Why TapCrop?

Instant HEIC to JPG Conversion

Convert HEIC photos from your iPhone to universally compatible JPG format. One click to make your Apple photos viewable and shareable on any device or platform.

Convert multiple HEIC files together within your active plan batch limit.

Preserve Photo Quality

HEIC files are converted to high-quality JPEG on import. JPEG is lossy, so the conversion is not mathematically lossless.

Completely Private

All HEIC to JPG conversion happens in your browser. Your iPhone photos are never uploaded to any server — your personal images stay on your device.

TapCrop converts HEIC and HEIF photos to high-quality JPEG locally in the browser. JPEG encoding is lossy, and batch size follows the active plan.

Click convert and your HEIC images are instantly transformed to high-quality JPG format, ready for universal use.

3

Download JPG Photos

Download your converted JPG files individually or as a batch. Share them anywhere — email, social media, or any website.

What Is HEIC and Why Does iPhone Use It?

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is a modern image format that Apple adopted as the default for iPhones starting with iOS 11. It uses the HEVC (H.265) codec to compress images about 50% smaller than equivalent JPEG files while maintaining the same visual quality. This saves significant storage space on your phone. However, HEIC is not universally supported — Windows, Android, many websites, and older software cannot open HEIC files without special codecs.

How to Stop iPhone from Taking HEIC Photos

If you prefer JPG natively, go to Settings > Camera > Formats and select "Most Compatible". This switches your iPhone to save photos as JPG instead of HEIC. Note that JPG files are larger, so you will use more storage space. Alternatively, keep shooting in HEIC for storage efficiency and use TapCrop to convert to JPG only when you need to share with non-Apple users or upload to platforms that require JPG.

HEIC to JPG Without Losing Quality

When converting HEIC to JPG, some quality loss is inherent because you are going from a more efficient codec to JPEG compression. However, at quality settings of 90-95%, the difference is virtually invisible to the human eye. TapCrop converts at 92% quality by default, which produces JPG files that look identical to the HEIC originals while being universally compatible.
