Since iOS 11, iPhones save photos as HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) by default. It is technically excellent — roughly half the file size of JPG at similar quality, with support for 16-bit color and live-photo sequences. The problem is compatibility: plenty of Windows programs, older Android devices, web upload forms, and office software still refuse HEIC files or show them as broken images.
Converting to JPG solves it instantly because JPG opens literally everywhere. You keep the HEIC originals on your phone and use the JPG copies wherever compatibility matters.

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the photo format iPhones have used by default since iOS 11. It stores high-quality images in about half the file size of JPG, but many Windows apps, older Android phones, and websites cannot open it.
JPG opens everywhere — Windows, Android, email, social media, office software, and web uploads. If a site or app rejects your iPhone photo, converting it to JPG is the fix.
At 90%+ JPG quality the difference is invisible in normal viewing. JPG is a lossy format, so pick PNG output if you need pixel-perfect, lossless results (larger files).
Yes. Conversion happens entirely in your browser. Your photos are never uploaded to any server.
Yes. Add as many HEIC files as you like, convert them all, then download each one or everything together as a ZIP.
The most common cause is a file that is not actually HEIC despite its extension, or a corrupted transfer from the phone. Try re-copying the file from your iPhone. Very large panoramas can also run out of browser memory on phones.
Yes. Open this page in Safari or Chrome on your iPhone, pick HEIC photos from your library, and download the JPG versions.
