Why this matters

iPhone saves photos in HEIC format by default, but most tools and apps require JPEG or PNG. EraseFree handles HEIC directly, saving the conversion step.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to convert HEIC to JPG first?

No. EraseFree accepts HEIC files directly in Mobile Safari and Chrome. Just upload from your iPhone and download the transparent PNG.

Why does iPhone use HEIC instead of JPG?

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) produces smaller file sizes at the same quality as JPEG. Apple uses it by default to save storage on your device.

Can I change my iPhone to shoot JPEG instead of HEIC?

Yes. In iPhone Settings → Camera → Formats, change from High Efficiency to Most Compatible. This saves photos as JPEG instead of HEIC.
