What is a HEIC file?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the default photo format used by iPhones and iPads running iOS 11 and later. It uses the HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) standard and typically produces images 40–50% smaller than JPEGs at the same visual quality — which is why Apple adopted it to save storage space.
The problem: HEIC isn't supported by all apps, websites, and platforms. Windows, older Android devices, many social networks, and design tools either don't support HEIC at all, or require a codec to be installed. Converting to JPG ensures your photos open everywhere.
How to convert HEIC to JPG on a computer
On a modern desktop browser: Use PixlFits. Drop your .heic files, select JPG, and download. The conversion runs locally in the browser; very large or unusual HEIC files may need more memory.
On iPhone: In the Photos app, tap Share → Save to Files → the file saves as JPG automatically when you choose a non-HEIC destination. Or email it to yourself — it arrives as JPG.
On Mac: Open in Preview → File → Export → choose JPEG. Or use PixlFits in Safari for batch conversion.
Does converting HEIC to JPG reduce quality?
At 85–92% quality, the visual difference between HEIC and JPG is invisible to the human eye. The converted JPG file will be larger than the HEIC (because HEIC's compression is more efficient), but equally sharp. Use the quality slider in PixlFits to control the trade-off between file size and quality.
