Your iPhone saves photos as HEIC. The rest of the world still speaks JPG, PNG, and WebP. This converter translates HEIC into whatever format your destination actually accepts.

100% private. Nothing is uploaded.
AirDrop, iCloud download, or USB import from iPhone. The converter accepts single files or full album batches.
WebAssembly-based HEVC decoder runs in your browser tab. Decoded pixels encode into your chosen output format (JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, TIFF).
Original filename preserved with new extension. EXIF capture date, GPS, camera model, and exposure settings carry over where the target format supports them.

HEIC compresses roughly half the size of JPG at equivalent quality. It also fails to open in half the apps and devices outside the Apple ecosystem. Conversion bridges the gap.

HEIC vs HEIF, iOS settings, and metadata behavior.
Since iOS 11 (2017), iPhones default to HEIC for half the storage of equivalent JPG. You can switch back in Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible, but existing HEIC files still need conversion for non-Apple destinations.
HEIF is the container format (High Efficiency Image File). HEIC is the name Apple uses when HEIF wraps HEVC-encoded images. Functionally identical for conversion — this tool accepts both .heic and .heif.
JPG for universal compatibility (email, print, legacy apps). PNG for lossless editing. WebP for modern web delivery. AVIF for smallest file size with modern browser support. TIFF for print or archival workflows.
Yes for formats that support EXIF (JPG, WebP, AVIF, TIFF). Capture date, camera model, lens, exposure, and GPS coordinates preserve. PNG has no standard EXIF support so metadata drops on PNG output.
Yes. Samsung Galaxy S20+, Pixel, and other modern Android devices also shoot HEIC when enabled. The HEVC bitstream is standardized, so source device doesn't matter — conversion behaves identically.
The primary still frame converts normally. The companion .mov video of a Live Photo is ignored. Portrait mode depth maps and semantic segmentation stored in HEIC auxiliary images are dropped — target formats don't have standard slots for them.
