About HE files
HE file types, including the .heif (High Efficiency Image File Format) and .heic (High Efficiency Image Coding), are modern image formats designed to improve compression and quality. They are widely used in Apple's ecosystem. However, these formats can be challenging to work with due to their limited compatibility with non-Apple devices and software.
To convert HE files into more accessible formats like JPEG, PNG, BMP, or GIF, you can use software such as Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, or IrfanView. Additionally, Apple's Preview application on macOS provides conversion capabilities.
Despite the advantages of HE files, converting them can pose several challenges. Compatibility issues are prevalent, as not all devices or software support HE formats. Quality loss during conversion is another concern, particularly when converting to older formats that use less efficient compression algorithms.
For more information on HEIF and HEIC, you can visit their respective Wikipedia page.
While HE files offer space-saving benefits, their drawbacks make conversion necessary. Therefore, it's recommended to use Convert.Guru, a free and user-friendly platform that ensures safe and reliable conversion.
The HE Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.
When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.
Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best HE converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
