Press Run. Images are processed one by one and can be saved as they finish, or all together as a ZIP.
What is HEIC?
HEIC is the default photo format on iPhones since iOS 11. It stores the same quality in about half the size of JPG, but Windows out of the box and many web services cannot open it, so sharing or submitting photos often requires converting to JPG.
Setting the iPhone camera to "Most Compatible" captures JPG from then on, but does nothing for photos already taken. This tool converts them in any browser on Windows or Android, no Mac required.
Frequently asked questions
Are my photos sent to a server?
No. HEIC decoding uses libheif loaded into your browser as WebAssembly, and the JPG is written on your device. Processing statistics used to fix bugs (device specs, error types and so on; never the photos themselves or their file names) are sent to this site's server. You can turn this off with the switch under “Help us improve the service” at the bottom of the page.
Is quality lost?
JPG is lossy, so there is a slight loss, but at the default quality of 80 it is not visible. For printing, use quality 90–95.
What about Live Photos and bursts?
Only the still image is converted. The video part of a Live Photo is a separate .mov file and is not included.
My file is .jpg but will not open — can it be converted?
Yes. Files renamed to .jpg by AirDrop and similar are detected as HEIC from their contents. Drop them onto the "Convert image format" tool.
Help us improve the service
If a conversion fails, sending us the circumstances helps us track down the cause. Knowing which devices and formats fail most often, and how long processing takes, lets us revise the supported formats and fix the bugs behind them. If you don't mind, leaving this on is a real help.
What is sent
- The tool you used and the settings you chose (output format, quality, etc.)
- Your device specs (GPU, memory, core count)
- The input format with a rough size
- How many files succeeded or failed and how long it took
- The error type and details when something fails
What is never sent
- The files themselves and file names
- Text, subtitles or prompts you add to a video
- The text to be read aloud, voice descriptions, the pronunciation dictionary and saved voices
- The text in PDFs, the text you rewrote or redacted, passwords, font names and the page ranges you enter
- IP addresses
The data goes only to this site's own server, never to a third-party service.
Details sent by specific tools (counts, times, kinds and yes/no only)
In addition to “What is sent”, text to speech and the PDF tools send the following details.
- Text to speech
- The approximate number of characters and sentences, how many parts the text was generated in, and how long the AI model took to load.
- PDF tools (all)
- The page count range, whether editing is restricted, whether a permissions password was entered, and whether the PDF is signed or encrypted.
- PDF text editing and redaction
- The numbers of rewrites, deletions, white-outs and redactions, the number of rewritten characters by source (original font or fallback font, the latter as a range) and the fallback typeface, the kinds of reasons why lines cannot be edited, and the number of pages turned into images by redaction and the reasons.
- PDF page operations and conversion between images and PDF
- The numbers of inputs and outputs, of pages rotated, deleted, duplicated or moved, of images inserted as they are, converted, in HEIC format or with corrected orientation, and of pages rendered at a lower resolution (all as ranges), whether the original was updated in place or a new document was created, and whether the original protection was reapplied, form fields were written into the page and bookmarks were added back.
- PDF compression
- The numbers of inputs and outputs, of images downsized, not downsized and black-and-white, of downsized images whose transparency was also downsized, that stayed lossless or that were converted from CMYK to RGB, and how many times the file was compressed (all as ranges), the kinds of reasons images were not downsized, whether the target size was met and the kind of reason it was not met, the range of how much smaller the file got, whether the original protection was reapplied, and whether the original PDF was returned unchanged.
- PDF cropping and page numbers
- The numbers of inputs and outputs and of pages cropped, numbered or with their margins reduced (all as ranges), how the margins were set, how the pages to crop or number were chosen, the number format and position, the range of the starting number, that the original was updated in place, and whether the original protection was reapplied.
