How to convert a HEIC photo
- Add a HEIC or HEIF file.
- Choose JPG or PNG as the output format.
- Select Convert photo.
- Download the result.
How this works
Your browser decodes the HEIC/HEIF image using a real HEIF decoder running entirely client-side, then re-encodes it as a genuine JPG or PNG file — no photo is uploaded, and no server-side processing is involved.
Why HEIC photos need converting
iPhones save photos in HEIC format by default, which many older apps, Windows programs, and websites can't open directly. Converting to JPG or PNG makes the photo openable everywhere.
Common use cases
- Convert an iPhone photo (HEIC) to JPG so it opens everywhere
- Convert HEIC photos to PNG for editing in an app that doesn't support HEIC
- View or share an iPhone photo on a device that can't open HEIC files
Frequently asked questions
Is this HEIC converter free?
Yes. It is completely free, with no signup and no limits.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. Conversion happens entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to Inqita or stored.
What's the difference between JPG and PNG output?
JPG is smaller and best for photos; PNG is lossless and larger, useful if you need to preserve every detail or plan to edit the image further.
Does this work with Live Photos?
This converts the still HEIC image. For the paired video portion of a Live Photo, see the separate Apple Live Photo Pair Diagnostic Tool.
