Convert HEIC to JPG
Free online HEIC to JPG converter. Drag and drop files, convert in batch, and download, without ever uploading to a server.
Why convert HEIC to JPG?
iPhones save photos as HEIC by default. Most websites, email clients, Windows apps, and social platforms still expect JPG. Converting HEIC to JPG lets you share, upload, and print without installing desktop software. This tool decodes HEIC entirely in your browser with wasm. Your camera roll never uploads to a server.
Tips
- HEIC and HEIF extensions both work; Live Photos export as a still frame.
- Quality 85-92% keeps iPhone photos sharp while staying email-friendly.
- Batch-convert a whole vacation album at once. Nothing leaves your device.
- Need JPEG naming? Download the .jpg file; it is the same format searchers call JPEG.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert HEIC to JPG?
Drop your HEIC file into the converter above, adjust the quality if needed, and click "Convert to JPG". The conversion happens entirely in your browser. Your file is never uploaded to any server.
Is the HEIC to JPG conversion lossless?
HEIC from iPhones is usually already lossy (HEVC). This tool decodes those pixels then writes JPG with controllable quality. Use 85%+ for photos.
Is there a file size limit?
The tool can handle files up to about 20 MB per image. Since processing happens in your browser, the practical limit is your device's available memory. Most modern devices can comfortably batch-convert dozens of images at once.
Are my HEIC files uploaded to your servers?
No. All HEIC to JPG conversion happens entirely client-side. HEIC is decoded with a wasm library loaded only when needed. Your files never leave your browser.
Why does my iPhone even use HEIC instead of JPG?
Apple switched the default camera format to HEIC starting with iOS 11 in 2017, mainly to save storage space. HEIC uses the HEVC video codec to compress photos. Apple's own figures put a HEIC file at roughly half the size of an equivalent JPEG at similar quality, which matters when a phone takes thousands of photos with limited storage. The tradeoff is compatibility. JPEG is nearly 35 years old and widely supported. HEIC is newer and licensing-encumbered enough that many platforms never added native support for it.
