iPhone Photos Not Working?

You sent photos from your iPhone but the recipient says they can't open them. The files are HEIC format—Apple's default—and not everyone's device supports it.

Converting to JPG takes seconds and solves the problem completely. JPG is the universal photo format that works on every computer, phone, tablet, and website in existence.

How to Convert HEIC to JPG

  1. Upload your HEIC file – Drag and drop or tap to select
  2. Confirm JPG output – JPG is already selected as the most compatible option
  3. Download your photo – Done. Your photo is now universally compatible

That's it. No app to install, no account to create. Just convert and download.

Why This Happens

Since 2017, iPhones save photos as HEIC (High Efficiency Image Codec) instead of JPG. HEIC is technically better—smaller files, same quality—but the world hasn't fully caught up:

  • Windows – Many PCs can't open HEIC without extra software
  • Websites – Lots of upload forms reject HEIC files
  • Email – Recipients may see blank attachments
  • Older devices – Pre-2017 systems don't recognize HEIC

JPG has been the photo standard since 1992. Everything supports it.

Common Situations

Sharing Photos with Family

Grandma's Windows laptop won't open your photos? Convert to JPG and she can view them immediately.

Job Applications

Uploading a photo for an application and the form rejects HEIC? JPG is accepted everywhere.

Social Media

Some platforms still struggle with HEIC. JPG uploads without issues.

Printing

Photo printing services universally accept JPG. Don't risk rejection—convert first.

Quality Stays the Same

Your photos will look just as good after conversion. Both HEIC and JPG use similar compression. We convert at high quality to preserve all the detail from your original photo.

Convert Multiple Photos

Have a bunch of HEIC files from a trip or event? Upload them all at once. Convert your entire collection to JPG in one batch—no need to do them one by one.

Works Everywhere

Convert HEIC to JPG right in your browser:

  • Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebook
  • Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge
  • iPhone, iPad, Android

No downloads, no installations, no waiting.

Pro Tip

When sharing iPhone photos via AirDrop to another Apple device, they stay as HEIC. When sharing via email or messaging to non-Apple contacts, iOS can auto-convert to JPG. Check your sharing settings.

Common Mistake

Assuming everyone can open iPhone photos. Even tech-savvy Windows users may not have HEIC support. When in doubt, convert to JPG before sharing.

Best For

Any situation where you're sharing iPhone photos with non-Apple users, uploading to websites, or printing. JPG works universally.

Not Recommended

Don't bother converting if you're only using Apple devices. Mac, iPhone, and iPad all handle HEIC natively. Convert only for cross-platform sharing.
