The iPhone-to-everywhere fix

iPhones shoot HEIC because it halves storage at equal quality — but Windows needs paid codecs to open it and many sites reject it outright. Converting to JPG spends a little file size to make the photo open absolutely anywhere, which is usually exactly the trade you came for.

Property	HEIC	JPG
Storage efficiency	Excellent	Good
Opens on Windows out-of-box	No	Yes
Web upload forms	Often rejected	Accepted
Live Photo video part	Stored separately	Still frame only
Stop shooting HEIC	Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible	—

Typical jobs people use this for

Sending iPhone photos to a Windows-using colleague
Uploading phone photos to a portal that rejects HEIC
Preparing iPhone shots for an online photo printer

When this is the wrong tool

If every photo you take needs converting, change the phone setting instead — Most Compatible makes the camera shoot JPG directly. And expect only the still frame from a Live Photo; the motion part isn't a JPG thing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do my iPhone photos not open on Windows?

iPhones save photos as HEIC by default, a format Apple adopted for its efficiency. Windows and many websites either need an add-on to read it or reject it outright, which is why HEIC files so often arrive unopenable.

Will the JPG be noticeably worse?

Not in normal viewing. HEIC is more efficient, so the JPG will be a larger file at equivalent quality, but the visible difference is minimal. You trade some file size for the ability to open the photo anywhere.

Can I stop my iPhone producing HEIC in the first place?

Yes — in Settings under Camera, then Formats, choosing 'Most Compatible' makes the phone record JPG directly. Worth doing if you regularly move photos to a Windows machine.

What happens to Live Photos?

Only the still frame converts. The short video component of a Live Photo is stored separately and is not carried into a JPG, which holds a single static image.

Do my iPhone photos get uploaded to convert them?

No. Conversion runs in your browser, so personal photos stay on your own device.
