Apple made HEIC the standard for iPhone photos in iOS 11, but many platforms—from Windows to older websites—still can't open them. Our tool instantly converts your sharp, efficient HEIC files into universally compatible JPGs without ever uploading your private photos to a cloud server.
HEIC vs JPG
| Feature | HEIC | JPG |
|---|---|---|
| Compatibility | Apple devices only | Universal (100%) |
| Transparency | No | No |
| Compression | Modern (High Eff.) | Legacy (Standard) |
While HEIC saves space, JPG is the 'lingua franca' of digital images. You need JPGs for passport applications, government forms, legacy software, and sharing with Android users who haven't updated their devices.
Pro Tips
Bulk Conversion
You can select up to 50 HEIC photos at once. Since it runs on your CPU, it's faster than uploading them one by one.
HEIC uses the HEVC (H.265) codec, which offers 50% better compression than JPG at similar quality. However, JPG uses DCT-based compression which is supported by virtually every piece of software written since 1992.
