Questions
Why can't my computer open HEIC files?
HEIC is the iPhone camera's default format. Windows needs a paid extension to open it, and many Android phones, Chromebooks, and older apps can't open it at all.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Your files are processed on your device. We never upload them.
Does it change my photos?
No. Viewing never changes the file. Large photos are drawn at up to 4,096 pixels on their longest side to fit the screen; the details show the photo's full size.
Why does the first photo take a moment in Chrome or Firefox?
Only Safari opens HEIC itself. Other browsers load a HEIC decoder of about 0.5 MB the first time, then open photos quickly.
Can I see where a photo was taken?
The caption says when a photo records its location. To see the coordinates and every other detail, use the EXIF viewer.
