Why iPhone photos need converting

Modern iPhones save photos as HEIC, which stores the same quality at about half the size of JPG, great for your phone, but many Windows apps, older devices, web upload forms, and messaging tools still don't support it, so the photo looks broken or won't upload. Converting to JPG produces a file that opens everywhere.

Tips

Full walkthrough: how to convert HEIC to JPG.

Is the HEIC to JPG tool private?

Yes. Your file is uploaded over encrypted HTTPS, processed, handed back, and then deleted — the upload goes the moment the HEIC to JPG operation finishes and the result the instant you download it, with an hourly sweeper as a backstop. Unlike closed tools that just claim they don't keep your files, Forge Files's code is fully open source, so you can verify exactly how the HEIC to JPG tool handles your data — or self-host it. No account, no watermark, no upsell. See our privacy details for the full picture.

Frequently asked questions

Why won't my HEIC photos open on Windows or Android?

HEIC has been Apple's default photo format since iOS 11. Many Windows PCs, Android phones, and websites can't read it without extra codecs. JPG works everywhere.

Will converting HEIC to JPG lose quality?

At the default 95% setting the difference is invisible in normal use. Lower the slider for smaller files.

Are my photos kept on your server?

No, they're deleted right after download, with an automatic sweep for anything left behind.
