Convert HEIC photos to JPG
iPhones save photos in HEIC format to save storage space, but many computers, websites and apps still can't open it. This HEIC to JPG converter turns your iPhone and iPad photos into standard JPG (or PNG) files right in your browser. Drop in a single photo or a whole album and download the converted images individually or as a ZIP file. No app to install, no account, and your photos are never uploaded.
How it works
The first time you add a HEIC file, the page loads a HEIC decoder that runs locally in your browser. Each photo is decoded, rotated according to its orientation, and saved as JPG at the quality you choose (or as lossless PNG). Because the processing happens on your own device, conversion speed depends on your computer or phone — a typical 12-megapixel photo takes a second or two.
JPG or PNG?
- JPG is the best choice for photos: files are compact and open everywhere. A quality of 85–92 keeps the photo visually identical to the original.
- PNG is lossless but produces very large files for photos (often 15–25 MB for an iPhone picture). Use it only if you need a lossless copy for editing.
When you need HEIC to JPG
- Sending iPhone photos to friends or colleagues using Windows or Android.
- Uploading photos to websites, online shops, job portals or government forms that only accept JPG.
- Printing photos at a shop or online service.
- Importing pictures into older editing or office software.
Privacy note
HEIC photos usually contain detailed EXIF metadata, including the GPS coordinates where they were taken. The converted files don't include this metadata, so you can share them more safely. If you want to remove metadata from existing JPGs without converting, use Remove EXIF.
To make the converted photos smaller, run them through Compress Image, or convert to other formats with the Image Converter.
