Tips for best results

Why iPhones default to HEIC

HEIC is 40-50% smaller than JPG at equivalent quality. Great for phone storage, lousy for sharing — most Windows PCs, email clients, and older Macs don't recognise the format.

Quality loss is invisible

Our converter exports at 92% JPG quality. The difference from the HEIC original isn't noticeable by eye, but file size drops about 30% compared to lossless export — the right balance for sharing.

Bulk conversion needs a different flow

This tool handles one file at a time. For a batch, change your iPhone to save JPG directly (Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible), or bundle the photos into one document with Images → PDF, which accepts HEIC.

Frequently asked questions

What is HEIC format?

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's default photo format used on iPhones. It offers better compression than JPG but isn't universally supported.

Why does my iPhone save photos as HEIC?

HEIC offers better compression than JPG — iPhone photos in HEIC are about half the file size with the same quality.

Will quality be reduced?

Minimal quality reduction. JPG is exported at 92% quality which is virtually indistinguishable from the original.

Will the GPS and date metadata be preserved?

Basic EXIF metadata including date is preserved. GPS data handling may vary.

Can I convert multiple HEIC files at once?

Currently one file at a time. To avoid converting at all, set your iPhone to save JPG directly: Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible.

Is HEIC to JPG free?

Yes — HEIC to JPG is completely free with no signup required.
