Why iPhone photos won't open
Since iOS 11, iPhones save photos as HEIC files by default. The format is great for storage — about half the size of JPG at the same quality — but it does not work with many Windows apps, older email clients, government portals, or older web forms. When someone says "your photo will not open" or asks for "a regular JPG", they mean: convert it.
Fileoholic's HEIC converter does this fully in your browser. The HEIC decoder is a small WebAssembly module that runs locally on your device. Your photos do not get uploaded to any server, do not get scanned for metadata, and do not leave your phone or computer.
Your files never leave your browser.
All processing runs locally on your device. No uploads, no tracking of file content.
FAQ
What is a HEIC file?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the default photo format on iPhones since iOS 11. It saves space but is not supported by older Windows apps, web forms, or social media uploads. Converting to JPG fixes this.
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. The HEIC decoder runs in your browser using WebAssembly. Photos are never sent to a server.
Why is the first conversion slow?
The HEIC decoder is a small WebAssembly module that loads on first use. After that, conversions are fast.
What is the maximum file size?
25 MB per file. HEIC decoding uses more memory than JPG, so mobile browsers can struggle with bigger photos.
Can I convert multiple HEIC files at once?
Yes. Drop several at once and each is converted and downloaded in turn.
Does the conversion lose quality?
JPG output uses lossy compression (default quality 90 is visually identical to most viewers). Pick PNG for fully lossless output if quality matters.
