Question 1

Why won't my iPhone HEIC photos open on Windows?

Accepted Answer

HEIC is Apple's format and isn't supported everywhere. Converting to JPG makes the photo open on any device, browser or app.

Question 2

Will the quality drop?

Accepted Answer

The photo is decoded at full quality and saved as a high-quality JPG. JPG is a compressed format, so there's a tiny, usually invisible, quality trade-off.

Question 3

Are my photos uploaded?

Accepted Answer

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser — your photos never leave your device.
