Why convert LRV to HEIC?
LRV is the low-resolution proxy video that GoPro and other action cameras record alongside each full-quality clip, for fast previews on phones and in apps. The opening frame of the clip is captured at the proxy's own resolution and saved as one still image.
HEIC uses High Efficiency Image Coding, the format iPhones and iPads save photos in, so the image is compact while staying sharp.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert LRV to HEIC?
Drop your LRV file above and press Convert. Our servers read the LRV clip with FFmpeg, capture its first frame as a high-quality JPG, then encode that frame in the format you chose. The result is saved as a HEIC image, ready to download.
Which moment of the LRV clip is saved in the HEIC?
The first frame, the moment recording started. FFmpeg takes it from the clip's video track and saves it as a single still.
How does a LRV file relate to the full-quality clip it was recorded with, for the HEIC?
An LRV is a lighter copy of the same recording in an MP4-style container, so the HEIC shows the same opening scene as the full-quality clip, at the proxy's resolution.
How big is the HEIC image from a LRV file?
The HEIC is the first frame of the preview clip at the clip's own resolution.
How compact is the HEIC made from a LRV file?
HEIC uses High Efficiency Image Coding, which typically needs about half the space of a JPG of similar quality, so even detailed pages stay small.
