What Is HEIC to JPG Conversion?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the default photo format used by Apple iPhones and iPads since iOS 11. While HEIC files are smaller in size than JPGs at similar quality, they are not universally supported outside the Apple ecosystem.
Converting HEIC to JPG is essential when you need to share iPhone photos with Windows users, upload images to websites that don't accept HEIC, or use them in older image editing software that lacks HEIC support.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my iPhone save photos as HEIC?
Starting with iOS 11, Apple uses HEIC by default because it produces files about 50% smaller than JPG at the same quality, saving storage space on your phone.
Can I change my iPhone to save as JPG instead?
Yes, go to Settings > Camera > Formats and select 'Most Compatible'. However, this will use more storage. Our tool lets you convert individual files when needed.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. The HEIC to JPG conversion happens entirely in your web browser using JavaScript. Your photos are never uploaded or stored anywhere.
Can I convert HEIF files too?
Yes, HEIF is the same format family as HEIC. Our converter supports both .heic and .heif file extensions.
