HEIC is an image format introduced in 2015 and adopted by Apple in iOS 11 (2017). It's commonly used for iPhone photos, Apple ecosystem.

Will converting HEIC to SVG reduce quality?

No further quality loss occurs. HEIC already lost detail during its original compression, but converting to lossless SVG prevents any additional degradation.

How much larger will the SVG file be?

Typically 3-5x larger than the original HEIC, since SVG preserves all pixel data without compression.

Is this conversion reversible?

Yes — HEIC and SVG are both lossless, so you can convert back and forth without quality loss.
