Your iPhone shoots HEIC. The rest of the world asks for JPG.
Apple switched to HEIC to save space. It's a good format — but it trips up PCs, older phones, printers and upload forms. Here's what that looks like day to day.
01
“Why won't this open on my PC?”
You email a photo to a Windows laptop and it refuses to preview, or opens a blank window. A JPG would have shown instantly.
02
“The upload form rejected my picture.”
Job applications, government portals and marketplaces often accept only JPG or PNG, and a .heic file bounces back with an error.
03
“My friend on Android just sees a grey box.”
Share a HEIC in a chat or over email and some devices can't render it at all, so the photo you were proud of arrives broken.
04
“I don't want to send my photos to a stranger's server.”
Most online converters upload your images to do the work. For personal photos, that's a real privacy concern — and unnecessary.
How it works
Three steps, and nothing leaves your device
2
They convert in your browser
A built-in image decoder runs on your own device and rebuilds each photo as a JPG (or PNG). There is no server step — the files are read, converted in memory and handed back to you. You can watch each one finish in the list.
3
Download and you're done
Save each JPG individually, or grab everything at once with Download all. On iPhone and iPad you can save straight to Photos or Files. Close the tab and every trace of the images is gone from memory.

HEIC has been the iPhone default since iOS 11, in 2017
Private by design — because the work never leaves the device in your hand.
Why in-browser
The difference between converting here and uploading elsewhere
Converting here
- Photos are processed on your device and never uploaded
- No account, no email, no watermark
- Works after the page has loaded, even offline
- Nothing is stored — close the tab and it's gone
- You set the quality and the format
What usually happens elsewhere
- Your images are sent to a remote server to be converted
- Files may sit in temporary storage you can't see
- Sign-up, ads or size caps are common
- You're trusting a third party with personal photos
- Big batches can be slow over your connection
Questions
HEIC to JPG, answered
HEIC is Apple's container for the HEIF image format. Since iOS 11 (2017), iPhones and iPads save photos as HEIC by default because it keeps similar quality to JPEG in roughly half the file size. The trade-off is compatibility: many Windows PCs, older Android phones, web uploaders and email recipients still can't open a .heic file, which is why converting to JPG is so common.
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your own browser using a built-in decoder. Your images are read from your device, converted in memory, and offered back to you as downloads. They are never uploaded, copied to a server, logged, or shared with anyone — including us.
Yes, it's free and there is no account, email, or sign-up. Because the work happens on your own device, there is no per-file charge and no daily cap imposed by us. The practical limit is your device's memory: very large batches of high-resolution photos use more RAM, so on older phones it's best to convert in smaller groups.
Yes. Open the page in Safari (or any modern mobile browser), tap “Choose photos,” and pick images from your Photos library or Files. The converted JPGs can be saved straight to your device. It also works on Mac, Windows and Android in any up-to-date browser.
JPG uses lossy compression, so a conversion is never perfectly identical to the original. In practice the difference is hard to see at the default quality. You can raise the quality slider toward 100% to keep more detail (with a larger file), or lower it to save space. Choose PNG if you need a lossless result.
Yes. Add as many HEIC/HEIF files as you like — drag a whole selection in or pick them together. They are converted one after another so your device stays responsive, and once two or more are done you can download them all with a single button.
A HEIC file stores a single still image, and that is what gets converted to JPG. The short video that makes up a Live Photo is a separate file on your device and is not part of the HEIC, so it is not included in the converted JPG.
Choose JPG for photographs — it produces small files that open everywhere, which is the usual reason for converting. Choose PNG if you need a lossless copy or plan to edit the image repeatedly; PNG files are larger but do not lose detail to compression.
