What happens when you convert HEIC to QOI?

Multiple source images

Primary SDR still image only. sRGB/Display P3 and supported 8/10-bit HEVC render to 8-bit sRGB. HDR, auxiliary alpha and other HEIF codecs are rejected. Thumbnails, depth, gain maps and Live Photo motion are not exported. Availability is checked on this device using native WebCodecs.

Animation becomes a still

Still image output. Animated files use only the first frame; animation is not preserved.

Is HEIC → QOI right for you?

Good choice when

  • QOI fits your delivery use: Application assets & simple decoding.
  • You can choose the source image or part needed for delivery.
  • You want a still illustration from an animated source.
  • You need an SDR delivery copy and can review its tone mapping.

Probably not when

  • You require a complete collection, page set or multipart round trip.
  • Motion, frame timing or loop behaviour must survive.
  • You need the original HDR range for relighting or grading.
  • You assume format-level alpha support guarantees matching transparent edges.

Sample precision & colour
Primary SDR still image only. sRGB/Display P3 and supported 8/10-bit HEVC render to 8-bit sRGB. HDR, auxiliary alpha and other HEIF codecs are rejected. Thumbnails, depth, gain maps and Live Photo motion are not exported. Availability is checked on this device using native WebCodecs.
Metadata & colour
Primary SDR still image only. sRGB/Display P3 and supported 8/10-bit HEVC render to 8-bit sRGB. HDR, auxiliary alpha and other HEIF codecs are rejected. Thumbnails, depth, gain maps and Live Photo motion are not exported. Availability is checked on this device using native WebCodecs.
Compression
HEIC: Lossy & lossless → QOI: Lossless HEIC: HEIC commonly uses lossy HEVC; HEVC also has lossless coding tools. Actual quality, bit depth and chroma depend on the encoded profile and settings, not on the .heic extension. QOI: QOI preserves 8-bit RGB/RGBA samples losslessly. Reducing 16-bit data or discarding profiles and metadata before encoding is outside that guarantee.
Transparency
Primary SDR still image only. sRGB/Display P3 and supported 8/10-bit HEVC render to 8-bit sRGB. HDR, auxiliary alpha and other HEIF codecs are rejected. Thumbnails, depth, gain maps and Live Photo motion are not exported.
Animation
Still image output. Animated files use only the first frame; animation is not preserved.
Colour depth
Primary SDR still image only. sRGB/Display P3 and supported 8/10-bit HEVC render to 8-bit sRGB. HDR, auxiliary alpha and other HEIF codecs are rejected. Thumbnails, depth, gain maps and Live Photo motion are not exported.
HDR
Primary SDR still image only. sRGB/Display P3 and supported 8/10-bit HEVC render to 8-bit sRGB. HDR, auxiliary alpha and other HEIF codecs are rejected. Thumbnails, depth, gain maps and Live Photo motion are not exported. Availability is checked on this device using native WebCodecs.
Multiple images
Primary SDR still image only. sRGB/Display P3 and supported 8/10-bit HEVC render to 8-bit sRGB. HDR, auxiliary alpha and other HEIF codecs are rejected. Thumbnails, depth, gain maps and Live Photo motion are not exported.
Dimensions
Rendered image dimensions are retained within the converter limits; this tool does not offer resizing. Orientation handling depends on the source decoder.
Metadata
