About HEIC

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) stores photos at about half the size of JPEG, which is why iPhones use it. The converter reads the photo in your browser and saves a standard JPG or PNG.

Most single photos convert without trouble. Live Photos, bursts and some HDR images can fail; if that happens, export the photo from the Photos app as JPEG, or set your iPhone to Settings › Camera › Formats › Most Compatible to take JPGs in future.

Frequently asked questions

Is my photo uploaded?

No. The HEIC file is decoded in your browser.

Why did my HEIC fail to convert?

Live Photos, burst shots and some HDR images use HEIC features the converter cannot read. Export the photo as JPEG from the Photos app instead.

How do I stop my iPhone saving HEIC?

Go to Settings › Camera › Formats and choose Most Compatible.
