HEIC to JPG
Your iPhone saves photos as HEIC. Most other things want JPG. Drop the files below and they convert here, on your device — nothing is uploaded, which matters rather more for personal photos than for a logo.
Why are my photos HEIC in the first place?
Apple switched the default camera format in iOS 11. HEIC stores roughly the same picture in about half the space of a JPEG, which is why your phone still has room on it. The trade is compatibility: Windows needs a paid codec from the Microsoft Store to even show a thumbnail, plenty of websites reject the upload, and older Android phones have never heard of it.
Stopping it happening again
On your iPhone, open Settings → Camera → Formats and choose Most Compatible. New photos will be JPEG from then on. Existing ones stay HEIC, which is what this page is for. There is also Settings → Photos → Transfer to Mac or PC → Automatic, which converts on the way out when you plug in.
How the conversion works here
If you are on a Mac, iPhone or iPad, Safari already understands HEIC and the conversion is handled by the same hardware decoder the Photos app uses — fast, and nothing extra to download. On Chrome, Edge and Firefox there is no built-in support, so this page quietly loads a HEIC decoder the first time you drop a file. That is a one-off download of roughly two megabytes, cached afterwards.
What happens to the extra data?
HEIC files can hold more than one image — Live Photos, burst frames, depth maps for Portrait mode. JPEG holds exactly one, so the main photo is what you get. Rotation is applied, so pictures come out the right way up rather than sideways.
Frequently asked questions
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No, and this is the whole reason the page exists. Converting holiday photos or pictures of your family usually means handing them to a stranger's server. Here the work happens in your browser. There is no upload endpoint, nothing is stored, and you can go offline once the page has loaded.
How many photos can I do at once?
As many as your device can hold. They are processed a few at a time so your phone does not run out of memory partway through. A large batch will take a while on a phone; a laptop chews through hundreds.
Which quality should I pick?
92 is a good default — visually indistinguishable from the original for almost anyone. Drop to 80 if you are emailing them and size matters. Below about 70 you will start to see blocking in skies and skin tones.
Will the JPG be bigger than the HEIC?
Usually, yes, often around twice the size. That is the price of the compatibility. Use the compressor afterwards if you need them smaller.
My file says .jpg but nothing opens it.
Some apps rename HEIC files to .jpg without converting them. Drop it here anyway — this page reads the actual file contents rather than trusting the extension, so it will be recognised and converted properly.
