What it is.
HEIC is the format iPhones have used for photos since iOS 11. It keeps the same quality as JPG in about half the file size, so your photos take less storage.

What your photo says about you
Every iPhone photo carries hidden details, and anyone who gets the file can read them. Here's an example of what's inside and what's left after cleaning.

Why your iPhone saves HEIC
Why it breaks.
Many places still expect JPG. Windows often needs an extra extension to open HEIC, and many websites and upload forms reject it.
The fix.
Convert to JPG when you need to share or upload. Your originals stay as they are.
Privacy by design
- No server-side uploads — conversion runs in Web Workers on your device.
- No analytics on file contents. No account required.
- Prove it: load a tool, turn off Wi‑Fi, and convert anyway.
