iPhones save photos in HEIC by default — a format that saves space but doesn't open everywhere. This tool decodes a HEIC or HEIF file and re-exports it as a standard JPG that works on any device or website, entirely in your browser.

Frequently asked questions
HEIC is Apple's default photo format since iOS 11 — it compresses better than JPG at the same quality, but far fewer apps and websites support opening it directly.
