📖What is this tool?

If you have an iPhone, you've likely encountered this problem: You transfer photos to your PC, but they won't open. Or you try to upload a photo to a government portal or university site, and it says 'Invalid File Format.' This happens because Apple uses a modern format called HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container). While efficient, it is not compatible with most Windows viewers or web forms. This tool converts your HEIC files to standard JPEG images that work everywhere.

This tool is part of ConvertPilot's collection of free utilities designed to make your workflow simple, fast, and secure. Whether you're a professional or casual user, you'll find it easy to use with no learning curve.

🚀How to use it

Make your iPhone photos compatible in 3 steps:

Select your HEIC Files

Click to upload or drag & drop your Apple HEIC images directly from your phone or computer.

Wait for Conversion

Our browser-based engine converts the file to JPEG instantly. We prioritize keeping the original photo quality.

Download JPEG

Save the new image. It will now open in any photo viewer, Photoshop, or online upload form.

✨Key benefits

There are many reasons to use HEIC to JPEG for your needs:

Fix 'File Not Supported' Errors

Instantly fix upload errors on government sites, visa applications, and job portals that only accept JPG/PNG.

View on Windows

View your memories on Windows 10/11 without buying the $0.99 HEIC extension from the Microsoft Store.

Batch Conversion

Convert multiple vacation photos at once to share with Android users or grandparents.

💡Pro tips

Check 'Live Photos'

If your HEIC is a 'Live Photo' (video + image), this tool extracts the high-quality still image frame.

JPEG vs JPG?

They are the exact same thing. .jpeg and .jpg are interchangeable. This tool produces standard .jpeg files.

📱Why does my iPhone use HEIC?

Apple switched to HEIC because it saves space. A HEIC photo is about 50% smaller than a JPEG with the same quality. It's great for your phone storage, but terrible for sharing with non-Apple devices.

🔒Are my personal photos safe?

Yes. Unlike other converters that upload your photos to a cloud server, ConvertPilot processes your HEIC files directly in your browser. Your personal photos never leave your device.
