Why iPhone photos are HEIC
A newer format, about half the size of a JPG.
Since iOS 11, the iPhone camera saves photos as HEIC (High Efficiency Image Format) by default. A HEIC photo keeps about the same quality as a JPG at roughly half the file size, which saves space on the phone. The catch is that many upload forms, Windows programs and older devices can't open it.
You can also stop it at the source. In Settings → Camera → Formats, Most Compatible makes the camera save JPGs from then on. In Settings → Photos, Transfer to Mac or PC set to Automatic converts photos to JPG when you copy them to a computer.
What converting changes
And what it leaves alone.
JPG compresses with some loss, so converting re-compresses the photo once. At the default setting the difference is hard to see, and the JPGs usually come out larger than the HEIC files. Photos are turned the way the iPhone showed them, and here location and camera details are left out unless you turn Strip metadata off.
A Live Photo converts as its still image; the moving part is a separate video file and isn't included. You can convert up to 5 photos at a time, each up to 10 MB.
iPhones save photos as HEIC, which many websites, Windows apps and older devices can’t open. Drop the photos here and download JPGs that open anywhere; JPG is already chosen, and the other formats are there if you need them.
How it works
- Add your photos — Drop up to 5 iPhone photos (.heic or .heif) at a time, or browse for them.
- JPG is chosen — Leave it, or turn down Quality under Advanced Options for smaller files.
- Convert — One photo downloads as a JPG; several come back together in a ZIP.
- See the sizes — The size before and after appears once the download starts; a JPG can come out larger than the HEIC.
Examples
- Photos for a website form — Upload forms that reject .heic take the JPG.
- Sending to a Windows PC — JPGs open in any photo viewer without an extension.
- Smaller for email — Choose Smaller file size under Advanced Options to send a batch without hitting attachment limits.
FAQ
- What is HEIC? — The format iPhones use for photos since iOS 11. It keeps quality at about half the size of JPG, but many websites and older programs can’t open it.
- Will my photos be sideways? — No. Photos are turned the way your iPhone showed them before converting.
- What about location data? — Strip metadata is on here, so the JPGs leave out where the photos were taken and the camera details. Turn it off under Advanced Options to keep them.
- Do you keep my photos? — No. They are converted in memory on our server and discarded once the download is sent.
