What you can do here
Works on any computer
Windows and Android often can’t open HEIC without extra software. Convert to JPG here and the photos open everywhere.
Full resolution, right way up
Photos keep every pixel of the original, and rotation stored in the file is applied so nothing comes out sideways.
JPG, PNG or WebP
JPG for sharing and uploads, PNG for further editing, WebP for small, high-quality web images.
Batch conversion
Drop a whole folder of iPhone photos and download them as one ZIP.
Private by design
Many HEIC converters upload your photos. Here they are decoded on your own device, and location data is left out of the new files.
Bursts and collections
Turn on one switch to convert every image stored in multi-image HEIC files, not just the main one.

What is a HEIC file?
HEIC is Apple’s name for photos stored in the HEIF format using HEVC (H.265) compression. iPhones and iPads have saved photos as HEIC by default since iOS 11 because the files are roughly half the size of JPGs at similar quality.
The catch is compatibility: many Windows PCs, Android phones, websites and upload forms can’t open HEIC. Converting to JPG makes the photos work everywhere.
JPG, PNG or WebP?
| Format | Best for | File size vs HEIC |
|---|---|---|
| JPG | Sharing, email, printing, upload forms | Larger (often about double) |
| PNG | Editing without further quality loss | Much larger (lossless) |
| WebP | Websites and apps | Similar or slightly larger |
How to make your iPhone save JPG instead
Open Settings → Camera → Formats and choose Most Compatible. New photos are then saved as JPG. Existing HEIC photos stay HEIC — convert those here.
When you email a photo or share it to some apps, iOS may already convert it to JPG automatically. Photos copied from the phone to a computer over USB or cloud storage usually stay HEIC.
Opening HEIC on Windows
Windows 10 and 11 can display HEIC only after installing the HEIF Image Extensions and HEVC Video Extensions from the Microsoft Store, and the HEVC extension is a paid download. Converting to JPG avoids installing anything.
