HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the default photo format on iPhones and iPads. It stores photos at roughly half the size of JPG, but many Windows apps, websites and upload forms still can't open it. Converting to JPG makes the photo work everywhere.
To have your iPhone shoot JPG in future, go to Settings → Camera → Formats and choose “Most Compatible”.
Quality and privacy
The quality slider starts at 92, which looks identical to the original for normal viewing. The converted JPG doesn't carry over the photo's metadata, so camera details and GPS location are removed — useful before sharing photos publicly.
| Quality | Looks | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| 90–100 | Indistinguishable from the original | Printing, archiving, editing later |
| 75–89 | No visible difference for most images | Websites, email and social media |
| 50–74 | Slight softness on close inspection | Thumbnails and previews |
| Below 50 | Visible blocks and smearing | Only when file size matters most |
Troubleshooting
- Need a PNG instead: use HEIC to PNG for lossless output.
- Want one PDF of several iPhone photos: use HEIC to PDF.
- Large batches are slower on phones: HEIC decoding happens on your device, so convert big batches on a computer.
Frequently asked questions
What is a HEIC file and why does my iPhone use it?
HEIC is Apple's space-efficient photo format, but it isn't supported everywhere — converting to JPG makes photos open on any device.
How do I stop my iPhone shooting HEIC?
On iPhone: Settings → Camera → Formats → choose 'Most Compatible' to shoot JPG instead.
Does HEIC to JPG lose quality?
There's a small lossy step, but at high quality it's visually identical. Adjust with the quality slider.
Can I convert many HEIC photos at once?
Yes — drop several and download them individually or all as a ZIP.
Are my photos uploaded? Is location data kept?
No upload — it runs in your browser, and metadata like GPS is stripped when the photo is re-encoded.
