Turn iPhone HEIC photos into universally compatible JPEGs that open anywhere — no app, no signup, no file ever leaves your device.
Since iOS 11, iPhones save photos in HEIC (High Efficiency Image Format) by default because it stores the same visual quality in roughly half the file size of a JPEG, saving space on the device and in iCloud. The tradeoff is compatibility: most Windows PCs, older Android devices, many web upload forms, and some older editing software either can't open HEIC files at all or require an extra codec to be installed. Converting to JPG removes that friction entirely — JPG is supported natively by essentially every device, browser, and platform in existence, so your photos become viewable and shareable the moment the conversion finishes.
Apple switched to HEIC as the default format starting with iOS 11 because it achieves the same photo quality at roughly half the file size of JPEG, saving storage space on your device and in iCloud.
The visual difference is minimal for everyday viewing and sharing. JPG uses a different compression method than HEIC, so at very high zoom levels a slight difference can sometimes be visible, but it's not noticeable in normal use.
Not yet — this tool currently processes one HEIC photo at a time. Batch conversion for multiple files at once is on the roadmap.
No. This tool decodes HEIC files directly in your browser using a dedicated decoding library, so there's nothing to install on your computer or phone.
Basic image data is preserved through the conversion, but some EXIF metadata (like precise GPS coordinates) may not carry over depending on your browser. If metadata is critical for your use case, verify it after downloading.
No. Live Photos are actually a still HEIC image paired with a short video clip. This tool only converts the still image portion to JPG; the motion part isn't included in the output.
Yes, this tool is completely free with no registration, no watermark, and no conversion limit.
No, the conversion happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your files are never uploaded to any external server.
There's no fixed limit enforced by the tool since everything runs in your browser rather than on a server. Very large files may simply take a little longer to process depending on your device.
For most everyday uses, the visual difference is negligible. If you need maximum fidelity, keep the quality setting high during export.
