Why do my iPhone photos need converting to JPG?

iPhones save photos as HEIC by default to save storage space. HEIC isn't supported by most non-Apple software, older websites, and some Android/Windows apps — converting to JPG makes the photo openable everywhere.

Does this reduce image quality?

You control the JPG quality level with a slider; higher settings preserve more detail at a larger file size.

Are my photos uploaded to a server?

No — the HEIC file is decoded and converted entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

Will this work with Live Photos?

This converts the still image only. Live Photos are actually a photo + a short video paired together, and only the photo (HEIC) part is handled here.

Can I convert multiple HEIC files at once?

Yes, batch upload is supported and you can download all results as a ZIP.

What is HEIC vs JPG?

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Format) is Apple's default photo format on iPhone since iOS 11 — it stores photos at roughly half the file size of an equivalent JPG at similar quality. The trade-off is compatibility: most non-Apple software, older websites, and many Windows or Android apps can't open HEIC directly. JPG is universally supported everywhere, which is why converting is often the first thing people do after AirDropping or exporting iPhone photos to another device.
