Frequently asked questions
Why won't my HEIC photos open on Windows?
HEIC is Apple's format and needs codecs many systems lack. Converting to JPG makes them open everywhere.
Are my photos uploaded?
No - decoding happens in your browser with WebAssembly. Photos never leave your device.
Open iPhone HEIC photos anywhere
iPhones have shot photos in HEIC since iOS 11 - a genuinely better format that half the world's software still refuses to open. Windows Photo Viewer chokes, older Android phones shrug, upload forms reject it. This converter turns HEIC photos into universally-supported JPG or PNG right in your browser, including iPhone photos with multiple frames.
Your photos are decoded on your own device - nothing is uploaded, which is precisely what you want for a camera roll.
Batch conversion and quality
Drop in a whole set of HEIC files at once and each converts in sequence to correctly-named JPGs. Quality is preserved: HEIC files decode at their full resolution, and the JPG encoder is set high enough that the conversion is visually lossless. Metadata like orientation is respected, so sideways photos come out the right way up.
Converting HEIC to PNG is also supported for the rare case where you need lossless output - expect noticeably larger files, since PNG doesn't compress photographs efficiently.
Stop iPhone shooting HEIC (if you want)
If you convert constantly, you can make the iPhone shoot JPG natively: Settings → Camera → Formats → 'Most Compatible'. The trade-off is roughly double the storage use - HEIC really is about twice as efficient. Many people keep HEIC on and convert only what they share; this tool makes that workflow painless.
