HEIC to JPG

Convert iPhone HEIC/HEIF photos to JPG or PNG that open on Windows, Android and any website — in your browser, in batches of up to 20, with a server mode for photos the browser can’t read.

In-browser by default HEIC, HEIF → JPG

Standard mode runs in your browser with no upload. High-fidelity mode uploads the file for processing on our server; our copies are deleted within 1 hour(s).

To convert HEIC to JPG, add your .heic photos and select Convert. The photos are decoded in your browser and saved as JPG (or PNG), ready to upload anywhere.

iPhones save photos as HEIC by default to save space, but many websites and Windows apps can’t open them. If a photo won’t convert in your browser, the Server mode tab converts it on our server instead.

How to use the HEIC to JPG

  1. 1

    Add HEIC photos

    Up to 20 files, 30 MB each.

  2. 2

    Choose JPG or PNG and quality

    JPG at 90% is a good default.

  3. 3

    Convert and download

    Decoding HEIC is processor-intensive, so give it a few seconds per photo.

Features

  • Batch conversion

    Convert a whole set of photos at once.

  • Recent iPhones

    Reads current iPhone HEIC photos, turned the right way up.

Limitations

  • HEIC decoding is slow on older phones.
  • EXIF data such as location isn’t kept.
  • Only the main photo of a HEIC file is converted (not Live Photo frames or depth maps).
  • Server mode uploads the photo; after the free daily uses it costs 1 credit.

Troubleshooting

Conversion is slow
Convert fewer photos at a time, or use a computer.
“could not be converted”
Try the Server mode tab, which reads more HEIC types. If that fails too, the file may not be a HEIC photo despite its name.

Frequently asked questions

How can I stop my iPhone taking HEIC photos?

Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible. New photos will be JPG.

Is quality lost converting HEIC to JPG?

Slightly, as JPG is lossy, but at 90% quality the difference is hard to see. Choose PNG for lossless output.

Are my photos uploaded?

Not in the standard in-browser mode — conversion runs on your device. Server mode uploads the photo to convert it and deletes it within an hour.
