Why your iPhone photos are HEIC
Since iOS 11, iPhones save photos as HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container). A HEIC photo is roughly half the size of the same photo as a JPG, which saves a lot of storage.
The catch is compatibility. Older Windows PCs, many web forms, printing kiosks and some editing apps still refuse HEIC files. JPG works almost everywhere.
How to convert HEIC to JPG
Drop your HEIC files onto the box above, or tap it to pick them from your Photos or Files app. Each photo is converted as soon as it is added. Download them one by one, or press Download all to get a single ZIP.
The default quality (90%) is visually identical to the original for almost every photo. Lower it, or set a size limit under More options, if you need smaller files.
What happens to the photo details
The converted JPG keeps the picture and its correct rotation. Hidden metadata such as GPS location and camera details is removed, which is usually what you want before sharing a photo online.
Live Photos and burst shots are saved as their main still image.
Questions
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs inside your browser on your own device. Your files are never sent to a server, so it also works for private photos and documents.
Can I stop my iPhone from taking HEIC photos?
Yes. Open Settings, then Camera, then Formats, and choose Most Compatible. New photos will be saved as JPG. Existing photos stay HEIC, so you still need a converter for those.
Does converting HEIC to JPG lose quality?
JPG is a lossy format, so a tiny amount of detail is always discarded. At 90% quality the difference is not visible in normal viewing. The JPG will usually be larger than the HEIC file.
Why is the first HEIC file slow?
Most browsers other than Safari cannot read HEIC on their own, so the page loads a HEIC decoder (about 3 MB) the first time you need it. After that, conversions are quick.
