iPhones have shot HEIF by default since iOS 11. It is a brilliant format — but the rest of the world has not caught up yet.
Since iOS 11, every iPhone captures photos in HEIF. It stores richer colour in a smaller file — great for your camera roll, invisible problem until you try to share it.
Every app, OS, and website accepts JPG. Email clients, Windows, Android, every social platform — converting gives you a file that just works, no matter where it lands.
Social platforms re-encode whatever you upload. Upload a raw HEIF and they compress it twice. imgora converts first so the platform’s re-encode is the only lossy round.
Choose your quality level, then drag any .heif or .heic photo straight from your iPhone or AirDrop folder.
imgora immediately decodes the HEIC and re-encodes it as a full-resolution JPG at your chosen quality — no button needed.
Hit the Download button — a ready-to-use JPG saves to your device instantly.
Pick where you’re sharing and imgora sizes, compresses, and colour-tunes the JPG to exactly what that platform wants.
HEIF stores more colour data in a smaller file — it is more efficient. But JPG at 80%+ quality is visually indistinguishable and opens in every app, OS, and website on earth. For sharing, JPG wins on compatibility.
Any lossy re-encode involves some loss. At q80 or higher it is invisible to the eye. The bigger risk is double-compression: if you upload a full-res HEIF and let Instagram re-encode it, you lose quality twice. imgora pre-tunes the JPG so the platform's compression is the only round.
Each platform has its own target dimensions and compression algorithm. Instagram crops to 1080 × 1080 at its own quality. WhatsApp targets 1600 × 1200. Sending exactly what each platform expects means you control the one round of compression — not them.
Yes. Drop a whole folder of HEIFs onto the converter and you get a JPG for each one. Download them individually.
No. imgora decodes and re-encodes everything in your browser using built-in image APIs. Nothing is sent to a server. You can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and conversion still works.
.heic is Apple's container for a single HEIF image. .heif is the broader standard. They are the same format — imgora converts both.
