About this conversion
HEIC is the format iPhones save photos in by default, but it isn’t reliably supported outside Apple devices. Converting to JPG makes your photos openable everywhere -- Windows, Android, older software, and virtually every website upload form. You can convert single images or batch convert multiple files while keeping your original filenames.
Frequently asked questions
Why can’t I open my iPhone photos on my PC?
They’re HEIC files, which many non-Apple apps and older software can’t decode. Converting to JPG fixes that.
Does this batch convert HEIC photos and preserve original filenames?
Yes. Drag and drop multiple HEIC files or use the dedicated HEIC Batch Converter. The downloaded ZIP preserves each photo’s original filename without renaming them.
Does this work in every browser?
HEIC decoding depends on your browser having a built-in decoder. Safari usually can; Chrome and Firefox often can’t. If decoding fails here, that’s your browser’s limitation, not a bug -- try Safari, or export as JPG directly from your iPhone’s share sheet instead.
Is this the same as changing my iPhone’s camera settings?
No -- this converts files you already have. To have your iPhone save JPGs going forward, change Settings → Camera → Formats to "Most Compatible".
