Why do Windows PCs and web forms reject HEIC photos?

Unlike JPG which has been an open standard since 1992, HEIC requires proprietary codecs and patents. Many Windows apps, email clients, DMV portals, passport submission systems, and websites cannot natively read HEIC files.

Are my personal iPhone photos uploaded to any server?

No! PullDL converts your HEIC images completely in your browser memory using local WebAssembly. Zero bytes of your private photos are uploaded or saved to any external server.

Can I convert multiple HEIC photos at once?

Yes, our Batch Converter supports converting dozens of iPhone photos simultaneously and downloading them with a single click.

How do I make my iPhone take JPG photos permanently?

On your iPhone, go to Settings > Camera > Formats and select 'Most Compatible' instead of 'High Efficiency'. However, this will cause new photos to consume double the storage space.
