HEIC to JPG Converter

Open iPhone photos anywhere: convert HEIC and HEIF images to JPG, PNG or WebP at full resolution. Convert a whole batch in one go — your photos are decoded on your device and never uploaded.

Runs in your browser Free · no sign-up

At a glance

  • Converts HEIC and HEIF photos (the default iPhone and iPad camera format) to JPG, PNG or WebP.
  • Works in Chrome, Edge and Firefox using libheif compiled to WebAssembly, and uses Safari’s built-in decoder where available.
  • Keeps the full original resolution and turns photos the right way up.
  • Multi-image HEIC files (bursts and collections) can be converted to one image each.
  • Converts any number of photos at once, with a ZIP download.
  • Decoding runs in a background worker, so the page stays responsive with large batches.
  • Photos are never uploaded, and metadata such as GPS location is not copied into the converted files.

Step by step

How to convert HEIC to JPG

  1. 1

    Add your HEIC photos

    Drag and drop .heic or .heif files onto the box, or click to browse.

  2. 2

    Choose the format

    Pick JPG (recommended), PNG or WebP, and adjust quality if you like — 92 is visually lossless.

  3. 3

    Wait a moment

    Each photo is decoded and converted in your browser. Large batches take a few seconds per photo.

  4. 4

    Download

    Download each photo, or click Download all for a ZIP.

Features

Everything you need, nothing you don’t

Works on any computer

Windows and Android often can’t open HEIC without extra software. Convert to JPG here and the photos open everywhere.

Full resolution, right way up

Photos keep every pixel of the original, and rotation stored in the file is applied so nothing comes out sideways.

JPG, PNG or WebP

JPG for sharing and uploads, PNG for further editing, WebP for small, high-quality web images.

Batch conversion

Drop a whole folder of iPhone photos and download them as one ZIP.

Private by design

Many HEIC converters upload your photos. Here they are decoded on your own device, and location data is left out of the new files.

Bursts and collections

Turn on one switch to convert every image stored in multi-image HEIC files, not just the main one.

What is a HEIC file?

HEIC is Apple’s name for photos stored in the HEIF format using HEVC (H.265) compression. iPhones and iPads have saved photos as HEIC by default since iOS 11 because the files are roughly half the size of JPGs at similar quality.

The catch is compatibility: many Windows PCs, Android phones, websites and upload forms can’t open HEIC. Converting to JPG makes the photos work everywhere.

How to make your iPhone save JPG instead

Open Settings → Camera → Formats and choose Most Compatible. New photos are then saved as JPG. Existing HEIC photos stay HEIC — convert those here.

When you email a photo or share it to some apps, iOS may already convert it to JPG automatically. Photos copied from the phone to a computer over USB or cloud storage usually stay HEIC.

Opening HEIC on Windows

Windows 10 and 11 can display HEIC only after installing the HEIF Image Extensions and HEVC Video Extensions from the Microsoft Store, and the HEVC extension is a paid download. Converting to JPG avoids installing anything.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is this HEIC to JPG converter free?

Yes. It is free with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on the number of photos.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. Your HEIC photos are decoded and converted entirely in your browser, and never leave your device.

Does converting reduce quality?

JPG at quality 92 (the default) looks identical to the original for practically all photos. Choose PNG if you need a lossless copy for editing.

Why is the JPG bigger than the HEIC?

HEIC uses more efficient compression than JPG, so the same photo takes more space as a JPG. That is the price of compatibility. Use WebP for smaller files.

Is location data kept?

No. Converted files don’t include the original metadata, so GPS location, camera details and capture time are left out — safer for sharing.

Can I convert many HEIC files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like; they are converted one after another and can be downloaded together as a ZIP.

Does it work on Windows and Android?

Yes. It works in Chrome, Edge and Firefox on Windows, Mac, Linux and Android. Safari on Mac, iPhone and iPad works too.

Some files show an error. Why?

The file may be damaged, or it may not really be a HEIC photo — for example, a video saved with a .heic name. Try exporting the photo from the Photos app again.
