Stop your iPhone creating HEIC files

On the iPhone, go to Settings → Camera → Formats and choose “Most Compatible”. New photos will be saved as JPG. Photos you already have stay HEIC, so convert those here.

Converting a whole camera roll

Add as many HEIC files as you like. They are all converted with the same settings, and you can download them one by one or together as a ZIP.

Size, quality and photo details

Set the quality with the slider, and under “Resize and more” fit the pictures within a width and height, scale them or set the DPI. Photos are turned upright, and you can keep details such as the camera and date in the JPG.

Frequently asked questions

Is the photo uploaded to convert it?

No — the conversion runs in your browser, so your photos stay on your device.

Can I convert HEIC to PNG instead?

Yes — use HEIC to PNG for lossless files, at the cost of a bigger size.
