Why this matters
Apple switched iPhones to HEIC back in iOS 11. HEIC files are roughly half the size of JPGs at similar quality — great for phone storage, terrible for compatibility. Try emailing a HEIC to someone on Windows or uploading one to a form that only accepts JPG and you’ll hit a wall.
Most conversion tools ask you to upload your photos to their server. If those are personal photos, family pictures, or anything you wouldn’t hand to a stranger, that’s not ideal. fwip converts locally.
Frequently asked questions
Why are my iPhone photos HEIC instead of JPG? Apple uses HEIC by default since iOS 11 because it produces smaller files at the same quality. You can change this in Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible, but that doubles your storage usage.
Can I convert HEIC to JPG without installing an app? Yes. fwip runs in your browser — no download, no install, no account.
Does converting HEIC to JPG lose quality? Minimal. JPG at high quality is visually identical to the HEIC original for almost all photos.
Is it safe to convert HEIC files online? Most online converters upload your photos to their servers. fwip doesn’t. Conversion happens entirely on your device using WebAssembly.
Can I batch convert HEIC to JPG? Yes. Drag multiple files in at once in the browser. The desktop app handles entire folders.
