About this app

Luma is designed to enable you open and convert to jpeg multiple images with *.HEIC file extension at a time. These are images in High Efficient Image Format (HEIF). Images in this format take twice less space on your device without any loss of image quality. Using this format will help you to save up to 50% of storage space for images.

Luma works completely offline and you don't need to internet connection to make the app working. You can either open single image or select any number of images and convert them to jpeg without loosing quality or metadata.

App features:
* Browse and view any folder containing *.heic files.
* Open and view *.heic images.
* Save and share *.heic images in *.jpeg format.
* Batch convert any number of *.heic images preserving quality and metadata.
* Preserve all image metadata like: location, Exif, XMP, Copyright, ICC profile.
* Preserve depth image if presented.

HEIF is smaller and better
HEIF — or High Efficiency Image File Format — is the still-image version of the HVEC — or H.265 — video format. Its main advantage is that photos saved in HEIF are roughly half the size of JPEGs, and of better quality. That means you can store twice as many photos on your phone before filling it up or, looked at another way, you can keep all the photos you have, while freeing up a ton of gigabytes on your device!

HEIF is flexible
HEIF offers other advantages over JPEG. For starters, it is not so much a file format as a container for files. A JPEG is a single image, but a HEIF can be a single image or a sequence of images.

This makes HEIF perfect for Live Photos, but also makes it a potential replacement for GIF. HEIF also supports transparency, and image color up to 16 bits, versus JPEG’s measly 8-bit color.

In practice, this means that HEIF can capture all of the extended color range provided by the camera’s 10-bit color output. In other words, you will no longer see ugly banding across a blue sky.

Photos will take up less space, while looking better
They will upload and download much faster. And, if the rest of the world adopts HEIF in place of JPEGs, then the whole web will operate more quickly.

By making the move to High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) and High Efficiency Image File Format (HEIF) we are getting ready for the future of media consumption and creation!

*For now Luma supports only one still image in HEIF format. Multi-image and video support will be added in next versions so keep updated!

Ratings and reviews

I'm just glad to have found an heic converter that preserves image quality, I tried a few and this is the only one that worked. For android users, make sure that you go into your internal storage in files to find the converted images, not Gallery. Notice the folder from internal storage you're storing the photos in while converting, and go there once you're done. Hold down on the image, select the Share option above, then click the Upload to Photos option, and it'll save it your Gallery too.

Conversation of heic to jpg, also jpg to heic. Works well. Had a issue with licencing, but dev got straight back to me and resolved with a new update in store. Fantastic work. I always pay when possible for apps as if i use it i want add free; also i want to ensure the dev gets reward for their time. The app is quick and effective on Samsung note 10plus. File picker is a bit quirky, but easy to use once you know how. A bit of polish there perhaps. no issues read or write to sd or int

I honestly dont have any expectation that this will work beacuse I had already installed other heic converter apps and didn't work . It was very irritating . and I was just trying if it will finally work and yes it did work perfectly. Im so amazed however there's too much ads but anways Thank you so much .I was able to retrieve my photos. This app is way better than other heic converter .
