Privacy First

All decoding runs in your browser with no uploads, no account, and no cloud queue.

Smart Queue

At most three files are processed at once. Large images can still exceed your browser's available memory.

Built for Compatibility

Export to JPG, PNG, WebP, or combine scans into one multi-page PDF.

Open iPhone photos outside the Apple ecosystem

Converting a copy to JPG solves the most common compatibility problems on Windows PCs, Android devices, email clients, and upload portals.

  • Start with JPG unless your destination specifically requests PNG or PDF.
  • If a photo fails, export the original from the iPhone again and retry.
  • For future photos, iPhone users can choose Camera > Formats > Most Compatible.

Find the compatibility failure before choosing a format

First identify where the photo stops working: during transfer, when opening it, inside an editor, or at an upload form. A partial cloud download needs a fresh transfer, while an unsupported file type needs a compatible copy.

Start with JPG for general sharing. Choose PNG for editing, WebP for a modern website, or PDF when several photographed pages belong in one submission.

Transfer the full-resolution original

A thumbnail, shared preview, or interrupted cloud placeholder may look like a photo but lack the complete image data required for conversion. Export or download the original and check its file size before retrying.

After conversion, compare orientation, color, and detail with the photo on the iPhone before deleting or reorganizing the source.

Check the output, not just the download

Each completed preview now reports dimensions, input/output bytes and measured conversion time. Download the local conversion report to compare files without sending the report to this site. PDF timing covers image preparation, not final document assembly. Use the conversion verification checklist for metadata, quality and browser limitations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this HEIC conversion private?
Yes. Conversion happens on your device inside your browser. Your images are not uploaded to a server as part of the conversion process.
Do you store my photos or keep a copy?
No. The app reads your selected files, generates converted downloads, and shows previews using temporary browser URLs. When you refresh or clear the queue, those previews are released.
Can I combine multiple HEIC photos into one PDF?
Yes. Choose PDF as the output format, add your images, then click Download Multi-Page PDF once they are ready.
Will converting HEIC to JPG reduce quality?
JPG uses lossy compression. For most everyday photos it looks great, but if you need maximum fidelity choose PNG (larger files) or keep the original HEIC as your archive.
Why did a file fail to convert?
Some files are corrupted, partially downloaded, or use features certain decoders do not support. Try again with a single file, export the original photo again from your device, or convert to a different output format.

Tips to Avoid HEIC Issues (iPhone & Windows)

If you want to stop creating HEIC files going forward, iPhone has a camera setting for that. Open Settings > Camera > Formats, then select Most Compatible to save new photos as JPG. If you already have a library of HEIC images, converting them to JPG or PNG is the fastest way to make them usable in older desktop apps, email attachments, and upload forms.
