How to Turn an iPhone HEIC Photo Into a Small JPG for an Upload

To turn an iPhone HEIC photo into a small JPG for an upload, open the photo in ResizePing, choose JPG output, and select Target size mode. Type your target in KB for the upload form, check the projected size, and run the conversion.

Need a smaller photo? ResizePing compresses photos to a size in KB or MB on iPhone and Android. Get it on Google Play or the App Store.

iPhone photos are often HEIC, and some upload portals only accept JPG files within a size limit. If you only need format conversion without shrinking file weight, read our guide on how to convert HEIC to JPG on Android or iPhone. When an upload form requires both a JPG file and a specific size, you can convert and compress the image together in ResizePing on iPhone. The app is also available on Android.

Steps

Open ResizePing on your iPhone and select the HEIC photo.
Select JPG as your output format.
Select Target size mode.
Type your target in KB required by the upload form.
Review the projected size shown for your photo before you run. Location data is stripped by default.
Run it to convert the HEIC photo to JPG and compress it.
Check the result size on the comparison screen, then use Share or Done.

FAQ

What if the saved JPG lands slightly over the form limit?

The saved file can land slightly above the number you type, so if a form has a hard limit, type a slightly lower target (for example 490 for 500 KB), and check the saved size.

What should I do if ResizePing warns that the target cannot be reached?

If a target cannot be reached, ResizePing warns before you run; lower the resolution first. Switch to dimensions or percent mode to reduce the image dimensions before applying your target size in KB.

Does ResizePing upload my photos to its servers?

No. Never uploaded to our servers.

Is camera location data removed from the converted JPG?

Yes. Location data is stripped by default from your photo.
