What is HEIC and Why Convert to JPG?

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the default photo format used by Apple devices since iOS 11. While HEIC files offer excellent image quality with smaller file sizes, they're not universally supported across all devices and software.

Converting HEIC to JPG (or JPEG) solves compatibility issues, letting you:

  • Share photos with friends on any device
  • Upload images to websites that don't support HEIC format
  • Edit photos in software that only recognizes JPG files
  • View your Apple photos on Windows, Android, or older devices

Common HEIC Conversion Questions

Why are my iPhone photos in HEIC format?

Apple adopted HEIC as the default photo format because it produces smaller file sizes while maintaining high image quality. This saves storage space on your device.

Will converting to JPG reduce image quality?

JPG is a compressed format, but our converter optimizes the conversion to preserve maximum quality. For most use cases, you won't notice any difference.

Can I convert HEIC to other formats besides JPG?

Yes! Our tool supports conversion to both JPG and PNG formats, giving you flexibility based on your needs.

Is there a file size limit?

No. Since conversion happens on your device rather than our servers, you can convert images of any size that your browser can handle.

What devices support HEIC files?

HEIC is natively supported on Apple devices (iOS 11+, macOS High Sierra+) and Windows 10 (version 1809+). However, many websites, apps, and older software don't support this format, which is why conversion to JPG is often necessary.
