Windows won't open your iPhone's HEIC photos?

iPhones save photos as HEIC by default. Windows Photos can sometimes open them after you install a codec from the Microsoft Store — but if that's not working, or you just want a JPG you can actually share and edit anywhere, converting is the simpler fix.

The quick fix

Open the converter above, drop in your HEIC files, and it turns them into JPG right in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server. Download the result and it opens anywhere: Windows, old phones, email attachments, whatever you were trying to do in the first place.

Common questions

Why does my iPhone even use HEIC?It's a newer, smaller file format Apple switched to by default. It saves storage space, but a lot of non-Apple software doesn't support it yet.

Can I make my iPhone save as JPG instead, so this doesn't keep happening?Yes — on iPhone go to Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible. New photos will save as JPG from then on.

Will converting lose quality?No — it's a direct re-encode of the same image data, not a re-compression.
