Why does my iPhone use HEIC?

Apple switched to HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) as the default iPhone camera format starting with iOS 11 in 2017. The reason is simple: HEIC files are roughly half the size of a JPEG at the same visual quality. For a phone that takes thousands of photos, that storage saving matters.

The problem is compatibility. Windows, Android, most websites, social platforms, and design tools don't natively open HEIC files. When you try to send an iPhone photo to a non-Apple user, they often can't open it. When you upload it to a service, it gets rejected. When you try to use it in Photoshop without the right plugins — nothing.

The solution depends on your use case: HEIC to JPG for maximum compatibility and sharing. HEIC to PNG for lossless quality when editing. HEIC to WebP for web use where you want modern compression. HEIC to PDF for document workflows.

Common questions

Why can't I open HEIC files on my PC or Android?
HEIC is Apple's default photo format since iOS 11. It's half the size of JPEG at equivalent quality, but Windows and Android don't support it natively without extra codecs. Converting to JPG or PNG makes the photo universally openable.
Does converting HEIC to JPG lose quality?
At high quality settings (85–95%), the difference is invisible. HEIC to JPG does introduce some JPEG compression, but the output looks identical on screen. For pixel-perfect preservation, convert to PNG instead — it's lossless.
How do I get HEIC files off my iPhone?
AirDrop the photo to a Mac, or use a cable to transfer to Windows, or share via iCloud. Then drop the .heic file here to convert it. Alternatively, set your iPhone camera to shoot in 'Most Compatible' mode (Settings → Camera → Formats) to get JPG directly.
Can I convert multiple HEIC files at once?
Yes. Drop up to 5 HEIC files at once on the free tier (unlimited on Pro). All files convert in parallel — you'll get a ZIP with all the converted images.
