HEIC Photo Won't Open? Convert HEIC to JPG on Android
Short answer: HEIC is the iPhone's default photo format. Many websites, forms and older PCs only accept JPG. Convert it on your phone: in Imgdeck tap HEIC → JPG, pick the photos, tap Process.
What HEIC is
HEIC (High Efficiency Image) stores a photo in about half the size of a JPG. iPhones use it by default, so photos shared by iPhone users often arrive as .heic files.
Why it gets rejected
Upload forms often check the file type and allow only JPG or PNG. Some Windows PCs need an extra codec to open HEIC at all.
Convert without uploading
Online converters upload your photos to a server. Imgdeck decodes HEIC on the phone and saves JPGs to Pictures/Imgdeck, with the correct orientation and without location data.
FAQ
Does converting lose quality?
Imgdeck saves high-quality JPGs (quality 92), visually the same for everyday use.
Why is the JPG bigger than the HEIC?
HEIC compresses better than JPG. If size matters, use Compress to KB afterwards.
Can I convert many at once?
Yes. Pick all the photos and process them in one batch.
