Question 1

What is the difference between HEIF and HEIC?

Accepted Answer

HEIF is the format specification. HEIC is Apple's implementation. They're functionally identical.

Question 2

Does cropping affect HEIF quality?

Accepted Answer

Cropping itself doesn't degrade quality. Re-saving applies HEIF compression — use "Image Quality (%)" at 85% or higher.

Question 3

Can I compress while cropping?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Under "Image Compression," choose any method. HEIF is already efficient, so moderate compression maintains good quality.

Question 4

Can I also resize while cropping?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Under "Image resolution," set by percentage or keep original.

Question 5

Do I need to convert to JPEG first?

Accepted Answer

No. Upload HEIF files directly — crop and download without format conversion.
