Why convert HEIC to JPG?

iPhones save photos as HEIC to use less space. Windows, older Macs, many websites and government forms can't open HEIC, but every device opens JPG. Converting keeps the picture and makes it usable everywhere.

What is converted

Accepted filesHEIC and HEIF photos from iPhone, iPad and other cameras.
Photos with several picturesThe main picture is converted. Other pictures in the file, such as burst shots, are left out.
Photo directionPhotos are turned the way the camera recorded, so they are not sideways.
See-through partsJPG has no transparency, so see-through areas become white.
Photo detailsLocation, date and camera details are not copied into the JPG.

Privacy: how this tool handles your photos

When you use HEIC to JPG, your browser reads your photos on your device and the tool's code does the work in this tab. PageYak's server only sends the page and its code. It never receives your photos, so there is nothing to delete afterwards.

How PageYak works explains this in more detail.

When you need JPG instead of HEIC

HEIC (also called HEIF) is the photo format iPhones use by default since iOS 11. It saves space, but many sites and apps still expect JPG.

  • Uploading iPhone photos to job portals, government forms and websites that only accept JPG or PNG.
  • Opening iPhone photos on older Windows PCs and Android phones that cannot show HEIC.
  • Sending photos by email or messaging apps to people who cannot open HEIC files.
  • Editing in software that does not read HEIC.

Questions

Will the JPG look the same?

At High quality it is hard to see any difference. The file is usually larger than the HEIC, because JPG packs pictures less tightly.

Why is the first photo slow?

Most browsers can't read HEIC, so the page loads a HEIC reader the first time you add a photo. It is about 2 MB and runs on your device.

Can I stop my iPhone saving HEIC?

Yes. In Settings, open Camera, then Formats, and choose Most Compatible. New photos are then saved as JPG.

Can I put the photos into a PDF instead?

Yes, with HEIC to PDF.

Can I convert many HEIC photos at once?

Yes. Choose or drop as many photos as you like and download them together.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. The conversion runs in your browser, so private photos stay on your device.
