HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's default format since iOS 11. It produces files about half the size of JPG with the same quality, but most online forms, Windows apps and older websites still reject it.

You have three options: change the iPhone setting to capture as JPG (Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible), AirDrop the photo to a Mac which auto-converts on copy, or use the converter below — which works on any device, including Windows and Android.

The tool decodes HEIC entirely in your browser using a WASM decoder, so your photos are never uploaded. You can convert one file or batch-convert dozens at once.

FAQ

Why does my iPhone save HEIC instead of JPG?

It is the default in iOS to save storage. You can change it permanently under Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible.

Does HEIC to JPG lose quality?

A small one-time loss from re-encoding to JPG. Use quality 90+ to keep it imperceptible.

Can I convert HEIC on a Windows PC?

Yes — drop the .heic file into the converter below. No Microsoft Store HEIF extension needed.

Does this work for Live Photos?

It converts the still frame. The video portion of a Live Photo is a separate .mov file, not part of the HEIC.
