HEIC to JPG Converter

Convert iPhone HEIC photos to JPG or PNG in your browser — free, private and no software to install.

About the HEIC to JPG Converter

Convert iPhone HEIC and HEIF photos to universally compatible JPG or PNG, free and directly in your browser. No software to install, no account to create and — most importantly — no uploading: your photos are decoded and converted on your own device, so personal pictures never touch a server.

Apple's iPhones and iPads save photos in HEIC by default because it halves storage space, but Windows PCs, Android phones, older software and most upload forms still expect JPG. This converter bridges that gap: drop in one HEIC photo or a whole batch, choose JPG for small shareable files or PNG for lossless quality, and download the results with previews.

The converter handles multi-image HEIC files (such as burst shots) and preserves the full resolution of your originals at 90% JPG quality. Once converted, you can pass the photos to our image compressor or resizer if a form also demands a specific file size or dimensions.

How to Use the HEIC to JPG Converter

  1. 1Drag your HEIC or HEIF photos into the upload box (you can select several at once).
  2. 2Choose the output format: JPG for smaller files or PNG for lossless quality.
  3. 3Click Convert and wait a few seconds per photo.
  4. 4Preview each converted image and download them individually or all together.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert iPhone HEIC photos to JPG for free?

Open this page, drag your HEIC photos into the upload area, pick JPG as the output and click Convert. The conversion runs in your browser at no cost — no watermarks, no sign-up and no limit on the number of photos. Each converted JPG appears with a preview and its own download button.

Why won't my HEIC photos open on Windows?

Windows needs the paid "HEVC Video Extensions" codec to display HEIC files, so most PCs show an error or a blank thumbnail instead. The simplest fix is converting the photos to JPG, which every version of Windows, every browser and every app can open. This tool does that conversion locally without installing anything.

Does converting HEIC to JPG reduce quality?

Slightly, because JPG re-encodes the image, but at the 90% quality this tool uses the difference is practically invisible. If you want a pixel-perfect copy, choose PNG output instead — it is lossless, though the files are considerably larger. For sharing, email and form uploads, JPG is the right choice.

How do I stop my iPhone from taking HEIC photos?

On your iPhone go to Settings, then Camera, then Formats, and switch from "High Efficiency" to "Most Compatible". New photos will then be saved as JPG directly. Existing HEIC photos in your library stay in HEIC format — convert those with this tool whenever you need JPG copies.

Are my photos uploaded when I convert them here?

No. The HEIC decoder runs as JavaScript inside your browser, so your photos never leave your device. Nothing is uploaded, stored or logged. This makes the tool safe for family photos, documents photographed with your iPhone and anything else private.

Can I convert many HEIC files at once?

Yes — select or drop in as many HEIC files as you like and they are converted one after another in the same batch. Each finished photo shows a preview, its new file size and a download button, and a Download All button saves everything in one click. Large batches simply take a few seconds longer.
