About the HEIC format
HEIC is the format iPhone has used for photos since iOS 11: at the same quality the file is noticeably smaller than a JPG. The catch is elsewhere — Windows without an extension, Chrome, Firefox and Edge, and many websites do not open it. We convert to JPG right in the browser: the original is not uploaded, and the location and phone model do not make it into the new file.

Conversion runs in your browser. Personal photos, documents and screenshots never leave your device.

GPS: —
A HEIC from an iPhone carries the location and phone model. The JPG does not — unless you ask to keep the date.

Portrait photos stay portrait — the rotation stored in the HEIC is applied to the picture.

JPG for sending and websites, PNG for lossless — but the file is several times larger.

Frequently asked questions
Drop the files into the box on this page or press Choose files — a whole folder is fine, up to 100 at a time. Conversion starts by itself: each photo appears in the list with its size and a download button. Save the JPGs one by one or all together as a ZIP. There is nothing to install, and photos are not sent to a server — it all runs in the browser.
No. Conversion happens in your browser: with the first HEIC our site loads a decoder — the program that reads the format — while the photos themselves go nowhere. In Safari on iPhone and Mac the decoder is often not needed at all, because the browser reads HEIC itself. So it is fine for personal shots, photos of documents and screenshots of chats.
No. A HEIC from an iPhone carries the location and the phone model, but they do not make it into the JPG: the new file is built from the pixels only. The Remove GPS and phone model box is ticked and locked — it is an explanation, not a setting. Only the capture date and time can be kept, if you tick the second box; nothing else is carried over.
Open Settings, then Camera → Formats, and choose Most Compatible — new photos will be taken as JPG, while existing ones stay HEIC. Besides, when you send photos through a browser or mail, iPhone often converts them to JPG on its own. Check the file name: if it already ends in .jpg, there is nothing to convert.
The browser on iPhone and iPad cannot draw a picture larger than 16 megapixels, and conversion works by drawing. So 48-megapixel shots are reduced to 16 megapixels with the proportions kept, and the file's row says so. For viewing and sending that is almost always enough. If you need the full size, convert the same file on a computer, where there is no such limit.
PNG keeps the picture without any quality loss, so the file is several times heavier — a 12-megapixel photo easily weighs tens of megabytes. A JPG at quality 90 is visually indistinguishable from the original and several times smaller. For messengers, mail and websites JPG is almost always enough; PNG makes sense when the picture will be edited further.
