What is HEIC?
HEIC is Apple's default photo format on iPhones (since iOS 11). It saves storage space compared to JPG, but most Windows apps, email clients, and websites can't open HEIC files. Converting to JPG makes your iPhone photos work everywhere — on any device, in any app, without special software.

Frequently Asked Questions
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's default photo format used on iPhones since iOS 11. While it compresses photos better than JPG, it's not widely supported outside Apple's ecosystem. Windows, most Android apps, many websites, and older software can't open HEIC files without special codecs. Converting to JPG ensures your photos open anywhere.
There is some quality loss since JPG uses lossy compression, but SwapHEIC uses a high quality setting (85%) that makes the difference invisible in everyday photos. For archival purposes or further editing, consider converting to PNG instead, which is lossless.
No. SwapHEIC runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript — there is no server involved. Your photos are read from your device, converted locally using browser APIs, and the result is offered as a download. Nothing ever leaves your device. We have no servers to store your files even if we wanted to.
Yes. You can drop multiple HEIC files onto the upload area at once, or select multiple files from the file picker. SwapHEIC supports up to 50 files per session (subject to your device's available memory). Click "Convert All" to process them in one go, then "Download All" to get a ZIP file of the results.
Yes, SwapHEIC works in Safari on iPhone and iPad. However, iOS Safari shares files differently — when you tap "select files," your photo library will open. Note that iOS often automatically converts HEIC to JPG when you share photos through the standard share sheet, so you may not even need a converter if you're sharing via AirDrop or Messages.
