Open iPhone photos anywhere
iPhones save photos as HEIC to save storage space, but the format still trips up Windows, older Android phones, upload forms, and plenty of desktop software. Converting to JPG makes your photos work everywhere — and with ImagePilot it takes seconds, even for a whole camera roll at once.
The decoder runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly, so nothing is ever uploaded. That matters for personal photos: there is no server that could keep a copy, and no account or watermark either.
There's a privacy bonus, too. Because the JPG is rebuilt from raw pixels, every piece of hidden metadata in the original — GPS location, capture time, camera and device details — is stripped from the output. The converted photo shows exactly what you see and nothing more, so it's safe to share online without broadcasting where it was taken.
Live Photos and burst shots are handled gracefully: ImagePilot picks the primary still frame from multi-image HEIC containers, which is the photo you actually see in your library.
Frequently asked questions
What is a HEIC file?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the format iPhones and iPads have used by default since iOS 11. It stores photos at roughly half the size of JPG at the same quality, but many apps, websites, and Windows PCs still can't open it — which is why converting to JPG is so often needed.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. The HEIC decoder runs as WebAssembly inside your browser, so your photos never leave your device. Nothing is uploaded, logged, or stored anywhere.
Is the GPS location in my photos removed?
Yes. Conversion rebuilds the image from raw pixels, so all embedded metadata — including GPS coordinates, capture date, and device details — is stripped from the JPG. The converted photo is safe to share without revealing where it was taken.
What happens with Live Photos or burst shots?
HEIC containers can hold several images. ImagePilot converts the primary photo — the still frame you see in your camera roll — which is what virtually every use case needs.
Can I convert many HEIC files at once?
Yes. Drop a whole batch and the files are converted one after another, each with its own progress. When they're done you can download them individually or grab everything as a single ZIP file.
Will converting HEIC to JPG reduce quality?
JPG is a lossy format, but at the default 90% quality the difference is invisible for everyday photos. You can raise the slider to 100% for maximum fidelity or lower it for smaller files.
