How to use it
- Choose your HEIC photos, or drop them on the box above. Several at once is fine.
- Each one becomes a JPG as soon as it’s in. Choose Smaller file first if you’re going to email them.
- Click Download beside each one, or Download all.
On a Mac, there are other ways too: how to do it with what’s built into macOS.
Questions
Is it safe to convert my photos here?
Yes. The converting is done by your browser, on your computer. The photos aren’t sent to tilora.io or anywhere else, and nothing is kept once you close the page.
Why are my iPhone photos HEIC?
iPhone saves photos as HEIC because it takes about half the space of JPG for the same picture. Some apps and websites still only take JPG, which is when you need to convert.
Can I stop my iPhone taking HEIC photos?
Yes. On iPhone, open Settings, then Camera, then Formats, and choose Most Compatible. New photos are then JPGs; the ones you already have stay HEIC.
Does the JPG lose quality?
Best keeps it as close to the original as a JPG can. Smaller file saves space, with a difference you’d need to look hard to see.
Is there a limit?
No limit on how many, and no watermark. Each photo keeps all its pixels, unless it has more than the browser can hold, as a 48-megapixel photo does on an iPhone. Then it’s made 16 megapixels.
Does it work on Windows or an iPhone?
Yes, in any recent browser. Safari reads HEIC itself; other browsers first fetch a HEIC reader from tilora.io, about 1.3 MB.
