Convert iPhone HEIC photos to universally-compatible JPG- free, instant, no upload.
Open HEIC ConverterHEIC is Apple's default photo format since iOS 11. It offers excellent compression but most Windows PCs, websites, and apps cannot open it natively. Converting HEIC to JPG makes your photos work everywhere- from email attachments to social media uploads- without any software installs on the recipient's side.
Converting HEIC to JPG involves recompression. At quality 80–90 the visual difference is invisible to the human eye, and the resulting file is typically 40–60 % smaller than the original HEIC.
| Format | File Size | Quality | Compatibility | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HEIC | Small | High (HEVC codec) | Apple only | iPhone/iPad native storage |
| JPG | Small–Medium | High (lossy) | Universal | Web, email, social media, print |
| PNG | Large | Lossless | Universal | Graphics, logos, screenshots |
| WebP | Smallest | High (lossy or lossless) | Modern browsers | Web performance |

Does converting HEIC to JPG lose quality?
There is a small quality tradeoff because HEIC uses HEVC compression while JPG uses JPEG compression. At quality 85 the difference is invisible in photos. omnikitbolt defaults to quality 85 and lets you raise it to 100 for maximum fidelity.

Can I convert multiple HEIC files at once?
Yes. omnikitbolt supports batch conversion. Drop up to 20 files at once (free plan) and download all results as a ZIP.
Why does my iPhone shoot in HEIC instead of JPG?
Apple switched to HEIC in iOS 11 because it stores the same image quality at roughly half the file size of JPG, saving storage on your device. The trade-off is compatibility with non-Apple software.
