HEIC to JPG Converter
Turn iPhone HEIC photos into JPG or PNG that open anywhere.
How to use the HEIC to JPG Converter
- Drop your .heic or .heif photos on the left, or click to choose them.
- Choose JPG or PNG and, for JPG, the quality.
- Press Convert. Each photo takes a moment; the bar shows how far along it is.
- Download the photos one at a time, or all together as a ZIP.
Examples
JPG at quality 90: great quality, a fraction of the PNG size.
PNG keeps every pixel exactly, but files are several times larger.
About this tool
iPhones and iPads save photos in HEIC (also called HEIF) to save space. That is great on Apple devices, but many Windows programs, websites, upload forms and older apps cannot open these files. This converter turns them into ordinary JPG or PNG images that work everywhere.
The decoding happens inside your browser. If your browser can already read HEIC (recent Safari can), the tool uses that directly, which is quick. Otherwise it loads a HEIC decoder into the page the first time you convert. A full-resolution 12- or 48-megapixel iPhone photo can take a few seconds each, so a big batch needs a little patience. Nothing is uploaded at any point.
Some HEIC files hold more than one image, such as bursts or edited versions. In that case the first, main image is converted. Tip: to stop your iPhone creating HEIC files in the first place, choose Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible.
Frequently asked questions
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Your photos are decoded and converted on your own device inside the browser tab. They are never sent to a server, which matters for personal pictures.
Why is the conversion slow?
HEIC is a demanding format, and modern iPhone photos are very large. Without built-in browser support, decoding runs in JavaScript, which takes a few seconds per photo. Safari is usually much faster.
Should I choose JPG or PNG?
JPG is the right choice for almost all photos: small files, opens everywhere. PNG is lossless but often 5-10× larger, so only pick it if you plan to edit the image heavily.
Is the location and camera data kept?
No. The converted file is a fresh image without the original EXIF metadata, so GPS location and device details are not included. That is handy when sharing photos publicly.
What about Live Photos?
The still image is converted. The short video part of a Live Photo is a separate file and is not included.
