HEIC to JPG: fixing the iPhone photo format problem

Why your iPhone photos won't open everywhere

Since iOS 11, iPhones save photos as HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) instead of JPG. HEIC files are about 50% smaller than JPG at the same quality, which is great for storage — but most Windows PCs, older Android phones, web forms, and many apps still cannot open them.

That is why 'my photo won't upload' almost always turns out to be a .heic file.

HEIC vs HEIF vs JPG

How to convert

Drop the .heic (or .heif) file into the upload area, pick JPG or PNG as the target, and download the result. The conversion decodes the HEVC image data in your browser and re-encodes it — quality is set high (0.92) so the JPG looks the same as the original.

For sharing and uploading, JPG is the right target. Choose PNG only if you need lossless output and accept a much larger file.

Batch conversion and alternatives

This page converts one file at a time; for many photos, just convert them one after another — each takes a couple of seconds. On the iPhone itself you can also force JPG capture (Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible), but that gives up the storage savings of HEIC for every future photo. Converting on demand is usually the better trade-off.

Privacy: photos are the most personal files

Photos contain faces, places, and moments. Most 'HEIC to JPG' sites make you upload them to a server. This tool converts entirely in your browser using an in-browser HEVC decoder — the file never leaves your device, and the page works offline after the first load.
