Convert HEIC to JPG

To convert HEIC to JPG: upload your iPhone photo and Sevio turns it into a JPG that opens on any device. HEIC is Apple’s format built on the HEVC codec — about half the size of JPEG, but it won’t open on many Windows PCs, Android devices and websites. No sign-up, files are deleted automatically after conversion.

Upload up to 20 images at once with a total size up to 30 MB, completely free and without signing up. Create an account or to convert up to 30 images with a total size up to 50 MB.

What HEIC is and why it won’t open

HEIC is a container built on the HEVC (H.265) codec that iPhone has used by default since iOS 11 (2017). At the same quality the file comes out roughly half the size of a JPEG — which is why Apple picked it to save storage.

The downside: out of the box HEIC won’t open on many Windows PCs and some Android devices, and many websites and upload forms reject it. The fastest fix is converting the shot to universal JPG.

Why iPhone shoots HEIC and how to switch to JPEG

iPhone picks HEIC to save space: photos take roughly half the storage. If you want compatible shots right away, open Settings → Camera → Formats and choose “Most Compatible” — the camera will start saving photos as JPEG. For HEIC files you already have, converting online is the simplest path.

Frequently asked questions

HEIF is the container standard (ISO/IEC 23008-12). HEIC is Apple’s implementation using the HEVC codec. By analogy: HEIF is the container, HEVC is the codec inside.
JPG is a lossy format, but at high quality the difference from the original is visually unnoticeable. The resulting file may be larger than the source HEIC.
Basic EXIF metadata is generally preserved during conversion. If privacy matters, metadata can be stripped separately.
