Question 1

Why do my iPhone photos need converting in the first place?

Accepted Answer

iPhones save photos in HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) by default to save storage space. Many websites, Windows apps, and older software don't support HEIC, so converting to JPG or PNG makes the photo universally viewable.

Question 2

Does converting to JPG reduce photo quality?

Accepted Answer

There's a small amount of quality loss since JPG uses lossy compression, but at high quality settings it's not visually noticeable. Convert to PNG instead if you need a lossless result.

Question 3

Can I convert multiple HEIC photos at once?

Accepted Answer

This tool converts one photo at a time to keep memory usage predictable in the browser. For a batch of photos, convert them one after another.

Question 4

Why did conversion fail with an error?

Accepted Answer

This usually means the file isn't actually a valid HEIC/HEIF image (or it's corrupted). Some "Live Photos" also bundle a video component that this tool doesn't process — only the still image.

Question 5

Is my photo uploaded to a server?

Accepted Answer

No. Conversion happens entirely in your browser using a WebAssembly HEIC decoder — your photo never leaves your device.
