Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is my HEIC photo conversion private and secure?
Yes. All conversion happens locally in your web browser using client-side WebAssembly technology. Your photos are never sent to any external server.
Can I convert multiple HEIC photos at once?
Yes, our tool supports batch processing. You can select multiple HEIC photos simultaneously and download all converted JPGs in a single ZIP file.
Why do iPhone photos save as HEIC instead of JPG?
Apple uses High Efficiency Image Container (HEIC) format to compress high-quality photos into smaller storage footprints. Converting to standard JPG format makes them compatible across Windows, Android, and web tools.
What is the maximum file size limit?
You can convert files up to 50MB per file with unlimited daily conversions and zero registration requirements.
How do I open a HEIC file on Windows?
Windows 10 and 11 can open HEIC only after you install the HEIF and HEVC extensions from the Microsoft Store, and the HEVC one may cost money. The easier route is to convert the photo to JPG here, which opens everywhere.
How do I open HEIC photos on Android?
Many newer Android phones and the Google Photos app can show HEIC, but older phones, some gallery apps and many websites cannot. Converting to JPG avoids the problem.
Is JPG quality lower than HEIC?
JPG is a lossy format, so a conversion can never be perfectly lossless. At High Quality (92%) the difference is very hard to see on screen. The file is usually larger than the HEIC because HEIC compresses more efficiently.
Why is my JPG larger than the original HEIC?
HEIC stores the same picture in about half the space. When you convert to JPG the file grows. Pick the Balanced setting if you need a smaller file, or reduce the dimensions with the image resizer.
Does converting HEIC keep the date and location data?
Do not rely on it. Depending on how the file is produced, details such as the date or location may or may not be carried over. If privacy matters, check the file before you share it.
Can I convert HEIC on a Mac or an iPhone without a website?
Yes. On a Mac you can export from Preview or Photos as JPEG, and an iPhone can be set to Most Compatible under Settings, Camera, Formats so new photos are saved as JPG. This page is faster when you have many existing files or no spare time.
Why won’t my HEIC file upload to a website?
Many forms, job sites and government portals accept only JPG or PNG. Convert the HEIC photo to JPG first and then upload that file.
Getting Better Results From iPhone Photo Conversions
HEIC is the default on recent iPhones, but most websites, older Windows programs, and many print services still expect JPG. These notes cover the choices that actually change the outcome.
Which Quality Setting to Use
- Balanced (80%) suits photos you plan to email, post, or attach to a form. Files stay compact and the difference is hard to see on a screen.
- High Quality (92%) is the sensible default for photos you want to keep or print at normal sizes.
- Maximum (100%) gives the largest files. It is worth using mainly when you will edit the image further, because JPG is lossy even at the top setting.
Expect Bigger Files
HEIC squeezes photos harder than JPG does, so a converted JPG is often noticeably larger than the original. That is not a sign of an error. If space or upload limits are a concern, choose Balanced, or shrink the pixel dimensions afterward with the image resizer.
Live Photos and Metadata
A Live Photo is a still plus a short video, and a still JPG can only hold the still frame. Also check the result before sharing publicly: camera details can travel with a photo, and the converted file may or may not retain them depending on how it is produced, so do not assume it has been stripped of location data.
Avoiding the Problem Next Time
On an iPhone you can change Settings, Camera, Formats to Most Compatible so new photos are saved as JPG. Existing HEIC photos still need converting, which is what this page is for.
HEIC vs JPG at a Glance
HEIC (also called HEIF) was introduced to store photos in about half the space of JPG with similar visible quality. JPG is older and bigger, but it works on every phone, computer, browser, print shop and upload form. If you only need to view photos on Apple devices, keep the HEIC. If you share, print or upload them, convert a copy to JPG and keep the original.
Opening HEIC Without Converting
Windows needs extra codecs from the Microsoft Store, older Android phones and many websites cannot show HEIC at all, and some editing programs ask you to convert first. Converting a copy to JPG is the most reliable fix.
