About This Tool

If you've ever tried sharing an iPhone photo with a Windows PC or Android device, you've likely hit the HEIC compatibility wall. The file simply won't open, or the website rejects it. HEIC is Apple's proprietary format — technically superior to JPG, but incompatible with most of the world.

Converting HEIC to JPG is the simplest fix. JPG is supported by every operating system, browser, image viewer, social platform, and design tool on the planet.

SiteConversor uses heic2any, an open-source JavaScript library that decodes Apple's HEIC format entirely in your browser. Your personal photos — family moments, travel pictures, private documents — are never transmitted to any external server.

For users who regularly transfer photos from iPhone to Windows or need to share images widely, keeping SiteConversor bookmarked means you're always one step from a universally compatible version of any iPhone photo.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does iPhone save as HEIC? expand_more

Apple introduced HEIC in iOS 11 (2017) because it offers ~50% smaller file sizes than JPG at equivalent quality, saving storage space on your iPhone.

Can I make iPhone save as JPG? expand_more

Yes: Settings → Camera → Formats → select 'Most Compatible'. This saves photos as JPG directly. Trade-off is roughly double storage per photo.

Does HEIC to JPG reduce quality? expand_more

Very slightly. HEIC decoding is lossless; re-encoding as JPG at 90% quality (our default) introduces minimal compression. Differences are imperceptible at normal viewing sizes.

Why can't Windows open HEIC files? expand_more

Windows lacks built-in HEIC support. Microsoft offers the HEVC Video Extensions on the Store (paid), but converting to JPG first is often faster and simpler.

Is HEIC the same as HEIF? expand_more

HEIF is the container standard; HEIC is Apple's HEIF implementation using HEVC compression. They are functionally equivalent for photo use.
