What is a HEIC File

HEIC (High-Efficiency Image Coding) is a modern image format mainly used by Apple devices like iPhones and iPads. It saves images in smaller file sizes while maintaining high quality. However, editing HEIC files, especially cropping them, can be difficult on non-Apple devices without a compatible tool.

What is Cropping

Cropping refers to removing the outer parts of an image to improve framing, focus on a specific subject, or adjust the size. It helps eliminate unwanted areas and highlight the essential parts of the photo. A HEIC Crop Tool allows users to crop images without needing to convert them into another format first.

Why Use a HEIC Crop Tool

Many editing programs on Windows or Android do not natively support HEIC files. A HEIC Crop Tool helps users handle such images directly in their original format. It allows better control over image composition and makes the image suitable for various use cases such as social media, website content, or document uploads.

How to Use the HEIC Crop Tool

1. Upload the HEIC file using the crop tool interface.
   
2. Adjust the crop area using mouse or touch controls.
   
3. Preview the changes in real time before finalizing.
   
4. Download the cropped image in HEIC or convert it to JPG or PNG if needed.
