What is a HEIC file?

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the photo format iPhones and iPads use by default. It keeps photos at roughly half the size of a JPG with similar quality, but many Windows PCs, websites and apps can’t open it.

How to convert HEIC to JPG

  1. Choose your HEIC photos (up to 30 at once).
  2. Pick JPG or PNG and the quality.
  3. Download each converted photo.

JPG or PNG?

Format Best for File size
JPG Photos to share, upload or email Small
PNG Editing, or when you need lossless quality Large

Stop your iPhone saving HEIC

Go to Settings → Camera → Formats and choose Most Compatible. New photos will be saved as JPG. Photos you share by email or AirDrop to non-Apple devices are often converted automatically too.

Converted photos don’t keep location or camera details (EXIF data), which is good for privacy when sharing online.
