Some video editors and playback devices accept still images only after they are packaged as a video file. Converting a HEIC image to MOV creates a clip that displays the picture for a set duration; it does not add motion or sound.

What HEIC is

HEIC is an image format based on HEIF, commonly used by iPhones and some other phones to store still photos with efficient compression. You may encounter HEIC files when copying photos from a phone or exporting them from a photo library.

What MOV is

MOV is a container format developed for QuickTime. It can hold video and audio streams encoded with different codecs; H.264 video in a MOV container is widely supported by editing software and playback devices. Use MOV when a workflow requires a video file rather than a still image.

How to convert HEIC to MOV

Online on 101convert.com

Upload the HEIC file on the converter page. You can add several files for batch conversion; each file is subject to the size limit shown on the page.
Set show each picture for to choose how long the image appears in the video.
Start the conversion, then download the resulting MOV file.

Offline with desktop software

FFmpeg is a free, open-source command-line tool available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. ImageMagick can first decode HEIC to PNG if its installation includes HEIC/libheif support; then FFmpeg can create a five-second, 30 fps MOV:

Convert the image: magick input.heic still.png
Create the video: ffmpeg -loop 1 -framerate 30 -i still.png -t 5 -c:v libx264 -crf 18 -pix_fmt yuv420p output.mov

Replace input.heic with your source filename. Change -t 5 to set a different duration in seconds. ImageMagick must have HEIC decoding enabled; otherwise, use a build with libheif support.

Quality and limitations

The result is a video of a still picture, not a motion photo or an animation. The FFmpeg command encodes H.264 video with 4:2:0 color sampling for broad compatibility; encoding can reduce image detail or color information compared with the original HEIC.
