HEIC (HEIF) is the format iPhones use to save photos since iOS 11. It takes about half the space of a JPG, but Windows, Android and many websites cannot open it.

Does converting lose quality?

At 90% JPG quality the result looks the same. Choose PNG if you want a lossless copy, at the cost of a much larger file.

Can I convert many HEIC photos at once?

Yes: use “Compress multiple images” or the Spanish batch converter, which accept HEIC and download everything as a ZIP.

How do I stop my iPhone from taking HEIC photos?

Go to Settings > Camera > Formats and choose “Most Compatible”. New photos will be saved as JPG.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. Everything is processed inside your browser and your files never leave your device. There is no upload, no queue and no temporary storage, so the tool keeps working even if you go offline after the page has loaded.

Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit. The site is funded by a few unobtrusive ads around the tools, never inside your files.
