About HEIC and JPG
- HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the format iPhones and iPads save photos in by default. It stores a photo in roughly half the space of a JPG at similar quality, but many Windows PCs, websites, upload forms and older apps can't open it.
- JPG (also written JPEG) is the most widely supported photo format. Its lossy compression keeps photos small, but it has no transparency and loses a little detail every time it's re-saved.
Good to know
- Nothing is installed and there's no account. The conversion runs in your browser tab, so it works the same on Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, Android and Chromebook.

Frequently asked questions
Will I lose quality converting HEIC to JPG?
At the default 90% quality the difference is practically invisible. JPG is lossy, so very low quality settings will show blur or blocky edges.
Can I convert several HEIC files at once?
Yes. Add as many as you like; each converts on its own, and Download all saves them in one ZIP.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs in your browser using your device's own processor, so your photos never leave your device. You can even disconnect from the internet once the page has loaded.
