A focused, easy-to-build utility with a real but small pain; viable as a micro-product only if distribution is secured.
What is RawToHEIC?
RawToHEIC is an iOS utility aimed at converting RAW or Apple ProRAW photos into HEIC/HEIF files, presumably to reduce storage usage and improve sharing compatibility. Public business metrics such as revenue, growth, and user base are not available. As an App Store utility, its likely economics depend on one-time purchases or small in-app purchases, with success driven by App Store search visibility and niche photographer workflow pain. The app is likely not venture-scale, but it could be a low-cost micro-product for a solo developer if distribution is secured.
