HEIC Compressor

Compressing HEIC keeps the file as HEIC — no conversion happens

A lot of tools that claim to “compress” your iPhone photos actually just convert them to JPEG behind the scenes. This one doesn’t. The output is still a real HEIC file, which means your metadata — GPS location, capture time, camera model, aperture — stays intact. The Live Photo link, wide-colour profile, and depth data all survive the process too.

What stays exactly the same after compression

• Photo dimensions — a 4032×3024 photo stays at that exact size
• EXIF data including GPS coordinates, timestamp, and lens info
• Colour profile — Display P3 and Wide Gamut are kept as-is
• The .heic extension — the file opens in Photos and iCloud without any issues

How much smaller will it get?

Quality 85–95

Barely any visible change from the original; about 15–25% smaller. Good when quality is the top priority.

Quality 70–84

No difference you’ll notice on a phone or laptop screen; 35–55% smaller. This is the sweet spot for email and cloud backup.

Quality 50–69

Edges look slightly soft if you zoom all the way in; 55–70% smaller. Fine for web thumbnails, not great for printing.

Below 50

You’ll see blocky patches on areas with flat colour. File is under 500KB for most 12MP shots. Only use this if you really need the smallest possible size.
