About the POT file format

The guide and converter lists are generated from the live HEIC.now catalog, so every conversion shown here is an available workflow.
Why POT files are used
POT File Format files belong to the office and data family and use the .pot extension.
The most practical format depends on the software, quality, compatibility and file-size requirements of the destination workflow.
What to know about POT
File structure
POT has format-specific rules for storing image, document or media data.
Quality
Conversion can change compression, colour, metadata, resolution or editability.
Compatibility
Support for POT varies between browsers, operating systems and editing applications.
Original files
Keep the original POT when future editing or maximum retained information matters.
How POT conversion works
Converting POT decodes or renders the source and then encodes the result in the selected destination format.
Review the converted file before replacing the source because format-specific features may not transfer.
heic.now accepts POT as an input and converts it to supported outputs.
POT compatibility and software support
Check that the receiving browser, app or service supports POT before choosing it for delivery.
A JPG or PNG copy is often useful when broad image compatibility is the priority.
