How to convert iPhone HEIC photos to JPG

3 min read · Updated October 2026

iPhones save photos as HEIC. Windows PCs, many apps and most online forms can't open them. Here's the quick fix.

Convert them

  1. Open HEIC to JPG.
  2. Add one photo or many at once.
  3. Keep JPG selected and press Convert.
  4. Download each photo, or press Download all (ZIP).

Stop your iPhone saving HEIC

On the iPhone: Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible. New photos are then saved as JPG. When you share photos from the iPhone, they're also often converted automatically - but photos copied by cable usually stay HEIC.
