## About

Modern iPhones store photos as HEIC (HEIF) files, which save space but are awkward to share — many websites, email services, and older software can’t open them. This converter re-encodes your HEIC photo as a standard JPG so it works anywhere.

Conversion runs locally in your browser using a WebAssembly build of the libheif decoder, so your photos never leave your device — ideal for personal or sensitive pictures.

## How to use

1. **Choose a HEIC photo** — Files with the .heic or .heif extension, straight from your phone.
2. **Set the quality** — Lower quality means a smaller file; 85% is a good default.
3. **Download the JPG** — The converted image is ready instantly, with the original previewed alongside.

## Examples

### iPhone photo to universal format

A 3 MB HEIC photo becomes a standard JPG that any site or app can open.

Input:

```
IMG_1234.HEIC (3.1 MB)
```

Output:

```
IMG_1234.jpg (≈0.9 MB)
```

## FAQ

### Why can’t I open my iPhone photos?

Many services don’t support the HEIC format. Converting to JPG gives you a universally compatible file with a much smaller footprint.

### Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No. The HEIC decoder runs as WebAssembly inside your browser tab. Your photo never leaves your device.

### Which browsers are supported?

Any modern browser that supports WebAssembly — Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari all work.
