Select HEIC FileWhy do iPhone photos need converting?
iPhones running iOS 11 and later save photos in HEIC format by default. While HEIC offers excellent compression, many applications, websites, and Windows PCs do not support it. Converting to JPG ensures your photos open everywhere — in emails, on social media, in documents, and on any device.
Frequently asked questions
- Why does my iPhone take HEIC photos?
- Since iOS 11, iPhones default to HEIC (High Efficiency Image Coding) to save storage space. HEIC files are roughly half the size of equivalent JPG files while maintaining similar quality. However, many apps, websites, and Windows computers do not support HEIC natively.
- How do I change my iPhone to shoot JPG instead of HEIC?
- Go to Settings > Camera > Formats and select "Most Compatible." New photos will be saved as JPG. However, this uses more storage. Alternatively, keep HEIC and use this tool to convert specific photos when needed.
- Can I convert multiple iPhone photos at once?
- This tool processes one photo at a time for the best browser performance. After downloading the first conversion, click Clear and upload the next photo.
- Will the converted JPG look the same as the original?
- At the default 92% quality setting, the JPG output will look virtually identical to the HEIC original. You can adjust the quality slider for smaller files or higher fidelity.
