Heic Converter

iPhone cameras save photos as HEIC, a format most Windows machines, email clients and web upload forms still refuse. This page reads the HEIC and writes it back out as JPG, PNG, WebP, BMP, TIFF or PDF, so the file that leaves this page is one the receiving system recognises. Depth and orientation are preserved on the way out, which is where HEIC conversions usually go wrong.

Frequently Asked Questions about HEIC Conversion

Can Windows or an Android app open an HEIC file?

Often not without an extra codec, which is why the conversion is worth doing before you send the file rather than after it fails to open.

Does converting HEIC to JPG lose quality?

It re-encodes, so a little detail is lost at each step. Pick the higher quality setting if the photo will be printed or cropped later, and keep the original HEIC.

What happens to Live Photos and burst shots?

Only the still image is converted. The short video that accompanies a Live Photo is not carried into the output.

Will my original file be changed?

The result is downloaded as a separate file. Keep your original until you have checked the JPG, PNG, WebP, BMP, TIFF or PDF.

What should I check before using the result?

Open the JPG, PNG, WebP, BMP, TIFF or PDF in the application that consumes it and spot-check the parts that matter to you; the original file stays untouched if you need to re-run with different options.

Is Heic Converter free?
