About this tool
A completely free tool for converting HEIC images to a different format: JPEG, PNG, WebP. The input format is not offered as an output. Size limits, resizing, cropping, presets and ZIP downloads are free, and images stay on your device.
How to use
- Choose up to 20 HEIC images.
- Choose a different output format. You can also set a size limit, crop or use a preset.
- Press Convert and check the size, dimensions and appearance.
- Save individually or as a ZIP before selecting new images.
Choosing settings
Choose for the destination
Choose JPEG, PNG or WebP according to the destination's accepted formats. Set a file size limit if necessary and check the results.
Crop and save together
Preview the crop using the first photo. Save converted images individually or as a ZIP. Check each result: ZIP also includes files that missed the size limit.
Troubleshooting
I can't select the file
Select HEIC or HEIF photos. Your iPhone settings or sharing method may already have produced a JPEG, which you can use without converting.
Conversion fails or takes a long time
Download cloud-only photos to your device first. Try 1–3 photos and close other apps. Resizing still requires decoding the original HEIC, so large photos can take time and memory.
Where is the save button? What if ZIP won't open?
A save button for the selected output appears below each successful photo. ZIP download becomes available after the batch finishes. Save individual JPEGs if your device cannot open ZIP files. Failed photos are not included in the ZIP.
Conversion stopped at 100 MB or results disappeared
Conversion stops before retained images exceed 100 MB. Save completed results before converting the remaining photos. Selecting new files, clearing results or reloading removes the results. Clear results to release retained photo data.
