Convert iPhone and Apple device photos to universally compatible JPG — free, online, and with all original EXIF metadata preserved.
Drag and drop your photo or click to browse. Files up to 50 MB are supported.
Pillow converts the pixels to JPEG at 95% quality. ExifTool then copies all EXIF, GPS, and XMP tags from the original.
Your browser downloads the converted file automatically. The JPG opens in any app, website, or device.
Most online HEIC converters strip all metadata during conversion — you get a JPG but lose GPS location, camera model, aperture, shutter speed, and the original capture timestamp. This tool uses ExifTool to clone every tag from the source HEIC into the output JPG after the pixel conversion, so nothing is lost.
| Metadata Tag | This Tool | Typical Online Converters |
|---|---|---|
| GPS Coordinates | ✓ Preserved | ✗ Stripped |
| Camera Make & Model | ✓ Preserved | ✗ Stripped |
| Capture Date & Time | ✓ Preserved | Often lost |
| Aperture / Shutter / ISO | ✓ Preserved | ✗ Stripped |
| Lens Info | ✓ Preserved | ✗ Stripped |
| XMP / IPTC Tags | ✓ Preserved | ✗ Stripped |
Not with this tool. After converting the pixels, we run ExifTool with -tagsFromFile to clone all EXIF, IPTC, and XMP tags — including GPS coordinates, camera model, lens info, and capture time — from the original HEIC into the new JPG.
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) uses the HEVC codec to store photos in roughly half the file size of JPEG at equivalent quality. It is the default format on Apple devices since iOS 11. However, many non-Apple platforms, older software, and websites do not support HEIC, which is why converting to JPG is necessary for broad compatibility.
JPG is inherently a lossy format, but we use 95% quality which is visually indistinguishable from the original for typical photography. The key advantage is that all metadata is preserved without any loss.
Yes. Files are processed on our server and automatically deleted after 1 hour. They are never shared with third parties or used for training.
Yes. HEIF is the container format and HEIC is the Apple-specific extension. Both .heic and .heif files are accepted and converted identically.
