iPhone HEIC photos won’t open on Windows or upload forms? Convert them to JPG
HEIC has been the iPhone’s default photo format since iOS 11, which is why Windows, many upload forms and older programs refuse to open or accept it. This tool converts a whole batch of HEIC files to JPG at once and lets you set a maximum width and the quality if you need to. Conversion happens in your browser, so your photos are never uploaded.
A closer look
HEIC applies video compression technology (HEVC) to still photos, which is how it stores the same quality in a smaller file than JPG. The catch is that it won’t open anywhere without a decoder, and browsers such as Chrome can’t display HEIC on their own. So on the first conversion this tool loads a HEIC decoder module, unpacks the photo, and saves the result again as JPG inside your browser. The default quality of 92% is hard to tell apart by eye, but because JPG compresses less efficiently than HEIC, the output is often larger than the original file.
What moves into the JPG is the picture itself. EXIF data such as the capture date, GPS location and camera details is not written to the new file, so date sorting in photo apps may change, although it also means your location doesn’t leak. For a Live Photo, only the still image is converted, since the motion part is a separate video file, and a HEIC containing several images converts only the first one. Decoding is heavy work for the browser, so a large batch of high-resolution photos takes a while.
How to use it
- Drop several HEIC (or HEIF) files on the page at once or use Choose files. Files in other formats are skipped with a note.
- To shrink the files, enter a pixel value in Max width. Leave it blank to keep the original size; values larger than the original have no effect.
- Set Quality (10–100%, 92% by default) and press Convert to JPG.
- When each row shows the new dimensions and file size, save them one by one with Save, grab everything with Download all, or, with two or more files, use Save all as ZIP to get a single file.

Common snags
Tip To have future photos saved as JPG from the start, go to Settings > Camera > Formats on your iPhone and choose “Most Compatible”; convert the HEIC photos you already have here.

HEIC to JPG — FAQ
Why convert HEIC to JPG?
HEIC is the iPhone's default photo format, while JPG is the most widely used photo format. Convert when an app or website doesn't accept HEIC, or to fix size and compatibility issues.
Why won't my iPhone photos (HEIC) open?
HEIC is Apple's default format, but Windows and many websites don't support it. Converting to JPG makes it work everywhere. The first conversion loads a small module and may take a few seconds.
What about transparency?
JPG doesn't support transparency, so transparent areas become white. Choose PNG or WebP to keep transparency.
