How to use

  1. Add your HEIC photos

    Drop them onto the box above, or press Select images — AirDrop, iCloud and cable exports all work. They stay on your device.

  2. Keep JPG, or pick another format

    JPG is already chosen. PNG, WebP and AVIF are there too, and the quality slider sets how large the JPGs are.

  3. Convert and download

    Each photo lists its size before and after. Take one, or the whole batch as a ZIP.

What HEIC is, and why it needs converting

Since 2017 iPhones have saved photos as HEIC — High Efficiency Image Format with HEVC compression — because it stores the same photo in roughly half the space of a JPG. The catch is everywhere outside Apple’s own apps: Windows without an extra codec, many Android phones, older editing software, and a great many website upload forms either cannot open a HEIC or refuse it outright. JPG opens everywhere, so converting is the quickest way to share or upload a set of iPhone photos.

Converting HEIC in your browser

Chrome and Firefox cannot read HEIC by themselves, so this page brings its own decoder: libheif, the open-source HEIF library, compiled to WebAssembly and loaded only when you add a HEIC file. It runs in a background worker, so the page stays responsive through a large batch, and it applies the rotation stored in the file, so portrait photos come out upright. Files from Windows that arrive without a file type are recognised by their .heic or .heif name.

JPG quality and file size

A JPG of the same photo is usually larger than the HEIC — that is the price of compatibility. The quality slider starts at 82%, which looks the same as the original on a screen; lower it for smaller files to email or upload, raise it for printing. If the files are still too large, the bulk image compressor can aim for a size in KB, and the bulk image resizer can shrink 4032-pixel photos to the size they will actually be shown at.

More than JPG

This page is the bulk image converter opened for iPhone photos. The same batch can be saved as PNG for lossless editing, WebP for a website, or AVIF for the smallest files a modern browser can show — choose under Convert to.

Frequently asked questions

Are my photos uploaded to convert them?
No. The HEIC files are decoded and saved as JPG inside your browser, by libheif compiled to WebAssembly and running in a background worker. Your photos never leave your computer or phone, which is also why there is no account and no daily limit.
How many HEIC photos can I convert at once?
Up to 200 per batch, each up to 30 MB and 50 megapixels — more than the 48 MP an iPhone shoots at its largest. They are converted a few at a time and can be downloaded one by one or all together as a ZIP.
Will the location and date from my iPhone photos be kept?
No. The JPG is written from the photo’s pixels, so the EXIF data — GPS location, date taken and camera details — is not copied across. That is usually what you want before sharing photos; keep the HEIC originals if you need the metadata.
What about Live Photos and portrait photos?
The main still photo is converted, the right way up. The short video half of a Live Photo, depth maps and burst frames are separate parts of the file and are not converted.
Can I stop my iPhone saving HEIC in the first place?
Yes: Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible makes the camera save JPG instead. Photos take more space that way, which is why HEIC is the default; converting only the ones you need to share is often the better trade.
