Question 1

How do I convert a HEIC photo to JPG?

Accepted Answer

Upload the HEIC or HEIF file from your iPhone, adjust the quality slider if you like, then click Download once it finishes converting.

Question 2

Why can't I see a preview of the original HEIC file?

Accepted Answer

Browsers can't display HEIC photos at all - that's exactly why this tool exists. You'll see the file name and size, then a live preview of the converted JPG once it's ready.

Question 3

Is my photo uploaded anywhere?

Accepted Answer

No. The HEIC file is decoded and converted entirely on your device using a WebAssembly build of libheif - nothing is sent to a server.

Question 4

Why does converting take a moment?

Accepted Answer

HEIC decoding is more work than PNG/JPG/WebP, since browsers have no native support for it - the WASM decoder has to do the whole job itself. Larger photos take a little longer.
