HEIC to JPG Converter
Convert iPhone HEIC photos to JPG
Conversion happens entirely in your browser - your photos are never uploaded to a server. Very large batches may take a few seconds per photo.
iPhones save photos as HEIC files to save space, but HEIC still will not open in many Windows apps, older editors, printers and web upload forms. This free HEIC to JPG Converter turns one photo - or a whole batch - into standard JPG files that work everywhere. Choose your files, set the quality, click convert, and download each JPG from the list. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using the open-source heic2any library: your photos never leave your device, which matters for personal pictures.
Quality is the one choice worth thinking about. At 90% (the default) a converted JPG looks identical to the original for normal viewing and printing, while taking a little more space than the HEIC did. Drop to 70-80% if you are converting photos for a web form or email and want smaller files; keep 95-100% only for archiving, knowing the files will be much larger for almost no visible gain. Note that HEIC can store transparency and very wide colour in some cases; JPG does not support transparency, so transparent areas become white. The original HEIC files on your device are never changed - the JPGs are new copies.
How to use
- Click "Choose HEIC / HEIF files" and select one or more photos (hold Ctrl or Cmd to pick several).
- Set the JPG quality slider - 90% is right for most photos.
- Click "Convert to JPG" and wait while each file is converted in turn.
- Click the "Download JPG" link next to each converted photo to save it.
Frequently asked questions
Why are my iPhone photos saved as HEIC?
Apple uses HEIC (part of the HEIF standard) because it stores the same photo quality in roughly half the space of JPG. The downside is compatibility: many Windows programs, older photo editors, some printers and plenty of websites still cannot open HEIC files, which is exactly the problem this converter solves.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. This converter decodes the HEIC files inside your own browser and builds the JPGs there too. Nothing is uploaded, stored or tracked - you can even disconnect from the internet after the page has loaded and the conversion still works.
Will the JPG look worse than the HEIC original?
At the default 90% quality, no visible difference for normal viewing, sharing or printing. JPG is a lossy format, so converting at very low quality (under about 60%) will soften fine detail. If the photo matters, keep the original HEIC as your archive copy and use the JPG for sharing and uploads.
Can I convert many photos at once?
Yes - select as many files as you like and they are converted one after another so your browser does not run out of memory. Each finished photo gets its own download link in the list. Very large photos (48 MP shots) take a few seconds each.
