Understanding HEIC
iPhone's Default Format
iPhones have saved photos as HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) by default since iOS 11, roughly half the file size of an equivalent JPG.
Limited Compatibility
Many websites, Windows apps, and older software still can't open HEIC directly, which is why converting to JPG is often necessary.
Browser Support Varies
Safari can decode HEIC natively because Apple built OS-level support into it. Chrome and Firefox have no built-in HEIC decoder, so this tool can't convert HEIC files in those browsers.
Local Processing
When it works, conversion happens entirely on-device using the browser's Canvas API — your photo is never uploaded anywhere.
If Conversion Doesn't Work
If your browser can't decode the file, the most reliable fix is to change the export format on your iPhone itself: open the photo in the Photos app, tap Share, then choose "Options" and select JPG before sharing or saving — or switch your camera's format setting from Settings → Camera → Formats to "Most Compatible" going forward.
Key Takeaways
- Works Best in Safari: Safari's native HEIC support makes it the most reliable browser for this tool.
- JPG or PNG Output: Choose PNG if the photo needs transparency or lossless quality; JPG for a smaller, universally compatible file.
- Client-Side Only: Your photo is never uploaded to a server.
