What is a HEIC file?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the photo format iPhones and iPads have used by default since iOS 11. It keeps the same quality as JPG at about half the file size, which saves space on your phone. The catch is compatibility: many Windows computers, older Android phones, websites and upload forms can’t open HEIC files.
How to convert HEIC to JPG
- Choose one or more HEIC photos, or drag them onto the box.
- Pick JPG (smaller files) or PNG (lossless).
- Download each photo, or press Download all.
The first time, your browser downloads a small decoder (about 1.3 MB). After that, conversion happens on your device.
Stop your iPhone saving HEIC
Open Settings → Camera → Formats and choose Most Compatible. New photos will be saved as JPG. Existing photos stay HEIC, so convert those here.
Need a PDF of your photos? After converting, use JPG to PDF. Want smaller files? Try the image compressor.
