HEIC files, answered
Why won't my HEIC file open on Windows?
HEIC has been Apple's default photo format since iOS 11. Windows and Android don't read it without extra software, so converting to JPG makes the photo work everywhere.
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. Conversion runs in your browser using WebAssembly. Nothing is sent to a server and nothing is stored.
Does converting lose quality?
There's a small loss because JPG compresses differently, but at the quality used here it isn't visible in normal viewing.
Can I convert HEIC to PNG, WebP or AVIF instead?
Yes. Pick the format from the Output settings. JPG opens everywhere, PNG is lossless, WebP makes smaller files for websites, and AVIF is smaller still where your browser supports creating it.
Can I convert several at once?
Yes. Drop as many as you like and download them together as a ZIP.
How do I stop my iPhone saving HEIC in the first place?
Open Settings → Camera → Formats and choose Most Compatible, which saves new photos as JPG. Then open Settings → Photos and set Transfer to Mac or PC to Automatic, so copies come across as JPG. Photos already in your library stay HEIC and still need converting.
What happens to Live Photos and burst shots?
You get the still frame. The short video attached to a Live Photo isn't something a JPG can hold, and a burst converts as its first frame.
Does the camera and location data survive?
No. The photo is redrawn as it converts, so the EXIF block — camera, date and the GPS coordinates most phones record — isn't carried into the JPG. That's usually welcome when you're sending a photo to someone.
Why is the JPG bigger than the HEIC?
HEIC is roughly twice as efficient as JPG, so the same picture needs more space as a JPG. If the file has to be small, convert first and then compress to the size you need.
