    About the HEIC to JPG tool

    Convert HEIC to JPG online for free. HEIC is the default photo format on modern iPhones and iPads, but most Windows PCs, Android phones, websites, and email clients can't open it. This converter turns your HEIC files into universally compatible JPGs right in your browser — no upload, no Apple ID, no software install.

    How to use the HEIC to JPG

    1. Step 1: Select your HEIC photo

      Drop a .heic or .heif file into the upload area or tap to choose from your photo library. Multiple files can be processed back-to-back.

    2. Step 2: In-browser decoding

      The tool uses the heic2any library to decode Apple's HEIC format directly in your browser and re-encode it as a high-quality JPG.

    3. Step 3: Download the JPG

      Save the converted JPG to your device, ready to upload to any website, attach to any email, or open on any computer.

    Why use this HEIC to JPG?

    Apple introduced HEIC in iOS 11 to save storage, but compatibility hasn't caught up. Sending a HEIC to a Windows colleague, uploading one to a job application portal, or sharing one on Twitter usually fails. Converting to JPG fixes all of these problems.

    Most online HEIC converters require you to upload your photo to their server, which is invasive for personal pictures. This tool decodes HEIC locally using WebAssembly, so your photos never leave your phone or computer.

    Works on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows, Android, Linux, and ChromeOS. No app to install from the App Store, no software to download, no signup. Just drop and convert.

    Frequently asked questions

    Why is my iPhone saving photos as HEIC?
    Apple uses HEIC because it produces files about half the size of JPG at the same quality. The downside is limited compatibility outside Apple's ecosystem — which is why you need a converter.
    Will the JPG be lower quality?
    Slightly. JPG is also lossy, so re-encoding adds a small quality reduction. At default settings the difference is imperceptible.
    Does this work on iPhone Safari?
    Yes. The tool works on iPhone and iPad Safari, Chrome on Android, and all desktop browsers.
    Can I stop my iPhone saving as HEIC?
    Yes — Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible. Your iPhone will then save new photos as JPG directly.
    Are my photos uploaded?
    No. HEIC decoding happens entirely in your browser. Your photos are never sent anywhere.
