Now for the details. HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's format for iPhone photos, offering twice the compression of JPEG. RGF is a widely used file format. Converting between these two formats lets you convert between formats quickly.
Your HEIC file is decoded and re-encoded as RGF. Converting HEIC to RGF maintains high quality with CocoConvert's optimised encoder settings.
CocoConvert runs entirely online — no software to install, no account to create. Your files are encrypted during upload (TLS), processed on isolated servers in Germany, and permanently deleted after 24 hours. It works in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, and all mobile browsers.
Need to convert more than one file? Free users can do 5 per hour. Pro gets 100 per hour with files up to 5 GB each.
