Why convert HEIC to JPG?

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the format every iPhone has used by default since iOS 11 in 2017. It wraps HEVC-compressed image data — the same codec family as modern video — and delivers photos at roughly half the file size of a same-quality JPEG. Apple adopted it to save storage; the rest of the world hasn't fully caught up.

That's the daily friction: HEIC attachments open wrong (or not at all) on many Windows machines, older Android devices, CMS platforms, ecommerce back-ends and printing services. If you've ever emailed a photo from an iPhone and been asked to resend it as a JPG, you've met the problem.

ShiftRaw converts HEIC to JPG in your browser. The decoder is compiled to WebAssembly, works on any device — including the iPhone itself — and your photos are never uploaded.

Best for: JPG is the universal choice: every device, browser, app and platform displays it, and at 90%+ quality the compression is invisible. A 45-megapixel RAW frame converts to a 5–10 MB JPG that uploads anywhere. For web and client delivery it remains the sensible default — start here unless you specifically need transparency (PNG) or the smallest possible files (WebP).

Frequently asked questions

Why do my iPhone photos end up as HEIC?
Since iOS 11, Apple saves camera photos as HEIC by default to halve storage use. Settings › Camera › Formats has a 'Most Compatible' option that switches back to JPG — but converting here is easier than re-shooting and keeps the smaller originals.
Will converting HEIC to JPG make the file bigger?
Usually yes, somewhat — HEIC is the more efficient codec, so a maximum-quality JPG export lands at 1.5–2.5× the HEIC size. In exchange you get a file that opens instantly on every device, platform and browser made in the last 30 years.
Does HEIC to JPG lose quality?
Both formats are lossy, so there is a generational loss, but at 92% quality it is visually imperceptible. For a pixel-perfect copy choose PNG instead, which is lossless (and correspondingly larger).
Do Live Photos survive the conversion?
No — a Live Photo is a HEIC still plus a short video file, and converting extracts only the still image. That's true of every HEIC-to-JPG converter; the video component needs a separate export.
JPG or PNG — which should I choose?
JPG for photos: smaller files, universally supported, visually lossless at high quality. PNG for graphics that need transparency, screenshots, or when you must not lose a single pixel. For photographic work, JPG at 92% is the right call 95% of the time.
Is there a file size or batch limit?
No hard limits. Files are processed one by one entirely on your device, so the practical ceiling is your machine's memory - a 100 MP medium-format RAW decodes comfortably on any modern computer. Large batches simply queue and run sequentially.
