HEIC to JPG Converter

iPhone photos are saved as HEIC, which many Windows PCs, websites and forms cannot open. Convert them to JPG here, one photo or a whole batch, without uploading anything.

Larger images are scaled down; smaller ones are left as they are.

What happens when you convert HEIC to JPG

The photo is decoded on your device and saved again as a JPG, which every phone, computer, editor and upload form opens. At 90% quality the JPG looks the same as the HEIC, but the file is usually larger, often about twice the size.

Camera details and GPS location stored in the HEIC are not copied to the JPG, so the converted photo is safer to share. Live Photo motion and depth data are dropped too; you get the still photo.

When to convert HEIC to JPG

  • A Windows PC or an older app shows an error or a blank thumbnail for photos from an iPhone.
  • A government, exam, job or visa form accepts only JPG or JPEG.
  • You are sending photos to someone whose phone or software does not support HEIC.

Tips for the best result

  • To stop an iPhone making HEIC files at all, set Settings > Camera > Formats to Most Compatible. New photos are then saved as JPG.
  • Settings > Photos > Transfer to Mac or PC > Automatic makes the iPhone convert photos to JPG when you copy them to a computer over a cable.
  • Need a smaller file for a form? Convert here, then use the image compressor to bring the JPG under the size limit.

Frequently asked questions

What is a HEIC file?

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the photo format iPhones use by default. It stores photos at about half the size of JPG, but many apps, websites and Windows PCs cannot open it without extra software.

Does converting HEIC to JPG lose quality?

Very little at 90% quality: the difference is not visible in normal viewing. The JPG file is usually larger than the HEIC, because JPG compression is less efficient.

Can I convert many HEIC photos at once?

Yes. Add up to 50 photos and download them one by one or together as a ZIP.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. The photos are decoded and converted in your browser; they never leave your device. The first HEIC you add loads the decoder (about 1 MB), so the first conversion takes a moment longer.

Why is my HEIC file not converting?

Some HEIC files are image sequences or bursts rather than a single photo, and a few apps write HEIC variants the decoder cannot read. Try exporting the photo again from the Photos app, or share it as JPG from the phone.
