Why iPhone photos are HEIC

Apple adopted HEIC because it stores the same photo in about half the space of JPG. That is great for your phone storage, but the format never became universal: forms reject it, older software cannot open it, and sharing it outside the Apple ecosystem is a lottery.

JPG: the compatible choice

Converting to JPG makes the photo work everywhere — email, forms, marketplaces, any device. Use the quality slider (75–85 recommended) to balance size and fidelity.

Frequently asked questions

Does this work with Live Photos and bursts?

Yes — the main frame of the HEIC file is decoded and converted. Multi-image HEIC containers convert their primary photo.

Why does the first conversion take a moment?

The HEIC decoder loads in your browser the first time you use it (a couple of MB). After that, conversions run at full speed.

Is my photo uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser with WebAssembly — your image never leaves your device, which makes this safe even for ID photos and documents.
