What is HEIC and why are my iPhone photos in HEIC?
HEIC (HEIF) is Apple's default photo format. It takes about half the storage of JPG, but Windows PCs, some websites and older devices can't open it. Converting to JPG makes your photos usable everywhere.
Will conversion reduce photo quality?
No. The converter keeps the original resolution and outputs high-quality JPG. HEIC is already a compressed format, so converting to JPG doesn't cause double compression.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
Never. This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your photos stay on your device and are permanently deleted when you close the page.
Can I convert multiple photos at once?
Yes. Hold Ctrl/Command while selecting files, or select a whole folder. All photos convert in parallel and you can download everything as a ZIP.
Which input formats are supported?
HEIC and HEIF from iPhone/iPad. Output is high-quality JPG by default.
Will converting large photos be slow?
Speed depends on file size and your computer. A typical 12MP photo converts in 1-3 seconds, and batch conversion runs in parallel.
Do I need to sign up or pay?
No. It's completely free, no account required, no file count or size limits.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. Open the page in your mobile browser and convert on the go. Converted photos can be saved or shared directly.
