Why HEIC needs converting in the first place
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's default photo format since iOS 11 — it compresses better than JPG at the same quality, but most non-Apple software, older websites, and many upload forms don't know how to read it. This tool decodes HEIC entirely client-side and re-encodes it to whichever format you actually need.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert a HEIC photo from my iPhone to JPG?
Drop the .HEIC file above, choose JPG as the output format, and download — that's it. HEIC is the default photo format on iPhones since iOS 11, but most non-Apple apps, websites, and older photo tools still can't open it directly, which is exactly what this converts around.
Why can't I just open a HEIC file directly in Chrome or Windows?
HEIC decoding isn't built into most browsers or into Windows by default — Safari and modern macOS/iOS handle it natively, but Chrome, Firefox, and most of Windows do not. This tool includes a HEIC decoder that runs entirely in your browser, so it works regardless of your operating system.
Which output format should I choose — PNG, JPG, or WebP?
JPG is the safest choice for photos and maximum compatibility with older tools. PNG preserves transparency and gives lossless quality, at a larger file size — use it for graphics, screenshots, or logos. WebP usually gives the smallest file size at a similar quality to JPG, and is well supported by modern browsers and most upload forms.
Does converting a HEIC or JPG image reduce its quality?
Converting to PNG is lossless — no quality is lost. Converting to JPG or WebP uses lossy compression controlled by the quality slider; higher quality means a larger file that's closer to the original, lower quality trades some detail for a smaller file. The default of 90% is a good balance for most photos.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere during conversion?
No. Everything — including HEIC decoding — happens locally in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your image is never sent to a server, which also means there's no server-side file size limit and no wait for an upload.
