Convert HEIC to JPG
Turn iPhone HEIC photos into universal JPGs — unlimited, private, and right in your browser.
Why iPhones save photos as HEIC
Since iOS 11, iPhones and iPads capture photos in HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container), Apple’s flavour of the HEIF standard. HEIC stores the same picture at roughly half the file size of JPG, which is great for your camera roll but awful for sharing: Windows, many web upload forms, older Android phones, email clients, and plenty of editing tools still refuse to open it.
That mismatch is the whole reason this page exists. Instead of digging through iPhone settings or installing Microsoft’s HEIF extension, you can drop your photos here and get back ordinary JPGs that open anywhere.
How to convert HEIC to JPG
Drag your .heic files onto the box above (or tap to browse). Conversion starts immediately, several photos at a time, and each one gets a Download button the moment it finishes. For a whole camera roll, use “Download all (.zip)” to grab everything in one file.
The quality slider controls JPG compression. 82% is a good default that’s visually lossless for most photos; push it to 95%+ if you plan to print, or lower it to shrink the files for email.
Your photos never leave your device
This converter runs entirely in your browser using the open-source libheif decoder compiled to WebAssembly. Your images are never uploaded to a server — you can open your browser’s Network tab and watch: nothing goes out. That matters, because phone photos carry GPS coordinates and other EXIF metadata you probably don’t want sitting on a stranger’s server.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a limit on how many HEIC files I can convert?
No. You can convert a single photo or a few hundred at once. The only practical limit is your device’s memory, since everything is processed locally.
Will converting to JPG reduce the quality?
JPG is a lossy format, so there is a small quality trade-off, but at the default 82% setting it is visually indistinguishable from the original for almost all photos. Raise the quality slider if you need maximum fidelity.
Does it keep the photo’s date and location?
The current version re-encodes the image and does not copy EXIF metadata into the JPG, which means location and timestamp are stripped. For privacy that is often a feature; full EXIF-preserve is on the roadmap.
Can I convert HEIC to JPG on Windows or Android?
Yes. Because everything runs in the browser, it works the same on Windows, macOS, Android, ChromeOS and iPhone — no app or extension required.
