iPhone photo library: HEIC to JPG
iPhone photos default to HEIC, which often won't open when transferred to a Windows computer or sent through certain websites or chat apps. Convert to JPG and almost any device can open it.

Common Use Cases
Three common format conversion needs, all handled by one tool
Whether it's a photo your phone won't open, or an upload flow stuck at a form's system requirements, converting the format is often the fastest fix.
Form / system upload format restrictions
Application forms and hiring systems often only accept JPG/PNG. Convert HEIC or other formats first for the best compatibility, avoiding a “format not supported” error during submission.
Speed up webpages and store listings with WebP
At the same quality level, WebP files are usually smaller than PNG/JPG. Batch-convert your store's main images or site graphics to WebP to noticeably cut page load times.
Supported Formats
Import common formats, export to JPG / PNG / WebP / BMP / TIFF / AVIF / SVG
Input covers the most common everyday photo and screenshot formats; output adds BMP, TIFF, AVIF, plus an “embedded bitmap” SVG (handy for certain design workflows, though it's not a true vector redraw) alongside the three universal formats.
| Format | Can Import | Can Export To | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| JPG / JPEG | Yes | Yes | The most common photo format, with the best compatibility |
| PNG | Yes | Yes | Supports transparency — great for screenshots, logos, and background-removed images |
| WebP | Yes | Yes | Smaller at the same quality — great for web pages and store listings |
| BMP | Yes | Yes | Windows bitmap — large file size, good compatibility |
| TIFF | Yes | Yes | Common in print/archival use; exported as uncompressed TIFF, which can be large |
| AVIF | Yes* | Yes* | High compression ratio; export depends on browser support for AVIF encoding |
| HEIC | Yes* | — | iPhone's default capture format, requiring browser or built-in decoder support |
| GIF | Yes (first frame only) | — | Animated GIFs are treated as a static image using only the first frame |
| SVG | — | Yes | Exported as an SVG wrapper containing an embedded PNG, not a true vector trace |
*Reading HEIC/AVIF and exporting AVIF depend on your browser's own capabilities. Safari handles HEIC reading well; newer Chrome/Edge versions usually support AVIF export. If conversion fails, try a different browser or export to JPG/PNG/WebP instead.
How to Choose
How does this compare to built-in tools, professional software, and other online converters
We don't need to convince you to use only this one tool, but these dimensions can help you decide which approach fits the image you're working on right now.
| Comparison | Image8K | Built-in OS Tools | Pro Software (PS/AI) | Other Conversion Sites |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Price | Free | Free | Paid subscription | Free / limited-use fees |
| Installation required | None — open in browser and go | Built-in, no extra install | Requires install, steeper learning curve | None |
| Image uploaded to a server | Local processing, never uploaded | Local processing | Local processing | Mostly requires upload |
| Batch convert multiple images | Yes, select multiple at once | Mostly not supported | Needs scripts or batch actions | A few support it |
| Input formats supported | 7 common formats | Varies by OS; HEIC/AVIF often unsupported | Fairly comprehensive | Varies by site |

How to Use
4 steps to convert an image's format
No software to install — everything happens right in the browser.
-
1
Upload images
Click to select or drag your images into the page — select multiple at once. Supports JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, AVIF, BMP, and GIF, up to 20MB each.
-
2
Choose the target format and quality
Choose the format to convert to (JPG, PNG, WebP, BMP, TIFF, AVIF, or SVG). JPG / WebP / AVIF let you drag a slider to adjust compression quality; PNG / BMP / TIFF / SVG are lossless or fixed-encoding, so no quality slider is shown.
-
3
Start converting
Click to start — the image is decoded and re-encoded locally in your browser, producing a result within seconds.
-
4
Download and save
Download individually or click download all to save every converted image at once.
Technical Notes
Two things worth knowing about local format conversion
01
Converted entirely in your browser
Using the browser's native image decoding and Canvas drawing capabilities, format conversion happens directly on your device — the whole process never touches a server, and both the original and converted images only exist in your device's memory.
02
Some formats' readability depends on your browser
Whether newer or platform-specific formats like HEIC and AVIF can be read properly depends on your browser's own decoding capability. Safari (the default browser on Mac/iPhone) has the best support — if conversion fails in another browser, switching to Safari should fix it.
FAQ
Common Questions About Format Conversion
Is the conversion done on my computer or phone, or does it get uploaded to a server?
It's done entirely in your current device's browser. Using the browser's built-in image decoding and Canvas drawing capabilities, a new format file is generated directly — your original image is never uploaded to any server.
Why does my HEIC or AVIF image show as unrecognized or fail to convert?
Whether HEIC or AVIF can be read properly depends on whether your current browser has the corresponding decoding capability. Safari (the default browser on Mac or iPhone) has the best compatibility — if conversion fails in Chrome, Firefox, or another browser, try switching to Safari, or export the photo as JPG first when sharing from your phone's photo library.
What's the maximum number of images I can convert at once — is there a limit?
There's no fixed limit — you can select multiple images for batch conversion at once. The actual number you can process is mainly limited by your device's memory and performance; we recommend keeping each image under 20MB.
What's the converted file named, and does it overwrite my original?
The result is a new file — the filename keeps the original name and only the extension changes (for example, photo.heic becomes photo.jpg after conversion). Downloading never modifies or overwrites the original file on your device.
Will converting the format lose my photo's capture data (EXIF)?
The conversion process generates a newly encoded image, so the original EXIF capture parameters, location data, and other metadata are not preserved. If you need to specifically keep or remove EXIF, use the “EXIF Viewer/Remover” tool separately.
Why is there no quality slider when I choose PNG as the target format?
Target formats like PNG, BMP, TIFF, and SVG aren't encoded by a “quality percentage” (PNG/BMP/TIFF use a fixed or lossless path, and SVG is an embedded bitmap wrapper), so no quality slider is shown. Only JPG, WebP, and AVIF are adjustable. If you want to further shrink a PNG's size, run it through “Compress Image” after conversion.
Is exporting to SVG a true vector image?
No. This tool's SVG export encodes the current image as a PNG and embeds it inside an SVG wrapper — convenient for some design or web workflows, but it doesn't trace the photo into vector paths. If you need transparency, export to PNG instead.
Why does AVIF export fail?
AVIF encoding depends on native browser support. Newer Chrome and Edge versions can usually export it; some Firefox/Safari versions may not support it. If it fails, switch to WebP or JPG for better reliability and compatibility.
