HEIC is the default iPhone photo format (iOS 11 and above) using HEVC compression. Files are about half the size of JPG at the same quality, but often cannot be opened on Windows, Android, and older apps. However, HEIC isn't always ideal, especially when you need JPG.
JPG brings the advantage: The most universal format, opens everywhere, small size for photos.
With FORMATTO, you can convert HEIC to JPG in seconds. Everything runs 100% on your device: files are never uploaded to any server, so your privacy is guaranteed. Did you know? According to Apple, HEIC typically takes about half the storage of a JPG at the same quality; that is why iPhones use it by default.

Frequently asked questions
How to convert HEIC to JPG?
Just drag your HEIC files to the converter box above, pick your settings, then click convert. The JPG result is ready to download, all processed on your device.
Is FORMATTO really free?
Yes, 100% free with unlimited conversions. Because everything runs in your browser, we have no per-conversion server cost, so it stays free forever.
Are my HEIC files safe?
Very safe. Your files are processed directly on your device and never uploaded to a server. When the page is closed, no trace remains.
How many files can I convert at once?
You can process many files at once (batch). Download them individually or as a single ZIP.
Why can't I open my HEIC photos?
HEIC is only supported within Apple's ecosystem. Windows, Android, and most web apps don't understand it. Converting HEIC to JPG/PNG solves this.
Are HEIC and HEIF the same?
HEIF is the container name, while HEIC is the extension Apple uses for photos. Our converter supports both.
Does converting HEIC lose my EXIF data?
Browser-based decoders generally preserve core metadata when reading the image; because FORMATTO processes photos entirely on your device, your EXIF data is never uploaded to any server.
Can I convert many HEIC photos at once?
Yes. Drag multiple HEIC files into the conversion area at once; everything runs on your device with no server queue, so speed is limited only by your own hardware.
