HEIC to JPG Converter

Convert HEIC iPhone photos to JPG online, free. Runs entirely in your browser — your photos are never uploaded to any server.

This free converter turns HEIC photos from your iPhone into standard JPG images that open anywhere, and it does it entirely in your browser — your photos are never uploaded. Choose a HEIC file and download the JPG moments later; the first conversion loads the decoder, and the rest are quick.

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the format iPhones use by default because it stores high-quality photos in about half the space of JPG. The catch is compatibility: Windows, many websites, older Android phones and plenty of apps still can't open a .heic file, which is why you end up needing to convert one before you can upload or share it. Converting to JPG produces a universally-supported image at high quality.

Doing it in the browser matters here more than for most tools, because these are your personal photos. Server-based HEIC converters upload every picture you convert; this one keeps them on your device — you can even turn off Wi-Fi after the page loads. There is no signup, no watermark and no limit beyond your device's memory. Worked example: IMG_4021.HEIC downloads as IMG_4021.jpg, ready to attach or post.

Frequently asked questions

Why won't my HEIC files open on Windows or the web?

HEIC is Apple's default photo format and many platforms — Windows, older Android, lots of websites — don't support it. Converting to JPG produces an image that opens everywhere.

Does converting to JPG lose quality?

There is a small, generally invisible quality change because JPG is lossy, and the converter uses a high quality setting (0.92) to keep photos looking sharp.

Are my photos uploaded to a server?

No. Decoding and conversion happen entirely in your browser — your photos never leave your device, which matters most for personal images.

Why does the first conversion take a moment?

The HEIC decoder is a WebAssembly module that loads on first use. After that first load it stays cached and subsequent conversions are fast.
