Why convert HEIC photos?

HEIC is great for storage on Apple devices, but causes compatibility issues almost everywhere else.

Share iPhone photos anywhere

iPhones shoot in HEIC by default. Convert to JPG so you can share photos on Windows PCs, Android devices, or any platform that doesn't support HEIC.

Upload to websites & apps

Most websites, social platforms, and online services only accept JPG or PNG. Convert your HEIC photos before uploading to avoid errors.

Email attachments

Many email clients can't display HEIC inline. Convert to JPG so recipients see your photos without needing to download a special viewer.

Edit in non-Apple software

Photo editors like GIMP, Canva, or older versions of Photoshop don't support HEIC. Convert to PNG or JPG first for full compatibility.

Preserve quality for printing

Convert HEIC to PNG for lossless quality when sending photos to a print lab or creating high-resolution prints.

Web & app development

Convert HEIC assets to WebP for optimal web performance, or to JPG/PNG for broad browser compatibility in your projects.

Why iPhone photos are HEIC, and what conversion changes

Since iOS 11, iPhones save photos as HEIC by default. It's a High Efficiency Image File format based on the HEVC video codec, and it typically stores a photo at around half the size of a comparable JPEG. The trouble is support: many Windows apps, older Android phones and websites can't open it, which is why converting to JPG is so common.

This converter decodes HEIC in your browser using libheif, an open-source HEIF library compiled to WebAssembly, then saves JPG, PNG or WebP. JPG at the default 92% quality is the best choice for sharing, and expect the JPG to be noticeably larger than the HEIC it came from. PNG is lossless and much larger again, so use it only if you need to edit the image further.

  • To stop an iPhone saving HEIC in the first place, set Settings › Camera › Formats to Most Compatible.
  • Live Photos and HEIC burst sequences convert as a single still image.
  • Location and camera metadata isn't carried over to the converted files.

Frequently asked questions about HEIC conversion

Everything you need to know about converting HEIC files.

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's default photo format used on iPhones and iPads since iOS 11. It produces smaller files than JPG at the same quality, but isn't supported by most non-Apple software and platforms.
Yes, completely free. No account, no watermarks, no usage limits.
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser. Your photos never leave your device, so they stay completely private.
Yes. The converter works in all modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge) on Windows, macOS, and Linux. No special software or browser required.
HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) is the container standard; HEIC is Apple's specific implementation of it. For practical purposes they are the same. This tool handles both .heic and .heif files.
JPG is best for photos you want to share or upload: smallest file size, widest compatibility. PNG is best when you need lossless quality or transparency. WebP is ideal for web use: smaller than JPG with better quality.
Yes. You can upload and convert multiple HEIC files in a single batch. Each file is converted and available for individual download, or you can download all at once.
At 90%+ quality, JPG output is visually identical to the original for most photos. PNG output is lossless and pixel-perfect. WebP at high quality is also visually indistinguishable from the original.
