How to Convert HEIC Files Online — Free & Instant

Convert iPhone HEIC photos to JPG, PNG, or any format that opens on Windows, Android, and the web.

Upload iPhone HEIC Photos

Drag and drop HEIC files from your iPhone, iPad, or iCloud. These are the default photo format on Apple devices since iOS 11. The converter reads both single-image HEIC and burst-shot HEIF containers.

Convert to a Universal Format

Choose JPG for the widest compatibility on Windows, Android, and every web browser. Pick PNG if you need lossless quality or transparency. EXIF data including GPS, camera model, and date are preserved.

Download Shareable Photos

Download converted photos that open everywhere — no Apple software required. Batch convert your entire camera roll at once. Original HEIC resolution and color depth are maintained.

Why Convert HEIC Images?

Open on Windows and Android

HEIC is Apple's default photo format, but it does not open natively on most Windows PCs or Android devices. Convert HEIC to JPG for instant compatibility across every operating system and browser.

Share Without Compatibility Errors

Email clients, messaging apps, and social platforms may reject HEIC uploads. Convert to JPG or PNG before sharing to avoid "unsupported format" errors and ensure recipients can open your photos.

Edit in Any Photo Software

Most photo editors (Photoshop, Lightroom, GIMP, Canva) have limited or no HEIC support. Convert HEIC to JPG or PNG to edit your iPhone photos in any application without plugin installations.

Upload to Web Platforms

Many website builders, CMS platforms, and e-commerce sites do not accept HEIC uploads. Convert to JPG for the smallest web-friendly file, or to PNG when you need transparency for product images.

Preserve EXIF and Quality

HEIC speichert Fotos in 50 % der Größe von JPG ohne sichtbaren Qualitätsverlust. Unser Konverter behält bei der Konvertierung in JPG oder PNG die volle Auflösung, GPS-Daten, Kameraeinstellungen und Farbprofile bei.

Keine Software erforderlich

Convert HEIC files directly in your browser — no Photoshop, no plugins, no downloads. Files up to 10 MB are always free, and converted files are deleted from our servers within 24 hours.

About the HEIC Format

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is a modern image format that Apple adopted as the default photo format starting with iOS 11 in 2017. It uses H.265/HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) compression to achieve dramatically smaller file sizes — typically 40-50% smaller than JPEG at equivalent visual quality. This efficiency allows smartphones to store significantly more photos without sacrificing the detail and colour accuracy users expect.

HEIC is primarily used within the Apple ecosystem for photos captured on iPhones and iPads. It supports advanced features including 10-bit colour depth, HDR imaging, and the ability to store multiple images (such as Live Photos or burst sequences) within a single file. The main drawback is limited compatibility outside of Apple devices — Windows requires an extension to view HEIC files, web browsers generally do not support it, and many image editors lack native HEIC support, making conversion to JPEG or PNG often necessary for sharing.
