HEIC Converter

Turn iPhone photos into files every app can open.

Convert iPhone HEIC photos to JPG, PNG or WEBP in bulk, on Windows, Mac or Android. Free, no limit, and your photos are never uploaded.

What HEIC Converter is for

The single most common conversion anyone needs: a photo taken on an iPhone that nobody else can open. HEIC is Apple's default camera format and Windows, most websites and most older software will not accept it.

Why iPhone photos are HEIC

Since iOS 11 iPhones save photos in HEIC, which is about half the size of JPG. Windows, many websites and most upload forms cannot open it. Converting to JPG fixes all of those at once.

JPG, PNG or WEBP

JPG for sharing, printing and forms. PNG if you are going to edit the photo and want no further loss. WEBP for a website. Convert a whole camera roll at once; the results come back as a ZIP.

Location data

iPhone photos usually carry the GPS location they were taken at. If you are sharing them, remove it afterwards with Remove Metadata.

How to use it

  1. Add your files. Drop them on the page or choose them. They stay on your device.
  2. Set the output format and quality. The defaults suit most files.
  3. Press convert and save the results, individually or as one ZIP.

Questions

Why will nothing open my HEIC file?

HEIC is a modern Apple format built on video compression. It saves about half the space of JPG, but Windows needs an extension installed and a great many websites reject the upload outright. JPG is accepted everywhere.

Will the photo lose quality?

A little, because both formats are lossy and this re-encodes. At the default quality the difference is not visible at normal size. The file will usually be larger than the HEIC, because JPG is the less efficient format.

Can I convert a whole camera roll?

Yes. Add as many photos as you like and they come back as a single ZIP, with no limit on how many or how large.

Should I stop my iPhone shooting HEIC?

Only if the sharing friction outweighs the space saving. Settings, Camera, Formats, Most Compatible switches the camera to JPG permanently.
