Questions

Frequently asked questions

Why does my iPhone save photos as HEIC instead of JPG?

HEIC stores the same photo in half the space of a JPG. To switch your iPhone camera back, go to Settings > Camera > Formats and choose Most Compatible. Existing photos remain HEIC until converted.

Does converting HEIC to JPG lose quality?

JPG is a lossy format. At the default 92% setting, the quality difference is not visible on screen or in print. Choose 100% for maximum fidelity, or lower values when file size is more important.

Is there a file size or batch limit?

No. Add files of any size, in any number — everything is processed on your device, so the only ceiling is the memory available to your browser. On a phone, batches of a few hundred photos are normal; on a laptop, far more.

Are my photos uploaded anywhere?

No. Your browser opens the HEIC and writes the JPG right on your device, so there is nothing to wait for and nothing stored anywhere. Switch off your connection after the page loads and it still works.

Why does the same HEIC file open in Safari but fail in Chrome?

Safari opens HEIC natively. On Chrome, Edge and Firefox, this page uses a small decoder. If a file fails, it may be a burst sequence or a 10-bit HEIF variant the decoder does not yet support.

Background

Why HEIC exists, and why JPG still wins for sharing

Drop a whole camera roll. Every photo is decoded and re-encoded on your own device, then downloaded one at a time or as a single ZIP. Windows and Chrome cannot open HEIC without extra software; JPG opens everywhere.

  • HEIC uses the HEVC codec, storing more detail than JPG. It supports 16-bit colour, Live Photos and depth maps in one file.
  • Outside Apple’s ecosystem, HEIC has poor support. Chrome, Windows and older Android phones often cannot open it. JPG is readable by nearly every device.
