Convert iPhone HEIC photos to JPG or PNG
Open one or more HEIC or HEIF photos and create JPG or PNG copies that are easier to use on Windows, websites, forms, and older apps.

JPG or PNG Output
JPG is usually the best choice for sharing photos and uploading to forms. PNG can be useful when you plan to edit the image afterward.
| Output | Best for | Reminder |
|---|---|---|
| JPG | Compatibility, sharing, and forms | Uses compression, so choose quality carefully. |
| PNG | Editing and screenshots | Often creates larger files. |
| HEIC / HEIF | Apple photo storage | Some websites and older apps cannot open it directly. |
Why Convert HEIC Photos?
HEIC is common on iPhone and iPad because it stores high-quality photos efficiently. The tradeoff is compatibility: some websites, Windows workflows, older apps, and form uploads still expect JPG or PNG.
| Need | Suggested output | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Upload to a form | JPG | Most upload fields accept JPG. |
| Share with non-Apple devices | JPG | High compatibility across phones and desktops. |
| Edit later in a design tool | PNG | Useful when you want a less compressed working copy. |
| Keep the original Apple photo | Keep HEIC too | Conversion creates a new file; keep the original if storage allows. |
Large Batch Conversion Tips
HEIC decoding can use a noticeable amount of browser memory, especially with many high-resolution photos. If conversion feels slow, process files in smaller batches and close unused tabs.
- Convert a few photos first to confirm the output format and quality.
- Use JPG for normal sharing and uploads.
- Use PNG only when file size is less important than editing flexibility.
- Keep your original HEIC files until you verify the converted outputs.
