photos to convert them?

Absolutely not. Unlike other free converters that upload your private photos to third-party servers, Tangent decodes the HEIC file locally using WebAssembly (`heic2any`). Your photos never leave your device, ensuring 100% privacy.

Is there a limit to how many photos I can convert?

No. Because Tangent processes everything on your local machine, we don't have to pay for server costs or bandwidth. Therefore, we don't impose artificial limits or paywalls on your batch conversions. Process as many photos as your device's memory can handle.
