It\u2019s a relatively new image file format developed by the <strong>Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG)<\/strong> and adopted by Apple in 2017 with the release of iOS 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HEIC uses advanced compression methods to save high-quality images at smaller file sizes compared to older formats like JPEG or PNG. As a result, HEIC is particularly popular on Apple devices such as iPhones and iPads, where it is used as the default format for photos taken with the device\u2019s camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Convert_PDF_to_HEIC\"><\/span>Why Convert PDF to HEIC?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You might be wondering\u2014why would anyone want to convert a PDF file to an image format like HEIC?
