Convert HEIC photos so upload forms accept them
Visa portals, school forms, rental applications and many websites accept only JPG or PNG. iPhones save photos as HEIC, so the form either rejects the file or greys it out.
HEIC to JPG converts the photo in your browser, keeping the original width and height, so the image is ready for the form without installing an app.
Example: a university application asks for a JPG of your ID card under 2 MB. Take the photo on your iPhone, convert it here at Standard quality, then check the size in your Files app before uploading. The same approach works for proof-of-address photos, receipts for expense claims and pictures for insurance claims, where portals commonly accept only JPG, PNG or PDF files.
Some forms also set a maximum size, such as 1 MB or 2 MB. A JPG at Standard quality is usually smaller than one at Maximum. If it is still too large, compress it with Compress Image. Forms that require exact pixel dimensions, such as passport photos, need resizing in an editor; Convertora keeps the original dimensions. Renamed or damaged files are refused safely rather than converted badly.
Step by step

Tips
